The candidate has completed the assessment. The hiring manager still has a question. The recruiter is trying to arrange the next conversation without asking everyone to start again. A good hiring workflow makes that handoff easier.

These guides focus on the decisions behind the process: what to assess, how to interpret the evidence, where automation helps, and how to keep the team connected. Each guide offers a worked example and an editable companion. The examples are illustrative, not customer case studies.

01 / FINDStart with a question.Choose the guide closest to the decision your team faces.
02 / TRYExplore the example.Use the animation or interactive tool to make the tradeoff concrete.
03 / APPLYBring it to your team.Adapt the worksheet to your role and hiring workflow.

How these guides are prepared

LunaPrompts Editorial develops these guides from the product brief, available product documentation, and original assessment examples. External technical references are linked where used. Each article distinguishes a suggested review practice from a product capability and avoids treating an illustrative number as a customer result.

The intended reader is a hiring team making a practical decision. Suggested tasks and review frameworks need calibration for the actual role. A score, an automated recommendation, or a single session event should be interpreted with the relevant evidence and context.

Product setup, supported integrations, available environments, and scoped services should be confirmed for your account. For a concrete walkthrough, bring your hiring workflow to the LunaPrompts team.
