What Harmate brings recruiters
A simple workflow to clarify criteria, collect answers, compare them and share a better argued decision.
Clarified Role Criteria
Implicit expectations become criteria the team can review and discuss.
More Useful Pre-Screening
Candidates answer short questions tied to the role and comparable with each other.
More Reviewable Comparison
The decision relies on a clear scorecard and targeted interview points for the team to validate.
Better Prepared Onboarding
Candidate-team gaps become topics to verify before signature.
Example: Compare Applications Without Losing Context
Criteria are clarified with the manager
Expectations were not shared. The team frames them before collecting answers.
A short questionnaire is sent to candidates
Candidates answer a short, useful format, without a personality test. The recruiter gets comparable answers without forcing people into boxes.
Useful differences appear before the interview
The dashboard highlights reasoning differences, signals worth probing, and candidate-team gaps. The review becomes easier to follow.
The interview validates instead of starting from scratch
The manager comes with a clear summary, targeted questions and key watch points. The final decision becomes easier to explain.
