Hiring Scorecard — Competency & Collaboration Fit

This interactive scorecard helps interviewers capture consistent, evidence-based ratings for role competencies, collaboration behaviors, and cultural contribution. Use behavioral examples to justify each rating. When everyone on the hiring panel uses the same anchors and weights, teams make fairer, faster, and more defensible decisions.

Quick instructions

  • Complete candidate and role details first.
  • For each rating, write a short example or quote from the interview that supports the score.
  • Use the Calibration & Weighting guidance below before hiring decisions.
