How to run an interview loop on Starch

An interview loop is the sequence of conversations, evaluations, and decisions that take a candidate from first call to offer or rejection. It sounds simple — talk to people, decide — but in practice it's a coordination nightmare. You're wrangling four or five interviewers with different calendars, tracking who's given feedback and who hasn't, chasing scorecards over Slack, and trying to make a fair decision when one interviewer's notes are a paragraph and another's are three words. What the loop looks like depends heavily on the role, the team size, and how structured your hiring process already is — but the failure modes are consistent across all of them. On Starch, the loop runs out of a central surface that holds every candidate's status, every scheduled interview, and every scorecard in one place. When a panel member finishes a conversation, their notes get captured automatically and attached to the candidate record. When the loop is complete, you have a structured summary ready for the debrief — not a thread of Slack messages you're piecing together at 11pm before an offer deadline.
