Certified Structured Interview Evaluator™


Build confident, consistent hiring decisions using industry gold-standard structured interview methods, reinforced through realistic practice with People Practice Simulations™.

Designed for interviewers who conduct interviews regularly, but have never been formally trained in structured interviewing or candidate evaluation.

Critical Challenges Facing Hiring Teams:

Most interviewers learn how to interview from Google, a previous boss, or trial and error, leading to common challenges:

  • Subjective and inconsistent hiring decisions increase risk, cost, and turnover
  • Interview questions that generate discussion, not usable evidence
  • No clear framework for post-interview evaluation
  • Difficulty comparing candidates with confidence
  • Overreliance on gut feel, first impressions, or “vibe”

PREDICTIVE HIRING STARTS WITH STRUCTURED EVALUATION

The Certified Structured Interview Evaluator™ is a practice-driven certification focused on how interview decisions are actually made.

Structured interviews are the gold standard for predictive hiring, but asking good questions isn’t enough. Reliable hiring depends on how candidate responses are evaluated.

Participants learn to apply the SCORE™ structured interview framework, then spend the majority of the course practicing evaluation using human-led avatar simulations.
