What’s included
Most hiring teams run interviews on instinct. Every interviewer asks different questions and scores against a different bar, and the hire ends up being the person who interviewed best, not the person who actually can do the job.
We'll build a custom interview guide for every role you need help with, calibrated to what success actually looks like in your company. Your team runs structured interviews with the right questions, scores against the same rubric, and makes the final call based on data instead of gut feel.
This is especially important for complex roles or roles you've never hired for before. That's where a bad call costs the most, and where your team has the least pattern recognition to lean on.
Custom Interview Guide
A structured guide built for each role, with the exact questions to ask competency by competency, the follow-ups to probe with, and the red flags to watch for. Calibrated upfront with the hiring manager so it reflects what good actually looks like in your company.
Scoring Rubrics
A clear scoring framework per competency, with what Excellent, Strong, Average, and Below answers actually sound like. Every interviewer scores against the same standard, so the post-interview debrief is about the candidate, not whose bar is higher.
Interviewer Briefs & Scorecards
A short brief per interviewer with assigned competencies, owned questions, and time allocation. Side by side candidate scorecards that consolidate every interviewer's input into one view, so the final call is based on data, not who you spoke to last.
What Good Sounds Like
For complex or technical roles, we go a level deeper. We document what a genuinely strong answer looks like. What to listen for, what a bluff sounds like, what follow-up questions to ask, so your team knows the difference, even if they have never hired for this role before.
Decision Framework
A simple rubric for the final call. When to say yes, when to say no, and how to handle it when the data says one thing and the gut says another. Plus a debrief format you run after the final round, so your team walks into the decision call aligned on what the data is actually telling you.
