Hiring & Interview Scorecard

Use this scorecard during interviews, trial shifts, or short service simulations to evaluate candidates consistently. Rate observable behaviors, record evidence, note red flags, and recommend a decision. We store each evaluation so teams can compare candidates and reduce bias.

Recommended default weights: Technical skills 50%, Culture/Attitude 30%, Practical task 20%. Adjust weights if the role requires a different balance.

Full name as written on application.

YYYY-MM-DD or local format.

Observed behavior during busy periods or time-limited tasks.
1.0 10.0
Score from a short service simulation, sample plate, or hands-on task.

Check any observed red flags that would require follow-up or disqualify the candidate.
Write short, specific, observable statements (e.g., 'accurate portioning', 'helped teammate calmly').
List specific gaps or questions for a second interview or reference check.
Optional: compute (average technical * technical_weight + average culture * culture_weight + task_score * task_weight) / 100. Enter the final weighted score 1–5 scale or 0–100 as your team prefers.
Include suggested starting role/level, pay band if appropriate, and any conditions (trial shift, reference check).
Paste URL to the standard onboarding checklist or local variant.
