Recagn only had the brief.

You know the client.

Recagn writes the rubric. You decide what counts.

The brief said payment experience matters. On the call, the client told you what they meant. Choose the wording for criterion 2 and see what it changes.

What Recagn had · the client's brief

…You'll build Spring Boot services that move money, so experience with payment flows matters.

What you know · your note from the call, Monday

“They care that the person has handled reversals. Owning the service is a bonus.”

What this changes for Ananya R.

Draft preview · rubric not locked

Her answers don't establish service ownership. The draft criterion stays open.

3.35 of 5Recommended: Maybe

Same answers, same weights. Only the wording of criterion 2 differs.

  1. Criterion 2 · Recagn's draft

    Owned a payments or ledger service

  2. Her CV · line 4 · read before any interview

    “Payments experience: refunds and reversal flows for UPI”

    Line 4 says “payments experience”. It doesn't say she owned a service.unknown
  3. Her answers · all six questions

    Nothing in her answers says she owned the service. Not established, and not disproved.

Thirty minutes, on one of your roles.

Answer at a time that suits them.

Every candidate answers the same questions against the same rubric. They're told up front that AI helps evaluate their answers.

The clip sequence

  1. 0–4s. Question 3 of 6: Walk me through a payment you had to reverse in production. What did you check first? Under it: This interview uses AI to help evaluate your responses. You may request human review at any point.
  2. 4–13s. Ananya types her answer: We had a UPI double debit. I checked the reconciliation log first, then the idempotency key on the retry.
  3. 13–18s. She presses Save & next. Her answer is saved and question 4 of 6 opens: What have you done with Kafka or RabbitMQ in production?

Asking for a person takes one press.

A candidate can ask for human review at any point. Try the request as Ananya.

Against the rubric you locked. The weighted score is each criterion score times its weight, divided by the sum of the weights, on a scale of 1 to 5. See the working ↑

No. Recagn recommends. Only you can reject a candidate. See the decision ↑

What do candidates see?

What does a later role do with earlier evidence?

Recagn adjusts the sourcing order from that candidate's own earlier evidence: how they did on roles that share a criterion, your decisions and your client's outcomes, and whether they replied. The adjustment is capped. It shows the reason, and how fast it fades. It never changes a recommendation or an interview score, and it never invites or rejects anyone. See an adjustment
