Rubrics & templates

Each rubric edit creates a new version with an author, timestamp and diff. Decisions store the version they were signed off under, so an explainability PDF regenerated months later uses the exact rubric that produced the score — never the current one.

No rubric versions yet. Run a screening — the extracted rubric is recorded as v1, and every edit and re-run adds a version here.

Email templates

Edit these in place and copy them straight into your ATS or inbox. Candidate templates explain Growth Kit messaging; HR templates pitch Qcandidate back to hiring teams using the same language, so the story stays consistent on both sides. Edits are saved in this browser.

Candidate messaging

Growth Kit — not selected this time

SubjectBody

Hi {{candidate}},

Thank you for applying for {{role}} at {{company}}. We reviewed your CV against a published rubric and this time we moved forward with other candidates.

You should not have to guess why. Here is exactly what the scoring showed:
• Fit score: {{score}}/100 (rank {{rank}} of {{total}} applicants)
• Strongest area: {{strength}}
• Biggest gap against the rubric: {{gap}}

Because of that gap, we put together a free Growth Kit for you:
• Free course: {{course}}
• Why it matters: closing {{gap}} is the single change most likely to move your score above our shortlist line next time.

You can also earn from the skills you already have while you study:
• Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal and Contra all hire for {{strength}} on a per-project basis.
• A Fiverr gig description you can paste in today: "{{fiverrSentence}}"

Your full score breakdown lives in your candidate portal: {{portalLink}}

We would genuinely like to see your application again once you have finished the course.

HR pitch

HR cold outreach — the rejection pipeline

SubjectBody

Hi {{hrContact}},

Most screening tools sell you the same thing: rank the CVs faster. Qcandidate does that — top 5 out of thousands, with an evidence table behind every score — but that is table stakes.

The part HR teams actually remember is what happens to the other 995 candidates.

Every rejected applicant automatically receives a Growth Kit: the specific skills gap that cost them the role, a free course that closes it, freelance marketplaces where their existing skills already earn, and a ready-to-post freelance gig description. Same language you would use internally, sent in your brand.

What that gets {{hrCompany}}:
• A rejection experience candidates re-apply to instead of resenting.
• A one-click compliance evidence pack — bias audit, explainability artifacts, screening logs — for NYC Local Law 144 and EU AI Act human-oversight records.
• No sales cycle: your team can start screening in the browser this afternoon.

Worth 20 minutes to run it on one of your live reqs?
