About CandorBrief
A shareable professional profile should make the next step easier.
Clear, privacy-aware professional profiles for better recruiting and hiring conversations.
CandorBrief helps professionals share the right evidence with the right audience, while giving hiring teams, founders, executives, and prospective clients a clearer starting point than a Resume/CV alone.
For Recruiters, Hiring Teams, Founders & Executives
Get context before you spend time chasing it down.
The Brief tab is this professional's CandorBrief: a focused professional profile, not a generic personal site or a pile of attachments. It shows the evidence this professional chose to share for this audience and access level.
Start with what matters
Review the selected experience, capabilities, projects, and links before you ask for more. The professional controls what information is shared.
Ask better follow-up questions
When AI prompts are available, they turn the shared information into a practical discussion guide for the AI tool you already use, whether you are hiring, scoping an engagement, or evaluating a partnership.
Keep the process human
CandorBrief helps you prepare for a more informed conversation with a real person, not a verdict.
How to use this CandorBrief
- Read the CandorBrief to understand the professional story and shared context.
- When available, review and copy a carefully crafted, curated prompt into the AI tool of your choice for structured interview or research questions.
- Use the contact or access option shown in the CandorBrief when you are ready to continue.
CandorBrief is AI-free: the professional chooses what information and prompts to share, and you choose whether to use them and which AI tool to use. CandorBrief does not send this profile, your notes, or a copied prompt to an AI service.
About CandorBrief
Make your experience easier to understand and easier to remember.
A Resume/CV has to carry a lot in a small space. CandorBrief gives you a focused companion page where you decide what to share, how much access to offer, and what kinds of conversations you want to invite.

Share one clear link with recruiters, hiring leaders, founders, and executives, then keep your public evidence and next steps current without rebuilding a page from scratch.
For a role, engagement, or audience
Put relevant work, links, visibility choices, and prompts in front of the people you want to reach, whether they are hiring for a role, selecting a fractional leader, or scoping contract work.
For more thoughtful conversations

When Pro fits
Why upgrade to Pro?
Free is intentionally complete for one strong professional profile. Pro is for the point where one profile is no longer the clearest way to represent your work.
You have more than one professional story
Keep focused variations for different roles, executive or fractional work, consulting engagements, or audiences without overwriting your Free foundation.
Each audience needs its own share path
Give each variation its own visibility, access settings, prompts, draft status, and public URL, then publish only when it is ready.
You want broader prompt flexibility
Keep the same curated Prompt Library, then select every eligible prompt independently for the professional context it supports.
Common questions
CandorBrief FAQ
Does CandorBrief use AI in the background?
No. CandorBrief does not send your Resume/CV, profile, notes, or prompts to an AI service. It provides carefully crafted prompts that a visitor can review and copy into the AI tool they choose.
Is CandorBrief Free actually useful on its own?
Yes. Free includes one complete professional profile, visibility and access controls, verified connection flows, Protected Brief invitations, and a 40-prompt library with up to three eligible public prompts active at a time.
What do I need to run CandorBrief?
CandorBrief is a WordPress plugin. You need a current WordPress site where you can install and configure plugins, access to its wp-admin area, and a page where you can place the CandorBrief shortcode. CandorBrief Pro also requires CandorBrief Free.
Do I need an account to view a CandorBrief?
No WordPress account is needed to view information shared publicly. Some access modes invite you to submit and verify an email request before the professional shares more.
When does Pro make sense?
Pro makes sense when you need distinct professional variations for separate roles, audiences, clients, engagements, or opportunities. Your Free primary profile remains intact while Pro adds up to five focused variations.
What Pro information stays private?
Workspace labels, profile-purpose notes, the Workspace contact email, and the existence of other profile variations remain private. Visitors see only the deliberate public presentation you share with them.
Can visitors use any AI tool?
Yes. When a prompt is available, the visitor reviews it and copies it into the AI tool of their choice. CandorBrief does not control that external tool or claim to isolate it from its own memory, knowledge, or settings.
Does CandorBrief make hiring decisions or write my Resume/CV?
No. CandorBrief helps a professional organize and share source-based information. It does not invent claims, write a Resume/CV for you, rank candidates, or decide who should be hired.
What happens after a prompt is copied
Every public prompt is visible in full before anyone copies it, and the professional chooses exactly what information appears in the CandorBrief.
Prompts are copied as plain text. Once copied, the reviewer can edit, combine, or ignore any part of the prompt in the AI tool they choose. CandorBrief cannot see, control, or verify those changes, the AI tool’s settings, its memory, or its output. Use the displayed prompt and the professional’s shared information as the reference point.
