HIRING GLOSSARY
Interview Scorecard
Definition
An interview scorecard is a simple form interviewers fill out to rate a candidate against the same set of criteria — skills, experience, and fit. It makes feedback consistent so every candidate is judged the same way, not on gut feel. Scorecards help a small team compare candidates fairly and decide together.
Also called: scorecard, interview rubric.
