Key Features
Explore the powerful features meticulously designed within the SkillsPoint Interviewing Platform to address the complexities of modern talent acquisition and make your hiring process more predictable, equitable, and efficient.
Structured Interview Templates
Leverage a library of expertly crafted, role-specific templates based on proven competency models. Easily customize existing templates or build your own from scratch, ensuring every candidate for a specific role is asked the same relevant questions in the same sequence. This consistency is fundamental to reducing bias and comparing candidates apples-to-apples.
Objective Scoring & Evaluation
Eliminate subjective interpretations with clear, predefined scoring rubrics linked directly to each question or competency. Interviewers can rate candidate responses against specific criteria, supported by behavioural examples. This standardized scoring mechanism quantifies performance, making evaluation less prone to individual biases and easier to aggregate for a holistic view.
Collaborative Interviewer Notes
Enable interview teams to capture notes in real-time directly within the platform during the interview. These notes are tied to specific questions, promoting focus and structure. Post-interview, team members can easily share their notes and scores, facilitating informed debrief sessions and collective decision-making based on a complete picture.
Candidate Profile & History
Build a comprehensive, centralized repository for all candidate information. Access resumes, application details, interview notes, evaluation scores, and hiring pipeline status in one secure place. This historical data provides valuable context for current decisions and supports long-term talent pool management and internal mobility initiatives.
Reporting & Analytics
Gain invaluable insights into your entire talent acquisition funnel. Track key metrics such as time-to-hire, source effectiveness, interview stage conversion rates, interviewer performance, and assessment score distributions. Powerful dashboards and customizable reports empower you to identify bottlenecks, measure fairness, and continuously optimize your hiring strategy.
Integration Capabilities
Ensure a smooth workflow by connecting SkillsPoint seamlessly with your existing HR tech stack. Our platform offers robust APIs and pre-built connectors to popular Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS), and other recruitment tools, enabling data flow and eliminating manual data entry.
How the SkillsPoint Platform Works
Implementing a robust, structured interviewing process has never been easier. The SkillsPoint platform guides your team through a simple, intuitive workflow designed for maximum effectiveness and minimal disruption.
Define Your Criteria
Start by selecting or customizing an interview template within the platform. Clearly define the key skills, competencies, and behavioural indicators required for the specific role. Prepare standardized questions and assign specific scoring criteria upfront to ensure alignment across your hiring team.
Conduct Structured Interviews
Use the platform to conduct interviews. The structured format guides interviewers through the predetermined questions, ensuring consistency. The platform provides prompts for probing questions and areas to focus on, while allowing interviewers to capture detailed, relevant notes directly linked to the questions being asked, in real-time.
Evaluate & Score
Immediately after the interview, interviewers evaluate the candidate's responses against the predefined scoring criteria within the platform. This objective rating, supported by the notes taken during the interview, provides a quantitative measure of the candidate's performance against the required competencies for the role.
Collaborate & Decide
The platform aggregates the notes and scores from all interviewers for each candidate. The hiring team can then easily review and discuss the comprehensive feedback during a debrief session. This collaborative approach, grounded in objective data, enables faster, more informed, and ultimately better hiring decisions.
