What Goodfit asks production, quality and maintenance applicants

Goodfit asks about a skipped safety check, a defect before shipping and a machine that keeps tripping. Every plant scores the answers on the same rubric.

What Goodfit does for plant hiring and retention

Technicians take a skills test written for their role

Write your own questions on lockout steps, wiring diagrams or quality checks. Each candidate gets a different mix from your question pool. The report scores lockout, wiring and quality questions separately.

Each safety answer has a score, a quote and a recording

Goodfit asks supervisors how they would handle a jam, a skipped guard or a failed check. Each score comes with their exact words. You can show a safety auditor the PDF.

Check-in calls reach new hires on any shift

Goodfit calls each new hire at a time that fits their shift. If they miss the call, Goodfit tries again and sends a text so they can pick a time. You get a list of who might leave, with the reason in their own words.

Exit calls rank why people leave, by shift and supervisor

Each exit call asks why the person is leaving. Goodfit ranks the answers by plant, shift and supervisor, so you fix the problem where people are actually quitting.

FAQ

Questions manufacturing teams ask

Do candidates need a smartphone or a computer?
No. The AI interview runs as an ordinary phone call, so an operator can take it from any handset between shifts. Candidates who prefer it can use a browser link instead.
How do we test hands-on knowledge, like lockout steps or reading a wiring diagram?
Write your own questions into a skills test for the role. Candidates take it with the interview. Each one gets a different mix from your question pool. A multiple-choice answer can earn partial credit. You get a score for each skill, which shows where a technician needs training.
Can each plant use its own questions?
Yes. You can set up a role for each plant or shift, with its own questions and rubric. Every candidate for that role is scored the same way. You can compare applicants fairly within a plant. You can also see if one site is stricter than another.
What can we show a safety or customer auditor about how we hire?
You can show the recording and transcript of each interview. The scorecard shows why each score was given and the time in the call it came from. Download one candidate’s report as a PDF, or export a whole batch as a ZIP file.
Who sees what new hires say on a check-in call?
Check-in answers are shared with the employee’s name. They are told this before the first question. That lets HR follow up with them directly. Exit calls work differently. Each one opens with a note that answers are confidential. Results are grouped by plant and supervisor. They do not go to the leaver’s own manager.

Hire for every plant and shift with Goodfit
