Why We Built Our IT Interview Planner

Unstructured IT interviews could cost you top talent and time. Discover how a clear, consistent process ensures smarter, faster hiring decisions.

Are Your IT Interviews Costing You Top Talent?

Let’s be honest—IT interviews can be chaotic. Hiring for tech roles often feels like juggling flaming torches while walking a tightrope. There are endless CVs to review, multiple stakeholders to align, and a constant pressure to make the right hire quickly. And yet, for all that effort, how often do you end up with a candidate who doesn’t quite meet expectations?

Here’s the thing: without a clear, structured process, IT interviews are more likely to waste time and, worse, scare off the best talent. That’s exactly why we created the IT interview planning tool—to bring clarity, structure, and speed to the hiring process. If you’re still winging it with your interviews, you might be missing out on the perfect hire.

The Problem With Unstructured IT Interviews

We’ve seen it all: companies losing brilliant candidates because their interview process felt disorganised or overly time-consuming. Unstructured IT interviews aren’t just inconvenient—they’re costly. Let’s break down why:

Lack of clarity: Without a structured plan, it’s easy to ask irrelevant questions or overlook key skills, leaving you unsure if the candidate is truly a fit.
Inconsistent evaluations: When interviewers aren’t aligned, one person’s “yes” might be another’s “maybe.” This leads to delayed decisions or costly hiring mistakes.
Lost candidates: The best tech talent is snapped up quickly. A slow, disjointed process can frustrate candidates and send them running to your competitors.

Sound familiar? If so, it’s time to rethink how you approach IT interviews.

Before We Built the IT Interview Planning Tool: The Chaos of Tech Hiring

Let’s take a moment to imagine life before we built our tool. Picture this:

Interview panels scrambling to review CVs minutes before the meeting.
Stakeholders asking wildly different questions, leaving candidates confused.
Crucial skills being overlooked because no one thought to test for them.

It’s not just frustrating—it’s ineffective. When interviews lack structure, you risk making decisions based on gut feelings rather than hard evidence. And in the ever-evolving tech world, where specific skills and cultural fit matter more than ever, that’s a dangerous approach.

We knew there had to be a better way. That’s why we set out to design a tool that would transform how IT interviews are planned and executed.
