Ensure effective and fair candidate assessments to inform your hiring decisions with our resume and interview review templates that'll help you find the best talent for your projects.
Our candidate scorecard templates are simple tools that help you decide who to interview, and then design, conduct, and evaluate interviews in a structured and consistent way.
They help you to:
- Ask relevant and consistent questions that assess the candidate’s technical and soft skills, as well as how they’ll add to your company culture and values.
- Rate the candidate’s resumes and responses using a simple scoring system, reducing bias and subjectivity to ensure you hire the best person for the job.
- Provide faster feedback and follow up with the candidate after the interview to help you secure the best candidates faster.
Using our interview and resume scorecard templates will help you to improve your interviewing and resume screening skills, compare candidates objectively and fairly, and avoid any legal or ethical issues that may arise from unstructured or biased interviews and resume reviews.
Our candidate scorecard templates across the key areas at both stages of the assessment process to help you focus with a simple scoring system of 1 to 5, so you can be more objective in your decision making. You can also include notes and examples to support your ratings and feedback.
