For forensic lab managers

Hire scientists fairly, without starting from a blank page.

Panelkit builds your whole competition from a reviewed question bank. You pick the role. It hands you a scoring workbook, ready for your panel.

How it works

Four steps, and you can stop at any point.

01
Describe the position
Pick the role and discipline. Add the selection criteria for the job, or reuse ones you saved.
02
Choose the parts
Phone screen, panel interview, written test, practical, presentation and references. Use only what you need, and set the weight of each.
03
Pick the questions
Start from a ready-made set, or choose item by item. Every item comes with its marking key. Add your own as well.
04
Download the workbook
One Excel file with a tab for each panellist, scores that add up as you go, and the weighting matrix.

The library

Every item has a marking key. Each one is tagged by role, discipline and the behaviour it tests, so you only see what fits the job.

The workbook

Scores add up as you go
Each panellist marks on their own tab. The Scores tab adds them up and applies your weights.
The same for every candidate
Everyone gets the same questions, marked against the same key. That's fair, and it holds up when someone asks.
Emails and invites
Paste one block from the workbook. Panelkit fills in every email and makes calendar invites.
Set up once, reuse
Save your positions, departments, criteria and panellists. The next competition starts half done.
A memory for what you've asked
See when you last used a question or set, so a returning candidate gets fresh ones.
Plain Excel, no macros
The workbook opens in Excel on Windows, on a Mac or on the web. Nothing to install.

Built for your lab

It saves as you go, so you can stop and come back whenever you like.
