A Scorecard is a structured list of criteria for evaluating candidates. You can create and customize scorecards and associate them with specific positions or a position’s pipeline stages.
Your Hiring Teams can complete scorecards with a simple thumbs-up, thumbs-down rating system, and written notes. The averages of your hiring team’s scorecard ratings are displayed as an overall score for the candidate and forside-by-side candidate comparisons.
Custom Scorecards are available on Growth, Business, and Pro plans.
Admin permission is required to create and edit Scorecards.
