#### 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

Expectations were not shared. The team frames them before collecting answers.
- Criteria are clarified with the manager

Candidates answer a short, useful format, without a personality test. The recruiter gets comparable answers without forcing people into boxes.
- A short questionnaire is sent to candidates

The dashboard highlights reasoning differences, signals worth probing, and candidate-team gaps. The review becomes easier to follow.
- Useful differences appear before the interview

The manager comes with a clear summary, targeted questions and key watch points. The final decision becomes easier to explain.
- The interview validates instead of starting from scratch

#### 3 Recruiter Use Cases
- Role framing with the manager

A shared scorecard to avoid criteria changing along the way.

Use it when the need is unclear, moving or depends too much on one manager.
- Pre-screening and interview

Targeted interview points without replacing recruiter judgment.

Use it when several candidates look equivalent on resumes.
- Candidate-team mirror questionnaire

Visualize expectation gaps and prepare onboarding topics.

Use it when the real role environment needs to be clarified before signature.

#### What Harmate is not

#### Is it a personality test?

No. You ask your own questions, and the analysis relies on candidates’ explicit answers.

#### Does Harmate automatically rank candidates?

No. Harmate does not automatically rank candidates or replace your decision. It organizes answers and visible criteria to prepare a reviewable comparison and interview.

#### Does it replace interviews?

No. Harmate prepares interviews, clarifies criteria and helps make better use of the conversation.

#### I am in a search firm. Can I share this with clients?

Yes. You can share a clear summary focused on criteria discussed with the client and the points to validate in interviews.

#### Is it long for candidates?

Not if you frame it well. You can keep a short format focused on the criteria that truly matter for the role.

#### GDPR and confidentiality?

Harmate is hosted in Europe with Infomaniak. Your data remains yours. See our commitments: /company/commitments.
