How to use this scorecard
1. Replace the sample rows with the 4-6 things that actually predict success in this role - work evidence, not vague traits like "culture fit". 2. Agree on the rubric with every interviewer before the first call, so "strong" means the same thing to everyone. 3. During or right after each interview, fill the Evidence column with what the candidate actually said, not your impression. 4. Score only where evidence exists; leave Gap as YES where you didn't get proof. 5. Compare candidates column by column at the end - the rubric decides, not the loudest interviewer.
Mistakes this template prevents
Scoring from memory two days later, comparing candidates on different criteria, and letting one strong answer carry the whole interview. The Evidence column is the discipline: if nobody wrote it down, it did not happen. Keep criteria under 7 - more than that and interviewers stop scoring honestly.
Updated for the recurring pack
New submissions are scored only where evidence exists; missing proof remains unknown and the human owns the decision.
Evidence Cards columns: Candidate ID | Criterion | Evidence | Score | Missing | Source | Reviewer | Decision
The free agent pack sets up the Google Sheet, processes only new or due rows, holds exact proposals for approval, rechecks the source before a write and verifies the result by readback.
Limits
A rubric, not a verdict: the Human decision column stays with your team.
The standing version
The Screening Agent (free download) runs this as a workflow in your own Drive: it fills this structure from your real inputs, shows evidence per row, and stops at every human decision.
