Plan builder

Build the plan, block by block.

Lay out timed sections, set per-question timing, and add variants so two panelists can ask different versions of the same question.

  • Sections with a live time-allocation bar
  • Per-question timing that keeps rounds honest
  • Question variants per section

Question bank

A bank that knows what works.

Every question carries difficulty, a Bloom's-taxonomy level, tags, and an effectiveness score that shows which questions actually predict strong hires.

  • Difficulty and Bloom's-taxonomy level
  • Skill, role, and topic tags
  • Effectiveness score from real outcomes

AI generation

  • Scientific: taxonomy-aware and balanced
  • From a JD: paste and draft
  • Quick: a single round in seconds

Good to know

Questions, answered plainly.

Always. The draft is a starting point: add questions from the bank, reorder sections, adjust per-question timing, or swap anything before you share it with the panel.

It correlates how candidates scored on a question against how those hires later performed, so you keep the questions that predict strong hires and retire the ones that don't.

Scientific balances difficulty using Bloom's taxonomy, From a JD drafts against a pasted job description, and Quick produces a fast single-round draft. Each costs 1 credit.
