Built for how people actually work
Every feature is designed to produce valid SFIA evidence while giving candidates the best possible experience.
AI-Powered Conversational Assessment
Claude conducts structured interviews using the STAR method, adapting questions in real-time based on candidate responses. No question banks — every interview is unique to the role, level, and candidate.
STAR method questioning — Situation, Task, Action, Result — automatically structured by AI
Adaptive follow-ups that probe for depth when initial answers are vague or incomplete
Voice input support — candidates can speak their responses with real-time transcription
Real-time evidence extraction — skills, attributes, and levels identified as the conversation flows
4 Assessment Modes
Not everyone interviews the same way. Capable offers four distinct assessment formats, each producing valid SFIA evidence. Choose the mode that lets your candidate demonstrate their true capability.
Conversational — Real-time AI chat with adaptive questioning. Best for candidates who thrive in dialogue.
Async Written — Questions delivered in batches. Candidates respond at their own pace over hours or days.
Structured Q&A — All questions visible upfront. Complete in any order. No surprises, no time pressure.
Portfolio-Based — Upload work samples and reflect on them. Evidence drawn from actual work, not hypotheticals.
Shadow Mode & Nudge System
Observe live interviews without the candidate knowing you're there. Guide the AI mid-interview with invisible nudges. Track evidence being extracted in real-time — all with sub-100ms latency.
Real-time shadow observation — watch the interview unfold live as messages stream in
Invisible nudges — guide the AI to probe deeper, ask for examples, or switch skills without the candidate seeing
Live evidence tracker — see skill levels and confidence scores update as the conversation progresses
Multiple assessors can shadow the same interview simultaneously for calibration
Evidence-Based Reports
Every skill rating is backed by specific candidate quotes and behavioural evidence. Reports are strength-first — leading with what candidates can do, then identifying growth opportunities.
Cited evidence — every recommendation links to specific responses and quotes from the interview
Strength-first structure — capabilities and strengths prominently featured before development areas
Spiky profile recognition — uneven skill levels reported as distinctive capability, not deficit
