“Hi Amara — you rebuilt the ledger at Stark, and we're about to do the same thing. Worth 20 minutes?”
04 · Notes
The debrief becomes a scorecard.
Works from the interview notes you already capture: pulls out the decisions, writes the structured summary into the ATS, and drafts the recap to the panel. It doesn't dial into your interviews.

None of this is how we think you should hire.
Change any stage, drop the ones you don't want, and tell it where it got you wrong — the must-haves, the tone of the outreach, when it chases and when it waits. Persistent memory is on every plan, so you say it once. Pro and Team add custom models trained on how your team actually works.
6 tools become 2.
Nobody set out to run 6 tools. You added a piece of recruiting software a year for 5 years, and a spreadsheet to hold what none of them did — and each one solved a real problem that day.
What you pay for now
- A CV screening add-on
- An outreach tool
- A candidate engagement tool
- A scheduling tool
- A reporting add-on
- The spreadsheet that holds the real status
What you'd keep
- Your ATS: Stays. Same records, same stages, same login.
- Sauna: Does the work the other 5 were bought for.
Your ATS doesn't move.
Sauna reads it and writes back to it. No migration, no second system of record. Turn Sauna off and your pipeline is exactly where you left it.
