If you’ve relied on SHL’s Interview Builder and are now weighing alternatives, you’re not alone. Many teams want a purpose-built interviewing platform that doesn’t just standardise questions, but helps you run better, fairer, data-driven interviews end-to-end.

Evidenced is the solution you’ve been looking for.

Why Teams Choose Evidenced Over SHL Interview Tools

Interview Templates That Aren't Just Word Docs

Unlike basic templates, Evidenced's templates are embedded into the interview itself.

This means interviewers are supported throughout the process with:

  • Live question prompting as they work through your templates, so staying on track is easy.

  • GDPR compliant video recording, live transcription, and automatic note taking - so they can focus on the candidate and the questions.

  • Bookmarks and flagging so they can easily capture key moments for later analysis.

Where SHL’s Interview Builder may focus on structured guides and analytics, Evidenced bridges the gap between planning interviews and actually executing them.

Deep Insights Across Interviewers & Experiences

Evidenced helps you understand why hiring decisions are made, by providing talent leaders with the tools to:

  • Identify interviewers who need more training or are deviating from your process.

  • Monitor candidate experience with post-interview feedback surveys.

  • See where your interview process is strong - and where it needs refinement.

This goes beyond SHL’s focus on analytics, to give you actionable insights that improve your hiring outcomes continuously.
