question

Which candidate, against criteria you wrote first?

A hire is a decision with a long tail: ramp time, team load, and the cost of being wrong. Scoring after you already like someone is not scoring.

Argumont is decision support. It does not replace employment law advice or your hiring process obligations.

What goes wrong

Criteria appear after the interviews. Culture fit becomes a synonym for familiarity. Urgency makes the second-best candidate look like a crisis if you wait.

Work-sample evidence beats vibe. If you did not collect it, say so in the record instead of inventing a score.

How Argumont treats it

Candidates are options. Criteria should be set before interviews close. Bias does not vanish, but an inspectable score makes it harder to hide.
