Every finished interview, best fit first, the key checks beside each name
Sixty interviews become a list you can read top to bottom: who passed the key checks, how well each one answered, and the reason each score is what it is.
Ranking in Alert Hire orders every candidate who finished the interview by fit score, per job and across all of them. The score comes from how the answers met what the role needs, and, when the job has a CV screen, from the CV too. The key checks sit beside each name, and anyone who failed a must-have sorts to the bottom of the Interviews inbox and is flagged in red on the job's own list. Every candidate stays on the list: a low rank is a reading order, not a rejection.
The list
What you open in the morning
Everyone who finished the interview, ordered by fit. The key checks are the first thing on each row: all passed, or which one did not. A must-have that did not pass drops the candidate to the bottom of the Interviews inbox, where you can still read them.
Click a name for the report: the key checks and what they answered, a short summary, and every score with the line from their answer that earned it.
How the order is built
Three things decide where someone sits
The key checks
Right to work, notice, location, salary: each marked against the answer you said passes. They do not change the score; a must-have that did not pass moves the candidate to the bottom of the Interviews inbox and says why. How the interview works.
The interview score
Each answer is marked against what the role needs, weighted the way you set it (must have, important, nice to have), and every mark quotes the candidate’s own words.
The CV, if you screen it
With a CV screen on the job, the fit score blends the interview with the CV: interview-led by default, balanced or CV-led if you choose. The optional CV screen.
What ranking is not
Ranking low does not mean rejected
Nobody is rejected by being ranked low. The list is everyone who finished, the score is a starting point, and the reasoning is there so you can overrule it.
A job keeps the version of its questions it was set up with, so the report on each candidate shows what they were asked, what they said, and how it was marked, months later.
Always you. Alert Hire never sends an outcome to a candidate unless you do it yourself.
Shown on the row and in the report with the candidate’s answer, and sorted to the bottom of the Interviews inbox. Never a rejection on its own.
Interview-led, balanced or CV-led, set per template, when the job has a CV screen.
Open the report: the questions as they were, the answers, the marks with their quotes, and the summary.
Questions about the ranking
Bullhorn’s GRID 2026 report found APAC agencies using AI anywhere in the process were three to five times more likely to have grown revenue than lost it. The general list of questions is on the home page. Anything else: admin@alertai.com.au.
From the interview: each answer is marked against what the role needs and weighted the way you set it. When the job also has a CV screen, the CV score is blended in, interview-led by default. The report shows both, so you can see a strong CV that interviewed poorly and the other way round.
No. They are facts, marked pass or fail against the answer you set, and shown beside the score rather than folded into it. A must-have that did not pass moves the candidate to the bottom of the Interviews inbox, where you can still read them and decide.
Yes. The order only suggests who to read first, so you can open, shortlist or call anyone on it in any order.
Open the candidate. The questions they were asked, their answers, the key checks, the marks with the quotes behind them and the summary are kept together, so you can answer “why was this person fourth” from the record instead of from memory.
