Turn messy client intake into a calibrated search — role brief, rubric, scorecard, and JD in one session

ZeroTwo reads the client brief, old JD, org chart, compensation notes, and intake call transcript — and produces a clean role brief, screening rubric, interviewer scorecard, and revised job description that the whole team works from. Every recruiter on the search inherits the same context, not their own reinterpretation of scattered documents.

The hiring manager wants 8+ years FinTech experience but the comp budget tops out at $145K — that's a 2-3 year mismatch in the current market. I've flagged it in the role brief with a comp benchmarking note. The role brief and rubric are ready; I'd recommend a 15-minute alignment call before the first submissions to address this before it kills shortlist momentum.

Client intake tools built for recruiting agencies

One intake session → the entire search workspace

ZeroTwo turns an intake call transcript, old JD, and a client brief into a role brief, screening rubric, scorecard, and revised JD in one session — saved in a Project so every recruiter on the search works from the same calibrated source of truth, not their own interpretation.

Stakeholder misalignment caught before it kills the search

ZeroTwo flags conflicts between what the hiring manager wants and what the comp budget supports — before the first submission. A comp-to-seniority mismatch caught in intake saves two weeks of shortlist feedback cycles.

Rubric and scorecard that travel with every candidate

ZeroTwo produces a structured screening rubric and interviewer scorecard that every recruiter and hiring manager uses — so candidates are evaluated on the same criteria, not different gut reactions from each interviewer.

Step 2
Extract the real criteria
