Recognizable situation
It starts from a realistic role tension, not a generic question.
Role evidence-based hiring
It means asking for a brief, contextual sample of how someone would approach situations from the role before the interview. Evidence prepares better questions; it does not replace the interview or turn one answer into an automatic decision.

Reviewable method
Role → situation → evidence
Evidence starts from real work
The team defines a relevant situation, reviews a contextual answer and decides what needs to be explored next.
Role
Responsibilities, recurring situations, boundaries and decisions that matter.
Evidence
Original answer, observable criteria, doubts and situation context.
Interview
Concrete follow-up questions and human review before advancing or rejecting.
Definition
A CV claim is contrasted with a situation from the role
The goal is not to guess personality or seek one perfect answer. It is to observe reasoning, priorities, boundaries, communication and requests for context in a situation that could happen at work.
Explicit criteria
It states what can be observed and what cannot be inferred from one answer.
Reviewable answer
It keeps the original response so the team can verify any summary.
Process
Evidence supports a better interview; it does not automate rejection
BUSCOS organizes prior material and helps prepare follow-up questions. The company or agency reads the evidence in context, listens to the person and remains responsible for the decision.
No final score
It does not turn a person into one grade or an automatic ranking.
Read moreInterview contrast
Doubts become concrete questions instead of closed conclusions.
Human judgement
The responsible team decides what evidence is relevant and which context is missing.
Differences
ATS, tests and role evidence solve different problems
An ATS organizes applications. A test can add broad indicators. A role situation shows one concrete answer in context. They can complement each other, but they should not be confused.
Quality
Useful evidence should be relevant, proportionate and explainable
The situation should resemble the work, require reasonable effort, give clear instructions and avoid inferences the answer cannot support. It should also allow review, correction and human contrast.
Relevance
Only evidence connected to real role responsibilities is considered.
Proportionality
The first sample is brief; depth increases only when it adds value.
Traceability
The reading keeps the answer, scenario and criteria together.
The method is validated with one concrete role
Choose a situation that is currently hard to observe before interviews. The demo should show the evidence the team would receive and the limits of its interpretation.
