Interview Scorecard & Candidate Fit Matrix

This interactive scorecard helps interviewers collect consistent, objective evidence against role-focused competencies and make transparent recommendations for team fit. Use the rating scales and evidence fields to capture behaviorally anchored observations rather than impressions. Complete the bias-mitigation checklist before submitting. The saved submission can be used in debriefs, ATS integration, and hiring analytics.
