What HR receives after assessing its candidates

When you assess your candidates with Kokoro, you receive a readable report that compares people with common criteria and helps you prepare the interview. This is what it includes.

Assessing candidates only pays off if what you get at the end is clear and actionable. One of the first questions any HR team asks is fair: “what do I get after assessing? Will I understand it?”. Here’s the answer.

From the resume pile to a comparable report

Before assessing, you have a stack of resumes that are hard to compare with each other. After assessing, you have an ordered view: each candidate measured against the same criteria for the role, with their results by competency and an overall role fit indicator.

What the report includes

  • Results by competency. How well each candidate responds on the competencies relevant to the role.
  • A role fit signal. An indicator that summarizes how the person fits the role profile, always accompanied by an explanation of what it means.
  • Comparison against common criteria. Candidates are placed against the same standard, not against different criteria depending on who reviews them.
  • Interview notes. Concrete points to dig into during the conversation, based on what the assessment showed.

Full, executive, or exportable report

Not everyone on the team needs the same level of detail. That’s why the report can be viewed in different formats: a full view for whoever assesses in depth, an executive view for whoever only needs the summary, and an export to work with it outside the platform.

How to use it to decide and to prepare the interview

The report has two uses. First, deciding who to interview: you order candidates by role fit and focus your time on the most promising ones. Second, preparing the interview: you arrive with questions aimed at what the evidence showed, instead of improvising.

In short

What HR gets after assessing is a report built for deciding: readable without technical training, comparable across candidates, and useful for preparing the interview. It doesn’t replace your judgment; it backs it with evidence.
