FeaturesInterview sheet
Run the process

Questions built from that candidate’s gaps.

A guide per stage with a rubric of anchors, signals to look for and red flags, plus up to four probes generated specifically from the concerns about the candidate you are about to interview.

The problem

Why this exists

How it works today

Each interviewer asks whatever comes to mind, scores on a scale only they understand, and writes three lines at the end. Comparing two candidates becomes comparing two opinions about different things.

How it works with EVO

Everyone asks from the same guide, with anchors that say what a weak, adequate and superior answer looks like, and the extra questions are the ones missing for that specific candidate.

How it works

Interview sheet from the inside

1The rubric

Concrete anchors, not a one-to-five scale in a vacuum.

For each question, the guide describes what characterizes a merely sufficient answer, a partial one and a superior one. The assessor recognizes the pattern instead of inventing a criterion.

The competencies come from the role’s map: mandatory requirements come in already approved; behavioral and contextual ones are suggested and you confirm them.

Tell me about a product decision you changed after talking to a user. What did you believe before, and what changed your mind?

PartialChanged the solution; did not change the understanding of the problem
SuperiorReframed the problem and shows the cost of having pushed on
🎯 Probe generated from this candidate's gaps

"Your assessment flags discovery without an impact metric. In the case you just described, what changed in the numbers afterwards?"

2The probes

What to ask because it is this candidate.

If their assessment flagged discovery without an impact metric, the probe asks exactly that. If a section of the test was weak, that section becomes a question.

There are up to four per sheet, in a neutral tone. They are not trick questions, they are the confirmation of what was left open.

A test section scoring below expectation becomes a probe automatically. What the test did not settle, the interview asks.

Below what the stage expects: becomes an interview probe, not a cut.

🎯 Becomes an interview probe

"Walk me through the most recent A/B test you designed: the hypothesis, the sample size, and what you decided when the result came back ambiguous."

Adjustments are audited. The score is informative: it never eliminates anyone on its own.

Under the hood

The question bank improves with use

Good questions are an asset. The product treats them as one.
