quisquilia, home Try it an interview, in Italian (opens in a new tab)

The real job description for every role. Written by the people who do it.

The official job description says what a role should do. The people in it know what it actually does. Quisquilia interviews everyone about their own work, twenty-five minutes each, and writes one job description per role.

Why official job descriptions go stale.

A role changes every year. New software arrives, a colleague leaves, a client asks for something else. The job description stays as it was on the day it was written.

Writing them by hand for every role takes weeks of meetings. With AI interviews everyone talks in parallel, each when they can, with no calendars to juggle.

Michele interviews a sales back office assistant

Listening · 03:24

Example · fictional data
  1. Tell me about your Monday morning. Where do you start?
  2. I open the client emails and prepare the quotes. Then I check the dates with the warehouse.
  3. Do you always ask the warehouse for the dates yourself?
  4. Yes. It’s not in my job description, but if I don’t do it the quotes go out wrong.

In the reportCoordination with the warehouse is missing from the official job description.

How it works.

  1. Everyone tells their story.

    Tasks, frequency, tools, who they report to and what they know that is not written down.

  2. The comparison.

    The answers of people in the same role are put together. You can see where they differ.

  3. The writing.

    One document per role, with tasks, responsibilities and skills.

  4. The check.

    Every line links back to sentences from the interviews. The manager reads and approves.
