Purpose

A guided, business-first questionnaire captures how your organization hires. Your answers become the agreed configuration baseline, no technical knowledge required.

The three setup areas

Foundation

Company structure and role expectations.

Operations

How evaluations run and are scored.

Governance

Access, privacy, compliance, and oversight.

Who should be in the room

Talent / Hiring Lead

Owns the hiring process and role definitions.

Hiring Managers

Define what strong performance looks like per role.

HR Operations

Own the pipeline and candidate communication.

Compliance / Legal / Privacy

Confirm frameworks, retention, and consent.

IT / Security

Own access, integrations, and data residency.

Executive Sponsor

Approves and signs off the baseline.

How answering works

1

Answer in business language

You describe how you hire; Exterview translates it into the platform. No schemas, no code.
2

Use defaults where you're not ready

If a decision isn’t ready, Exterview applies sensible defaults you can revisit later.
3

Review and sign off

Nothing is final until sign-off. Once signed, setup becomes the agreed configuration baseline.
Material changes after sign-off should be reviewed and approved before use. Changes that affect scoring re-baseline to a new version so results stay reproducible.
