Evaluation Guide

This section is a structured checklist based on the directory tags and era. It does not assume features—use it to verify capabilities with demos, docs, and a pilot.

Baseline Checklist

• Define primary use cases and who will use the product day-to-day.
• Validate end-to-end workflow fit (data in → decisions/actions → reporting).
• Confirm integrations (ATS/HRIS, calendar, email, SSO) and data sync details.
• Review permissions, audit logs, and governance for hiring-sensitive actions.
• Measure impact with a pilot and agreed success metrics (speed, quality, experience).

Era Context

• Expect workflow priorities: collaboration, integrations, and operational automation across recruiting teams.
• Use the tag checklists below to validate product-specific requirements for your stack.

Tag Checklists

Assessment

• Verify assessment validity, reliability, and job relevance for your roles.
• Check proctoring options, anti-cheating measures, and accommodation support.
• Confirm score interpretation, cutoffs, and how results flow into hiring workflows.
• Review adverse impact monitoring and candidate communication requirements.

Psychometric

• Validate scientific backing and fit to job families before deployment.
• Check accommodations, localization, and candidate accessibility.
• Confirm interpretation guidance to avoid misuse in hiring decisions.
• Monitor adverse impact and ensure consistent use across roles.

AI

• Separate AI-assisted suggestions from deterministic rules and document both paths.
• Ask what data is used to produce outputs and whether your data is used for training.
• Validate output quality on your own historical datasets with agreed success metrics.
• Review bias, explainability, and compliance controls appropriate for hiring decisions.
• Confirm admin controls for prompts, templates, and model behavior updates.
