Any number of Position Profiles and Interview Guides can be created using the Program©.


Prepare Interview Guides

Create Interview Guides that reflect the requirements of a specific job competition or posting.

Create both automated and paper versions of the Interview Guides for each candidate. Lists of candidates, organized according to job competitions, are maintained within the Program©.

Analyze Interview Results

Once the interviews are complete, you can enter the ratings for each candidate to generate both Individual and Group Reports indicating the scores given by the interviewers. These reports provide valuable information to be used during the debriefing session. Although the scores are not intended to be the only criteria used to make hire and no-hire decisions, they serve as excellent templates for discussion.
