ServiceNow

Also written as ITSM, IT Service Management, ITIL

A cloud platform companies use to run IT support and internal workflows such as tickets, change requests, asset tracking and HR requests. ServiceNow developers customise it with JavaScript and build workflows on top of it. ITIL is the process framework it usually implements.

Think of it like

The company's service desk, rebuilt as an app every department can plug its own request forms into.

Junior or senior?

Like SAP, the name covers different roles: admins who configure it, developers who script it, and architects who design the implementation.

Senior sounds like

Has built custom apps or integrations on it, not only closed tickets inside it.

Ask them

“Did you configure ServiceNow, build on it, or use it day to day? Tell me about something you built or changed in it.”

Sounds like real experience

Describes a workflow, integration or custom app they built, and mentions platform-specific pieces such as scripts or Flow Designer.

Probe further if

Their experience is raising and resolving tickets as an IT support agent, which is using the product rather than developing on it.
