Structured assessments for every key role.
Most interviews are still unstructured conversations. Ratio gives you a consistent assessment system - skills, questions, and rubrics - for the roles that matter most.
Different interviewers ask different questions and score candidates on vague impressions. That noise makes it hard to compare people fairly or explain hiring decisions.
Structured interviews with standard questions and scoring criteria are 5x more predictive of performance, but they are hard to build. Ratio generates them from your job inputs in minutes.
You bring the people and context; Ratio brings the structure that makes good judgment consistent across every interviewer.
Inside a Ratio Assessment
Prioritized Skills
Must-have vs. nice-to-have with clear proficiency levels
Tailored Questions
One question per skill, matched to the best format
RATE Rubrics
Four-part scoring so interviewers know what to listen for
From vibes to shared evidence.
RATE gives every interviewer the same four lenses for every answer, with job-specific criteria tuned to your role.
The RATE Pattern
Relevance
Real systems, numbers, situations
Approach
How they actually do the work
Tension
Trade-offs and what made it hard
Evidence
Outcomes and what they would do differently
Each rubric line starts with a consistent lead-in, then adds role-specific details, so panels are aligned on what good looks like.
Senior Python Engineer owning production systems
“Your Python backend service is suddenly slow, users see timeouts, and nobody is sure why. Where do you start?”
RATE Rubric
- Name specifics:profiling tools, APM data, logging, system metrics
- Describe the method:isolate hot spots, trace requests, analyze resource use
- Weigh the trade-off:performance vs. quick fix, code complexity vs. speed
- Quantify the impact:latency drops, error rate reduction, load test results
People manager for a creative team
“Think of a time you had a direct report who was struggling to meet expectations and it hurt team output. How did you work through it?”
RATE Rubric
- Cite a real example:specific report, performance metrics, and team impact
- Show personal ownership:how they gave feedback and supported improvement
- Name the trade-off:being direct vs. preserving trust, support vs. accountability
- State the outcome:what changed and what they would do differently next time
The same RATE pattern works for behavioral, situational, and applied questions. The four letters stay stable; only the job-specific details change for each role.
Less noise, more hiring signal.
Ratio turns interviews into a repeatable assessment process - without adding headcount or burning out your best interviewers.
