Interview Scorecard

Score before you discuss — the moment one interviewer speaks, every other score moves. Complete this during or immediately after the interview, then bring it to the debrief.

01

Interview

From the interview plan — do not re-ask other stages' questions

02

Competency ratings

Anchor every score in evidence you heard today. 3 means "meets the bar" — reserve 5 for evidence you would repeat in the debrief.

Domain expertise
Has owned comparable scope end-to-end
Problem solving
Reasons from evidence; changes mind on data
Ownership
Carried outcomes through obstacles, not just tasks
Communication
Precise; honest about uncertainty and failure
Working with people
Builds trust; gives credit; handles conflict directly
03

Evidence

Quotes, numbers, specifics — anything you would cite in the debrief

What would make this hire fail? Every honest scorecard has an answer.

Open questions you could not resolve today

04

Recommendation

Your call — no "maybe"

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

The single strongest reason behind your call
