Grok Bot Drafts Interview Scorecards From the Transcript, Then Asks You 4 Questions

xAI's recruiting team built a bot that, after an interview, pulls the meeting transcript, matches it to the role's scorecard and drafts the feedback form in your voice. Then it pauses to ask a few follow-ups (your rating, how it felt, anything fuzzy, what you'd pressure-test next) so the form isn't a transcript dump. You answer, it redrafts and submits to the ATS.
