For Hiring Managers

You already know what a great hire looks like. Now every interviewer does too.

You write the definition once the skills, what matters most, what “strong” actually means for this role. S9 InnerView keeps every interviewer downstream reading from that same copy. Nobody’s quietly writing their own version halfway through the search.

The Standard Carries Your Name

Before this, every interviewer quietly wrote their own version of “what we’re looking for” nobody assigned that job to them, it just happened, round after round, because nobody had written it down first.

Now there’s one document, and it’s yours.

When Candidate A gets the offer over Candidate B, the reasoning already exists. Nobody has to reconstruct it from memory.

The Final Decision Stays Yours

S9 InnerView organizes the evidence and shows its work it doesn’t hire anyone. The definition is yours. The call is yours. Everything in between just makes sure nobody’s working from a different draft than you wrote.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, and changes apply going forward. Interviews already scored against the prior version stay as they were, so you can see exactly what changed and when.

A scorecard against the skills you defined, evidence quotes tied to each score, and a transcript, all in the structure you set, not a generic template.

No. It's there if you want to start from a proven library, but you can define skills entirely in your own words instead.

Write it once. Let everyone downstream read from your copy.
