Candidate Scorecard by Discovered Hiring Managers, and CEOs
Score candidates fairly and consistently with an easy, repeatable format. Make data-driven hiring decisions.
Why Use a Candidate Scorecard?
Without a clear structure, every interviewer uses different standards—and that leads to inconsistent decisions and hiring bias.
Fair Candidate Comparison
Evaluate every applicant using standardized, job-aligned traits so you're comparing apples to apples—not relying on gut feeling.
Collaborative Scoring
Allow multiple interviewers to rate candidates individually, then review all feedback together for stronger, team-based decisions.
Bias-Free Decisions
Reduce unconscious bias with structured scoring criteria and documentation—especially valuable for compliance and fairness.
Confident Hiring
Make clearer, more confident hiring decisions backed by objective data and shared insights—not inconsistent impressions.
