I think providing more information on the questions for Candidate 2 would be pretty helpful. The description is really vague as "easy" and "hard" could mean different things to different people.

That makes sense. Will reach out to the interviewer to get a more detailed feedback. We also share the full code + questions as part of the full evaluation. Would you be interested in interviewing the candidate as a function of this evaluation? Is the interviewer identity important?

If a recording of the interview could be provided I think that would be best.

I think gathering enough trust where people start accepting these dossiers as fact will take a long time unfortunately. But if you have a recording of the interview, I would be able to say a lot more definitively whether I liked the candidate or not. And as my opinions aligned with your dossiers, I'd trust your opinions more.

We have thought quite a bit about this and decided not to go down this route because we weren't sure if hiring managers would actually have the time to listen to a 1-hour conversation. Also, would it help if the identity of the candidate (resume data) and the interviewer's profile is available (so that it's more credible)?

I second this! But also because an audio recording is more personal information to go off of.
