Interview Scorecard & Hiring Funnel Templates

Welcome

This form helps hiring teams evaluate candidates consistently and track your hiring funnel. Complete one submission per candidate (or per interview) and use the funnel snapshot fields to record a weekly or daily view of where candidates are in the process. Scoring uses a 1–5 scale where 1 = Poor, 3 = Meets expectations, 5 = Exceptional.

How to use

1. Fill candidate details and role.
2. Score each competency thoughtfully — explain scores in Notes.
3. Choose a recommended action and, if offering, edit the Offer template below.
4. Use the funnel snapshot at the bottom to record counts so you can spot bottlenecks across days or weeks.

Scoring guidance: consider using the same interviewer for a role when possible, use notes to justify low or high scores, and compare candidates against the role's must-have skills first. At the end of the form you’ll find editable templates for offer and rejection messages you can copy into your hiring system.
