Sharing Interview Results With Hiring Stakeholders: PDF Reports Done Right

Who reads these reports

Three audiences:

• Hiring managers who need 60 seconds to decide "advance or not."
• Founders or execs signing off on senior hires who want evidence, not opinions.
• Recruiting agencies' clients who need an audit-quality artifact.

The same PDF must serve all three. The structure that does it:

Page 1: the verdict and the why

• Candidate name, role, assessment date.
• Overall recommendation in plain language.
• Three bullet "strengths" with one supporting quote each.
• Three bullet "concerns" with one supporting quote each.

If a hiring manager reads only this page, they should be able to make a defensible decision. If they read further, they should find evidence, not new claims.

Page 2: the rubric scores

• Each rubric dimension, score, and the one-line anchor matched.
• One-sentence justification per score.

This page is the "argue from evidence" backbone. It is what you point to when someone disagrees with the recommendation.

Page 3: the integrity summary

• Top-line verdict from the integrity report (clean / minor flags / requires review).
• Key signals: paste events, face continuity, off-camera audio.
• A timestamped link to the full integrity report for anyone who wants depth.

Most readers will not need page 3. The ones who do really need it.

Page 4: appendix

• The candidate's actual code submission, formatted with syntax highlighting.
• Transcript excerpts only if directly cited above.

What to leave out

• Resume or photo. Distracts from evidence.
• "AI insights" prose paragraphs. Almost always vapid.
• Demographic information of any kind. Legal risk and bias risk.
• Marketing branding above what is needed for legitimacy.
