Does Greenhouse have built-in dictation?

Structured scorecards and rating scales. The written feedback is typed.

Why dictate in Greenhouse at all?

Structured hiring depends on interviewers writing real evidence for their ratings. Between interviews there is no time, so the scorecard gets filled in on Friday with 'strong communicator' and no examples.

In practice people use it for: Interview scorecard feedback, candidate notes, job descriptions, and hiring debrief summaries.

Candidate assessments are personal data with legal implications in many jurisdictions. Third-party transcription is a processing step — confirm it fits your privacy policy.

What Typally adds in Greenhouse

Typally types into scorecard feedback fields, so the evidence behind a rating gets written in the five minutes after the interview while you can still quote what the candidate said. Candidate assessments are personal data and audio is processed by a third-party service, so check that against your privacy policy first.

What this looks like in practice

An interviewing panel adopts a rule that scorecards get spoken in the five minutes after each interview. Debriefs stop being arguments about impressions and start being comparisons of what candidates actually said.

One habit that makes it work better

Dictate the scorecard in the five minutes after the interview, before the next one. That is the only time you can quote what the candidate actually said.

Frequently asked questions

Does Greenhouse support dictation?

No. Scorecards and notes are typed.

Why does scorecard timing matter?

Detail decays fast. A scorecard written immediately contains quotes and examples; one written two days later contains adjectives.

Can I dictate candidate feedback?

Check your data protection position first — candidate assessments are personal data and audio leaves your machine.
