Interview Scorecard Builder
Build a structured interview scorecard with weighted competencies, a 1–5 rating scale per competency, and per-competency question banks. Rate the candidate live during the interview, capture notes per competency, and see the weighted overall score in real time. Export as a printable PDF via your browser's print dialog, or save the scorecard template to localStorage to reuse for the next candidate. Everything runs locally in your browser.
How to use
- 1
Fill in role, candidate and interviewer
Enter the role you're hiring for, the candidate's name, your name and the interview date. These appear in the scorecard header when printed.
- 2
Add competencies with weights and questions
Each competency has a name (e.g. "Technical Skills"), a 1–5 weight reflecting its importance to the role, and a list of interview questions. Add or remove competencies and questions to match your rubric.
- 3
Rate the candidate during the interview
Click the 1–5 rating button for each competency. Add notes with specific evidence and examples. The weighted overall score updates live as you rate.
- 4
Save or print the scorecard
Save the template to localStorage so the next candidate uses the same rubric. Click Print to export a clean PDF via your browser's print dialog — only the scorecard prints, not the page chrome.
Common use cases
- Standardise interview evaluation across multiple interviewers for the same candidate.
- Reduce hiring bias by scoring each competency against a fixed rubric before debrief.
- Compare candidates side-by-side using weighted overall scores.
- Onboard new interviewers with a ready-made rubric they can load and reuse.
- Document hiring decisions for compliance and audit trails.
Limitations
- Ratings and notes are session state — they are not persisted in localStorage. Only the scorecard template (role, competencies, questions) is saved. Capture the printed PDF if you need a permanent record of a specific candidate's evaluation.
- The weighted overall score is the weighted mean of rated competencies. Competencies you haven't rated yet are excluded from the average. This prevents unrated competencies from dragging the score down.
- Print output uses the browser's native print dialog. To get a PDF, choose “Save as PDF” as the printer destination.
- The scorecard is single-interviewer. For panel interviews, each interviewer should fill in their own scorecard and the debrief aggregates them.
- localStorage is per-browser. Saved templates do not sync across devices or browsers.
