Good hires come from comparing candidates on the same things. A scorecard keeps interviews focused on what predicts success in the role.
Define what matters
Agree on the traits before the first interview, not after.
- Coachability
- Clear communication
- Ownership of results
Ask the same questions
Every candidate answers the same core questions, so answers can be compared.
- Ask about a time they took feedback
- Run a short role-play
- Ask how they handled a missed goal
Score right away
Score each trait while the interview is fresh, before talking it over.
- Rate each trait from one to five
- Write one example for each score
- Compare scores with other interviewers
Put it into practice.
