It all starts with the Cipher®
You can’t get to where you need to be if you don’t know where you are going, and the same holds true for hiring. The Cipher clearly and concisely articulates what success looks like for any given role, defining the desired outcome and the deliverables needed to achieve it.
Charge
Why the role exists, in one sentence.
Outcome
What has visibly changed a year in, if the hire goes well.
Deliverables
The concrete things the person produces on the way.
Efforts
The behaviours and work rate those deliverables demand.
Get started in seconds
Upload an existing job description and we’ll take care of the first draft of your Cipher. Or use our guided Cipher creation tools to define the role if you are starting from scratch.
Collaborate with ease
Ask your colleagues for input and feedback to make your Cipher even stronger. They can easily leave comments and up-vote great ideas for inclusion in the final version.
Your “North Star”
You’ll use your new Cipher throughout your hiring process to source candidates, screen for potential and evaluate fit. It’s also a great roadmap for success and performance management.
Structured interviews, zero guesswork
HireBest gives every interviewer the same role-specific guide and the same written standard for evaluating evidence. The result is a consistent process from the first interview through the final decision.
Proven, customizable templates

Henry, our AI assistant, is with you throughout the hiring process. From Cipher creation to interview transcription, and from summaries of findings to new insights, Henry gives you the information you need to make the best, most informed hiring decisions.
Leverage our experience
The humans behind Henry have created countless Ciphers for roles at all levels across industries. Let Henry do the heavy lifting so you can focus on the final 5% to make it sing.
Let Henry take notes
With HireBest, you can transcribe your interviews, so you can stay in the moment and focused on listening, and still review the interview later.
Never forget the details
With Henry’s notes at your fingertips, you can find the evidence to support your ratings simply by asking.
Read the transcript
Can you actually trust what the AI tells you? Or is it just guessing, and sounding sure?
Open Ask Henry on a candidate… say Dana, up for Director of Operations. Before you ask anything, it tells you what it’s working from: her résumé, her four interviews, the panel’s notes. So ask it why she’s leaving her current job. Henry’s reading her record now… the transcripts of what she actually said, in all four interviews. And there’s the answer. Each point says which interview it came from, who she was talking to… and her own words. Now ask something nobody covered. What salary is she expecting? None of her interviews say. So Henry tells you it doesn’t have that… instead of making something up.
Henry answers only from the candidate’s own record… and names the interview behind each point.

In the room, on your phone
Many interviews happen face to face, in a back office with no video call and patchy wifi. The HireBest: Interview Companion app runs the same structured interview on the interviewer’s iPhone: one question at a time, the candidate briefing, the recording and the Cipher rating. It works with no signal and syncs to HireBest when the phone is back online, so an in-person interview gets the same transcript and evidence as an online one.
All the data you need, none of the confusion
Cut through the noise and minimize potential biases by rating candidates against your Cipher. Layer in the additional validation of Hogan personality assessments and you’ll know how your candidate will “show up” for the role, and how you can help them achieve even more, even faster.
One standard for every rating
Each interviewer rates against the same Cipher and rating scale, giving both a score and the reason for it, so you see the rating and the rationale.
