The Research

Reduce bias with the same questions and the same scoring

Decades of research say the same thing: unstructured interviews predict job performance at less than half the rate of structured ones, and structured interviews produce among the smallest group differences of any top hiring method (Sackett et al., 2022).

Most Companies

Unstructured Interviews

When it comes to predicting job success, unstructured interviews land at less than half the rate of structured ones.

  • Focus on vibes, not skills
  • Lack consistency, especially across larger teams
  • Reward good talkers and hitting it off

“Ratio eliminated an entire step in the interview process and resulted in multiple candidates at the offer stage. The hiring model gave us incredible clarity and saved us hours of time. And the quality of the candidates that made it to the interview stage was the best we've seen. We went into the final interviews with 100% confidence.”
