When to use this
Use a structured scorecard whenever more than one person interviews, or whenever you want fair, comparable evaluations. Set categories from the role’s requirements before interviewing, score independently, and discuss after.
- Panel or multi-stage interviews that need comparable scoring.
- Reducing recency and likeability bias with a fixed rubric.
- A printable record to support a documented decision.

How it works
Each category is rated 1 (weak) to 5 (strong). The tool shows the running total out of the maximum and the average across categories. Scores are deliberately simple — the rubric and the written rationale matter more than a precise number. Score before group discussion to avoid anchoring.
Structured interviewing in brief
Structured scorecards make hiring fairer and faster because every candidate is assessed on the same criteria with a defined scale. Pair this tool with the interview questions guide to design the questions, the job description guide to set the criteria, and the printable interview evaluation form for an offline version.
