How do HR teams and recruiters use Kortex?

HR teams and recruiters use Kortex, a Chrome extension for Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), to keep the handbook and policies in a notebook that answers with citations, and a notebook per role with job descriptions, market research and LinkedIn posts. They build interview kits from saved prompts and follow their company’s privacy rules on candidate and employee data.

Candidate and employee data

Kortex sends what you import to Gemini Notebook in your own Google account; Kortex itself doesn’t keep your chats or the contents of your sources. CVs, interview notes and employee records are personal data, so follow your company’s privacy policy and the data-protection law that applies to you, such as GDPR, before adding them. We don’t claim Kortex meets those rules on your behalf.

Where HR time goes

The same questions and the same searches, every week. Kortex makes the answers findable.

Policies, hiring and onboarding

Candidate and employee data follows your company’s privacy rules.

Ask questions of your handbook

Policy questions answered with the section they came from.

  1. Send the handbook and policy Docs from Google Docs to a Policies notebook.
  2. Ask the questions people ask you. Each answer cites the section it came from.
  3. When a policy changes, click Sync Google Docs to pull the latest version.
  4. If your company allows it, share the notebook from Gemini Notebook so people can ask it themselves.

Research a role before you write the ad

The skills and titles that matter, each with a source.

  1. Create a notebook for the role in an Open roles collection.
  2. Send LinkedIn posts from people in the role, highlight comparable job ads, and save your AI research on skills and pay ranges.
  3. Ask for the must-have skills and the common titles, each cited.
  4. Draft the job description from the notebook, then edit it yourself.

Build the interview kit

Questions, a scorecard and a brief for the panel.

  1. Save prompts for interview questions, scorecards and take-home briefs in the Prompts library.
  2. Open the role’s notebook and insert them from the Prompts button.
  3. Turn your scorecard into a note template with {{role}} and {{level}} placeholders.
  4. Export the kit as PDF for the interview panel.

  2. Generate an Audio Overview and a study guide, in the new hire’s language if you like.
  3. Download the audio and share it with the new hire.
  4. Set a rule: tag a notebook #onboarding and its study guide starts generating.

What HR teams and recruiters ask

Something we missed? Ask us.

Can I add CVs and interview notes?

Only as your company’s privacy policy and the data-protection law that applies to you allow. Kortex sends what you import to Gemini Notebook in your own Google account and doesn’t keep your chats or the contents of your sources. See is Gemini Notebook safe and private?

Does Kortex connect to our ATS or HR system?

No. Kortex works with Gemini Notebook, Google Docs and pages you open in Chrome. It has no integration with applicant tracking or HR systems.

Can employees ask the handbook notebook directly?

If your company allows it, share the notebook from Gemini Notebook and they can ask it themselves. Kortex doesn’t change who can see a notebook.

Can I save LinkedIn posts?

Yes. A Kortex button on LinkedIn posts sends them to a notebook with the author. On other pages, highlight the text you need and right-click to send it.

Start with the handbook.

Add Kortex to Chrome and send your handbook from Google Docs to a notebook.
