Your intentIndividual conversationsEvidence
01 / A shared standard

Assess the experience the role actually needs.

Your brief gives aikho the role requirements and your deal-breakers. When you publish, aikho prepares how those requirements will be rated and an interview plan to explore them. You can read the plan at any time.

Each requirement receives a rating supported by the conversation. The candidate’s answers stay available, so your team can see what the assessment is based on. A rating is an interpretation of the evidence against the role; it is not independent verification of the candidate’s account.

02 / The limits are visible

Not asked does not mean not capable.

An interview may not explore every topic far enough. Where something did not come up, aikho says so. Missing evidence is not a failed requirement, and an unanswered question is not a negative answer.

That distinction matters when deciding what to do next. A gap might be something your team wants to explore in a later conversation. The report helps you distinguish what the interview established from what still needs checking.

03 / The overall picture

Start with the interview. Keep the context.

The interview carries most of the weight in the overall view. The CV adds career background when available. Your team can read the supporting answers and print the report, rather than relying on a single result without context.

An overall view and one requirement’s rating describe different things. The stored demo below shows one skill, not a candidate’s complete assessment. The site presents the band word on its own and does not publish a numerical scale, threshold or weighting.

04 / Suggestions, then judgement

Know whom to meet. Decide for yourself.

aikho suggests the strongest candidates it has enough evidence on. The suggestions follow defined scoring rules. They help your team choose where to look; they do not make the hiring decision.

Your team decides whom to shortlist and hire. Read the evidence, explore the gaps and arrange your own conversations where needed. Before hiring, check the claims that matter through references or other appropriate checks.

05 / Two different kinds of automation

An established failure is different from a low score.

A requirement rule may decline an application when a CV or interview assessment establishes that one of your hard requirements is not met. Missing or uncertain information alone does not establish a failure.

Separately, employers can enable automatic closure of low-scoring applications after a quiet period. This is off by default. It requires a usable score, sufficient interview information and no recorded failure in assessment processing. These conditions do not replace the human decision about whom to shortlist and hire.

Could you tell me about a specific time at Northstar where you had to make a tough call on how much analytical precision was needed versus moving quickly with the product squad?

Alex, demo candidate

I paused the rollout. The apparent improvement was partly a change in who signed up.… I explained that uncertainty to the product lead and proposed a randomized test.… That cost a week, but avoided rolling out on misleading evidence.

Judgement under pressureExceeds

Held strict analytical integrity against high-stakes launch pressure without stalling squad momentum. Formulated bounded risk decisions… and staged rollouts rather than demanding absolute certainty or conceding to misleading metrics.

A closer look

Your questions.

Can we read the evidence behind a rating?

Yes. The assessment connects the rating of a requirement to the candidate’s answers. Your team can read the conversation and review a printable report. The words are evidence of what the person said; they are not independent verification that every claim is true.

What happens when a topic did not come up?

aikho reports the missing information. It does not count a topic that was not explored as a failed requirement. Your team can use that gap to decide what to ask next, rather than assuming an absence of evidence means an absence of ability.

Does aikho decide who gets hired?

Your team decides whom to shortlist and hire. aikho assesses against the role and makes suggestions using defined scoring rules. Requirement-based declines and optional low-score closure are separate actions with their own conditions. Neither action means aikho makes the final hiring decision.

Can aikho spot a convincing false story?

It does not spot lying. A convincing story that holds up under questioning sounds convincing. Follow-up questions explore the account, but do not independently verify it. Check references before you hire, as you always would.

Can we share the report with our team?

The product provides a printable report and the supporting conversation for review. Use those together when discussing a candidate. One rating should be read as an assessment of a requirement against the role, with the evidence and any missing information alongside it.
