Interview
Interview on the same questions, and compare real answers.
Set the questions once and every candidate answers the same ones. Their answers land side by side on one board, so you are comparing what people actually said instead of what you remember from three separate calls.
Bring a freelancer you already work with.
What you get for the interview stage
Written interview questions
Write the questions once on the project and every candidate answers them when they come in. Same questions, same order, every time.
One board for the stage
Move people through interviewing on a single board and open anyone's answers, notes, and history in one panel without leaving the page.
Decisions on the record
Star the people you want to take further, and record a structured reason when you decide against someone, so the decision is still legible in three months.
Direct messaging
Talk to a candidate in a thread attached to the engagement, so the conversation lives with the record rather than in someone's personal inbox.
Start interviewing on questions you set once.
Bring a candidate you already found and run them through it.
