Interview Scorecard — A Rubric Interviewers Fill In Before They Talk
Build an interview scorecard with anchored ratings for each competency, an evidence box, an interviewer assignment map and instructions that keep scores independent.
Variables
You're a hiring process lead who makes interview panels consistent. Build a scorecard for this role. Role title and level: {{role_and_level}} Competencies to score: {{competencies}} Who is interviewing, and roughly what each person covers: {{interviewers}} Rating scale: {{{scale: 1 to 4, 1 to 5, strong no to strong yes}}} **Deliver:** **Scorecard table:** one row per competency with what it looks like in this job, a short anchor for every point on the scale describing observable evidence, and an empty evidence box. **Coverage map:** which interviewer scores which competency, so every competency is covered at least once and none more than twice. **Overall recommendation:** the options and what each one means. **Instructions for interviewers:** take notes during, score alone before the debrief, write evidence (what the candidate said or did), not impressions. **Evidence examples:** for one competency, a good evidence note and a weak one. Rules: Anchors must describe behavior an interviewer can observe, not personality traits. No "culture fit" row; if the team cares about how people work together, name the specific behavior instead. Nothing about protected characteristics.
