Compare the class on one frame.
When you're hiring a class — six recruits, twelve, the whole next academy intake — comparison only works if every candidate ran the same instrument under the same conditions. ReadyFirst handles a hiring round as a single cohort so the comparison rests on shared data, not on what each interviewer happens to recall.
Most agencies run a hiring class as a sequence of one-off evaluations, then try to reconcile the data at the end. By the time the panel sits down, candidates have been measured on slightly different instruments in slightly different conditions — and the comparison stops being like-for-like.
The hiring round as a single, scoped object.

Open a hiring round
A hiring round is a named cohort with its own start window, deadline, and applicant list. Every candidate added to the round runs the same battery and lands on the same comparison frame — no mixing rounds in the same view.
- 02HR partner
Bulk-invite the cohort
Upload the applicant list or paste from your ATS export. Every candidate in the round gets a personalized link in the same window so the assessment context stays consistent across the cohort.
- 03Cohort
Candidates complete the assessment
Each candidate takes the assessment in their own browser, on their own time within the round window. Practice rounds and server-side scoring are identical for every candidate in the cohort.
- 04Hiring panel
Open the cohort view
Every candidate in the round appears on a single ranked screen with the same metrics and the same score scale. The hiring panel deliberates from one frame, not from twenty PDFs assembled by hand.

Close the round on the record
Closing a round freezes its data: applicant list, scores, who saw what, decisions made. The next round is a separate cohort with its own record. Year-over-year comparisons are still possible, but no round's data quietly drifts into another's.
