# Hiring decisions deserve evidence

> Evidence-based hiring connects role criteria, structured interviews, candidate evidence, shared evaluation, and accountable human decisions.

## What evidence-based hiring means

Evidence-based hiring is a decision process that connects candidate evaluations to defined role criteria and reviewable evidence. It gives hiring teams a clearer basis for discussion than memory or general impressions alone.

## The evidence chain

1. Define the role criteria, questions, and evaluation guidance.
2. Conduct a structured, job-relevant candidate conversation.
3. Preserve the recording, transcript, and relevant response evidence.
4. Review findings against the same role context.
5. Keep accountable people responsible for the employment decision.

## Four operating principles

- Define the evidence before the interview.
- Keep the candidate conversation reviewable.
- Compare candidates against the same role.
- Treat scores and signals as inputs for human review.

## How JobHive supports the method

JobHive AI connects job-aware and resume-aware video interviews, dynamic follow-up questions, transcripts, structured scorecards, Evidence Map review, risk indicators, candidate comparison, and team hiring discussions.

## Human responsibility

Evidence informs a decision but does not own it. Reviewers need access to the underlying evidence, a way to add context or disagree, and clear responsibility for the final outcome.
