§ WORKFLOW / 03 · Results review & ranking

Read the cohort. Rank on the data.

Reviewing results well is its own discipline. The panel needs to see the cohort whole, drill into individuals without losing the frame, apply ranking criteria consistently, and leave a record of how the shortlist was built. ReadyFirst is shaped around that workflow.

// THE REVIEW BOTTLENECK

A panel that opens five PDFs, skims the score on page one of each, and debates from memory isn't reviewing the cohort — it's guessing about it. The right working surface is the difference between a thirty-minute meeting and a defensible call.

§ How the review runs From cohort view to logged shortlist

The review surface that turns scores into a ranked list.

  1. 01
    HR partner

    Confirm the cohort is complete

    When the round window closes — or when every candidate has finished — the cohort view becomes the panel's working surface. Late completions are flagged so the panel knows what's in scope and what isn't.

  2. 02
    Hiring panel

    Read the cohort view

    Every candidate appears on a single ranked screen with the same metrics presented the same way on each score. The panel sees the full distribution before drilling into any individual candidate.

  3. 03
    Hiring panel

    Drill into individual reports

    Click into a candidate to see the full multi-construct profile — performance across each cognitive domain and the response patterns each score was computed from. The number is never the whole story.

  4. 04
    Hiring panel

    Apply your ranking criteria

    Sort and filter on the metrics that matter for the role you're hiring. Cutoffs, weightings, and ranking rules are applied in the cohort view so every candidate is measured against the same line.

  5. 05
    HR + civil service

    Log the shortlist on the record

    Every report viewed, every filter applied, every shortlist exported is logged with the user, time, and outcome. The day a candidate or counsel asks how a decision was made, the answer is in the audit trail — not reconstructed from memory.
