Turn interview transcripts into candidate profiles

Who did it: Rau Consultants (personnel consultancy, food industry)

About 800 hour-long interviews a year each become a five-page profile. Interviews run in Teams; a preset Copilot prompt turns the transcript into a draft profile that consultants finalise.

Time saved: not stated in the source.

Steps

1. Record and transcribe the interview in Teams (with consent).
2. Run a saved, preset prompt that follows your profile template.
3. Edit the draft for accuracy and your judgement.
4. Reuse the same prompt so every profile has the same structure.

The prompt

Example prompt written by FirstAIWin to match the documented task — not the original user's words. Replace the [brackets].

Using the attached interview transcript, draft a candidate profile with these sections: Summary, Career history, Key skills, Motivation for change, Salary and notice period, Consultant's assessment (leave blank). Use only facts from the transcript; write [missing] where information isn't there.
