Overview and Core Hiring Workflow
This article provides an overview of the platform’s core hiring workflow, including how positions, scorecards, and candidates work together to support structured evaluations.
Background
Our platform is designed as a centralized workspace for managing hiring activities in a structured and outcome-driven way. Rather than treating hiring as a series of disconnected tasks, the system organizes work around defined roles, evaluation criteria, and candidates.
Platform Layout and Navigation
The platform uses a left-hand navigation model that mirrors the hiring lifecycle. From the main landing page, users can access all primary objects involved in hiring.
The navigation is structured to support a logical progression:
-
Create and manage positions
-
Define evaluation criteria for each position
-
Add and review candidates
-
Initiate interviews and assessments
The landing page serves as a starting point and will continue to evolve to surface helpful information, shortcuts, and status indicators over time.
Positions
A Position is the foundation of the hiring workflow. It represents the role being filled and acts as the anchor for all related activity.
Creating a position is the first step in the process. Once a position exists, it can be associated with evaluation criteria and candidates. This ensures that every assessment and interview is tied back to a clearly defined role.
Positions allow teams to:
-
Maintain consistent role definitions
-
Align evaluation criteria to specific job requirements
-
Track hiring progress at the role level
Scorecards
Scorecards define how candidates are evaluated for a specific position. They capture the criteria, competencies, or attributes that matter most for success in the role.
Scorecards are always associated with a position. This enforces structure and prevents evaluations from being created in isolation.
Using scorecards enables teams to:
-
Standardize evaluation across interviewers
-
Reduce subjective or inconsistent feedback
-
Compare candidates using the same criteria
Once created, a scorecard can be reused for multiple candidates tied to the same position.
Candidates
Candidates are individuals being evaluated for a position. Candidates are added after a position and scorecard are in place, ensuring that evaluation begins with clear expectations.
Within a candidate profile, users can review details, track progress, and initiate interviews or assessments.
Candidate profiles serve as the single source of truth for:
-
Evaluation results
-
Interview activity
-
Status within the hiring process
Interviews and Assessments
From within a candidate profile, users can initiate interviews using the available interview tools. The video highlights two interview initiation options represented by distinct icons.
These options allow users to:
-
Start an automated interview flow
-
Launch an assisted interview experience
Both options are designed to work within the same structured framework, ensuring results remain tied to the position and scorecard.
