Scorecard

A scorecard is a structured rubric listing the competencies and outcomes a role requires, used to rate each candidate consistently. It turns hiring decisions into evidence against defined criteria instead of gut feel.

A good scorecard is built from the job description before interviews begin, so every interviewer assesses the same competencies and outcomes rather than forming separate impressions.

Combined with a structured interview, it is one of the simplest ways to make hiring more objective: candidates become comparable on the same axes, and the final decision rests on rated evidence.
