Candidate review

Turn a broad claim into a question worth asking.

A role request and a candidate profile rarely arrive in the same language. Talent Forge helps reviewers connect the requirement to supplied material, identify what needs clarification and prepare a focused interview. The assessment record preserves the human judgment behind the candidate's next step.

Illustrative platform view
An illustrative review connects a staffing requirement to supplied profile text and interview questions. A source mention is not a verified skill; interviewers retain the assessment decision.

Human assessment

Role brief

Resolve the request before evaluating the person.

The request reader proposes role, seniority, location, timing and requirement fields from supplied text. Source locations make it possible to resolve conflicting details before the recruiter carries the brief forward.

  • Missing and conflicting fields become explicit items to confirm.
  • Must-have requirements and process notes retain their source context.
  • Permission to share candidate material and private readiness checks stay part of the submission discussion.

  2. Inspect the supplied materialSource-linked document review

    Compare role requirements with supplied profile text and technical excerpts. See exact phrase locations and keep absent source material visible for follow-up.

  3. Prepare the interviewFocused interview questions

    Turn uncertain claims into questions about work personally delivered, technical decisions and examples a reviewer can inspect. Keep each prompt connected to the requirement it addresses.

  4. Record the human assessmentInterview and decision record

    Capture interviewer ratings, notes and the reason for a disposition in the protected workspace. Keep recorded panel feedback and the decision available together.

What the work produces.

Staffing brief

Reviewed role details, must-have requirements, process notes and the remaining items to confirm before candidate submission.

Document review brief

Supplied text excerpts with source locations, requirement mentions and interview prompts for a reviewer to pursue.

Interview record

Recorded ratings, reviewer notes, the disposition and its rationale, retained within the authorized candidate workspace.

A phrase in a profile is a starting point for assessment. Skills, identity, availability and permission to submit a candidate each require their own confirmation.

In practice · illustrative scenario

Clarify ownership behind a strong technical profile.

A recruiter is reviewing a candidate for a senior engineering role. The profile names relevant technologies, but the supplied excerpts do not yet establish which production decisions the candidate personally owned.

  1. 01

    Anchor the requirement

    Confirm the role's required work and compare it with the supplied profile and technical material.

  2. 02

    Prepare a focused question

    Ask the candidate to explain a decision they made, the work they delivered and the evidence a technical reviewer can examine.

  3. 03

    Record the assessment

    Interviewers record their own ratings and notes before the panel reviews differences and retains a reasoned disposition.

The useful outcome

The illustrative output is a focused interview and assessment record, with the candidate's claims, supporting material and remaining questions available together.

A closer look

Know what you can do with Talent Forge.

Does a profile mention establish a skill?

It establishes that the supplied material contains the claim. Reviewers use relevant excerpts, interview answers and inspectable work to assess capability and personal contribution. The next question should address the evidence the requirement actually needs.

Can we bring material from our recruiting systems?

Start with the supplied role and candidate material and agree the permitted intake or integration path for your workspace. Source access, consent and submission authority are established for that path; the illustrative review workbench uses authored examples.

What stays with the interview decision?

The recorded ratings, reviewer notes and reason for the disposition in the authorized workspace. Blind-first assessment supports independent input before panel discussion, and the record makes the feedback behind the decision available for later review.
