WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES WHEN USING A SCORECARD? NONO TION TTION T ALENT AALENT A SS SESSES THE BENEFITS SMENTSMENT Interview score sheets keep you focused and will help your hiring manager improve. Interview scorecards support hiring team collaboration and helps the team record separate judgements on candidates. Scorecards make your interviews fairer and more consistent and they can help in litigation. Candidate scorecards help you think through and define your requirements. THE CHALLENGES Active scoring limits eye contact. Make sure you write short notes. The scorecard should include what a good (and potentially bad) answer entails so you can tick off. Scorecards don’t allow you to stray from the process and explore tangents. When creating the interview questions you can include exploratory questions (and reflect this in the scorecard). Preparing scorecards requires time and effort, so standardise scorecards in departments and across the business if possible. 4949
