Most interview panels decide on gut feel — “I just liked them.” Then three months later, when the hire doesn’t work out, there’s no way to explain what happened.
This free Scorecard fixes that. Score every candidate across 5 weighted competencies — Communication, Functional Skill, Problem Solving, Culture Fit, Leadership Potential — and get an instant, defensible recommendation: Strong Hire, Hire, Borderline, or No Hire.
What’s inside:
- A Scoring Rubric so every interviewer rates candidates the same way
- Editable weights — adjust for the role (e.g. weight Technical Skill higher for engineering, Culture Fit higher for leadership roles)
- Auto-calculated weighted score and recommendation, color-coded for quick scanning
Format: Excel (.xlsx) — works in Excel 2016 and above, no add-ins needed.
