Introducing AI Templates
Key Takeaways:
We're excited to announce Elly’s new AI templates unlocking the next wave of innovation in recruiting. Today’s launch unlocks so much opportunity for recruiters. More flexibility in note and summary outputs, saving templates depending on the role, an ability to analyse output at scale, and much more.
Why does the world need AI Templates:
Recruiting is changing fast. AI is transforming talent acquisition in ways we’ve never seen before. But while recruiters have more tools at their fingertips than ever, they’re still stuck in the old frustrating loop - juggling call recordings (if they’re even recorded), wrestling with generic AI outputs, and manually formatting notes to fit their workflow.
That’s why we built Elly’s AI Templates.
With this launch, recruiters can:
✅ Tell Elly exactly how to take notes and summarize candidates
✅ Build AI templates tailored to different roles
✅ Customize workflows for interviews, kickoffs, debriefs, and reference calls
This isn’t just another feature - it’s a complete shift in how hiring teams capture, process, and act on insights.
Right now, recruiters are wasting time copying notes from Zoom, pasting them into ChatGPT, tweaking the format, and then manually entering them into their ATS. With Elly, all of this happens in one seamless step - fully integrated with your ATS.
For every 30-minute interview, recruiters spend 10-15 minutes on notes. With Elly? Less than 2 minutes.
That’s 5+ hours saved per week - time that can be reinvested in building relationships and making better hires.
And that’s why companies like Talent Retriever, Klein Hersh, and hundreds more are already trusting us to take them to the next level.
AI Templates aren’t just a convenience - they’re a necessity. AI should work for recruiters, not the other way around.
What are Elly’s AI Templates:
Today is a big day for us at Elly. We’re releasing a huge update to our templates from the ground up with powerful new features to help our customers unlock efficient workflow optimization with more data and better automation.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what we’re launching and why:
Overview:
The AI Template Gallery is a new feature designed to streamline the way we process transcripts and meetings, allowing users to produce high-quality outputs efficiently.

Default Templates
Users now have access to predefined templates instead of just basic default ones. These templates serve as a starting point and can be customized or expanded upon.

Creating New Templates
There are three ways to create a new template:
- Reverse Engineering an Existing Summary - Recruiters or hiring managers can input a previously used summary, and Elly will generate a corresponding template.
- Natural Language Prompting – Users can provide a description such as:
- "This is an interview for a mid-level engineer at a SaaS company."
- "We want to evaluate their background, work experience, and technical hard skills."
- Elly will generate a custom template based on the provided prompt.
- Starting from Scratch - Users can build a template from the ground up.

Using Templates in Meetings
Once a meeting is completed, users can apply templates to generate summaries and notes. These outputs include sections like:
- Introduction and Background
- Candidate Experience in Bullet Points
- Technical Hard Skills
- Problem-Solving and Challenges

Users can modify the applied template post-meeting. For example:
- Selecting a "Generic Entry-Level Candidate Summary" template will reprocess the meeting and generate a new output in under a minute.
- The newly processed summary will feature structured formats such as short paragraphs, bulleted lists, and key candidate details.

Metadata and Candidate Profile Enrichment
This functionality allows users to view enriched metadata, including:
- Previous Company
- Work Experience
- Education Level
- Current and Expected Salary

Feedback and Future Improvements
We welcome user feedback to refine and enhance the AI Template Gallery. If you have any suggestions or immediate thoughts, please share them with us.
