Interview Scorecard

Score candidates consistently against the same categories, capture a recommendation and notes, and print a clean copy. Everything stays in your browser.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the interview scorecard free and private?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser — no account, no backend, and nothing is sent or stored. Closing the tab clears it.

How is the overall score calculated?

It shows the sum of category ratings out of the maximum and the simple average across categories. The written rationale should carry as much weight as the number.

Can I print or save it?

Use the print button for a clean copy (print or save as PDF from the print dialog). Site navigation is removed in print.

What scoring scale should I use?

A 1–5 scale per category is a practical default. Define what each level means for your role before interviewing.
