When the assessment isn't enough: structured human evaluation

Two modes — Soft (inferred) and Technical (multi-evaluator) — combined with interview scorecards. For roles where the psychometric alone doesn't decide.

What it is

The competency evaluation module adds a layer of structured human evaluation on top of the fit score. In Soft mode, competencies are inferred from the psychometric assessment via an OCEAN + Values → competency mapping table. In Technical mode, several evaluators score the candidate with notes, the scores are averaged, and they're compared against the required level defined per role. The result is integrated with interview panel scorecards for a final auditable decision.

What you can do

Soft mode: competencies are inferred from the OCEAN + Values assessment via a mapping table — no extra work
Technical mode: multi-evaluator workflow with email invitations to internal or external evaluators
Per-evaluator average + notes, individual per-competency fit
Required level per role: each competency has a configurable threshold (role_competencies)
Combined with scorecards in interview panels — the result consolidates assessment + interviews
Per-application insights: gap between required level and observed level, development areas

How it works

1

You define competencies per role

For each role you mark which competencies matter and the required level (1-5). This inherits to every opening of that role.

2

You pick the mode

Soft: the app infers the score from OCEAN + Values (zero extra candidate effort). Technical: you invite evaluators who score with notes.

3

You consolidate the decision

The per-competency fit is combined with interview scorecards and the psychometric assessment into a single auditable overall fit.

Aspect Soft mode Technical mode
Score origin Inferred from OCEAN + Values Rated by human evaluators
Candidate effort Just the standard assessment The assessment + technical sessions
When to use it Soft competencies (communication, leadership) Technical or judgment-based competencies
Required level Configurable per role (role_competencies) Configurable per role (role_competencies)
Output Score 1-5 + gap vs. required Average + per-evaluator notes + gap

Who it's for

Technical hiring manager

You're not relying on the recruiter's word: you see structured evidence per competency, with required level vs. observed.

Interview panels

Consistent scorecards, multiple evaluators averaged, traceable notes per competency.

Functional leader

For roles where the psychometric assessment alone is not enough (engineering, technical finance, senior sales), structured human evaluation.
