Candidate Evaluation Form

The whole-candidate decision record, completed at the debrief once every stage is done. Evidence, then judgement, then one clear recommendation — no "maybe".

01

Candidate

02

Assessment against the profile

Rate what the evidence supports, not the impression left. 3 meets the bar; reserve 5 for evidence you would repeat in the room.

Domain expertise & scope
Has owned comparable scope end to end
Leadership & influence
Gets results through others, not just personally
Judgement & problem solving
Reasons from evidence; changes course on data
Culture add
Raises the bar and the team, not just fits in
Motivation & trajectory
Wants this role for the right reasons
03

Evidence & judgement

Specifics you would cite in the room

What would make this hire fail — and can it be managed?

Open questions a reference or final stage must close

04

Recommendation

Your call

A forced decision keeps the debrief honest. You can change your mind in the room; you cannot abstain here.

The single strongest reason behind your call
