Lavalier Launches Skills Matrix to Visually Map Candidate Experience to Role Requirements SAN FRANCISCO--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Textio today launched Skills Matrix, a new feature in Lavalier, a comprehensive interview intelligence platform, that visually maps what candidates shared in their interviews to the specific requirements of the role. Instead of reconciling transcripts, scattered notes and feedback, Skills Matrix organizes interview evidence against the competencies that matter, so teams can see at a glance where a candidate has experience and where signals are thin.

“Most AI interview tools just want to score candidates and tell you who to hire. We think that's backwards,” said Colleen Gallagher, CEO of Textio. “The job of interview intelligence isn't to replace the hiring team’s judgment, it's to give that judgment something real to stand on. Skills Matrix shows you the evidence, organized against what the role actually requires and where the evidence is thin. That's how you make a confident decision instead of a confident guess.”

When hiring teams explicitly document assessment of candidate performance against job-related capabilities, research has shown the eventual hire performs better on the job. High-quality interview documentation predicts on-the-job performance, but it goes even further. Candidates who are hired based on high-quality, documented interview assessments are also more likely to be in the organization three years later. In other words, when hiring teams document clear skills assessments, they make better hires.

Skills Matrix automatically documents candidate performance against job-related capabilities as interviews are completed. It visually surfaces evidence, but it doesn't hand down hiring decisions. It shows hiring teams exactly what the candidate said, mapped to role requirements, with a clear read on whether there's enough evidence to make a confident decision.
