Short answer: Jordan Metzner says most of the team uses Ntrvsta inside their applicant tracking system; it integrates with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and Salesforce. Assessments come from an uploaded or ATS job description or manual entry, with optional whiteboard mode.
From Episode 6: From Avatar to AI Hire: Building NTRVSTA, starting at 14:40.
Sam Nadler [14:40]: Cool. I wanted you actually to, if you don't mind, show me how an assessment is created via the exam engine.
Jordan Metzner [14:46]: Yeah. Well, one thing I think before we jump into that, obviously, Ntrvsta has a really nice interface here, but most of our team actually uses it with a direct integration into their applicant tracking system. So, at Ryz Labs, we use Lever as our applicant tracking system, but Ntrvsta actually integrates with a bunch of different ATS and CRM tools. So, whether you're using Greenhouse or Lever or Ashby or, Workday or even, Salesforce or something like that, you can directly integrate Ntrvsta into those tools so that, Ntrvsta becomes kind of a secondary view, and you can continue to maintain your applicant flow and move candidates through the funnel. And that's what we found has worked best for us internally as well. So, you can simply upload a job description right here. Like I mentioned, you can also leverage job descriptions that are built inside your a inside of your ATS or CRM, so we can pull those automatically as well. And then you can also do manual entry by, entering the name of an assessment and filling out some information like job description, topics to cover any specific questions or any type of certain instructions. And then we also allow the ability to turn on the whiteboard mode. So, we can decide whether or not an interview deserves a whiteboard or not, and we can turn that mode on.
Jordan Metzner [16:03]: And then once you do that, that'll create an assessment, and then you can immediately start sending that assessment out to different candidates just like I showed you previously with the dermatologist.
Sam Nadler [16:11]: Yeah. And not only will it create an assessment immediately, you can then once it creates the assessment, if something doesn't feel right, you can go in and edit it to finalize it, or you can just ship it as is. So it's a great little feature there.
Jordan Metzner [16:23]: Yeah. That's right. You can here look at the assessment, and you can make edits to the assessment. And, not to spend too much time on the product itself, but obviously, it's got user management. It's got, dashboards and analytics and a lot of other features that probably be too boring to talk about on a podcast, but, it is a fully feature rich product and allows organizations to understand what's happening within the organization when these interviews are taking place.
