Hiring Scorecard Skill

Score and compare job candidates objectively using weighted criteria. Eliminates gut-feel hiring decisions.

Usage

Tell your agent: "Score this candidate for [role]" or "Compare these 3 candidates for the backend engineer role."

How It Works

1. Define the role — provide job title and key requirements
2. Set criteria — the agent uses 6 default dimensions (or you customize):

- Technical skills (weight: 25%) - Relevant experience (weight: 20%) - Culture fit (weight: 15%) - Communication (weight: 15%) - Problem solving (weight: 15%) - Growth potential (weight: 10%)

1. Score candidates — 1-5 scale per criterion after interview/review
2. Get weighted totals — ranked comparison with hire/no-hire recommendation

Commands

• score candidate [name] for [role] — start a new scorecard
• add criterion [name] weight [%] — customize scoring dimensions
• compare candidates — side-by-side ranked comparison
• hiring summary — executive summary with recommendation

### Scoring Guide
5 = Exceptional — top 5% of candidates seen
4 = Strong — clearly above average
3 = Meets bar — would do the job well
2 = Below bar — notable gaps
1 = Not a fit — significant concerns

Tips

• Score immediately after each interview while impressions are fresh
• Have multiple interviewers score independently, then compare
• Adjust weights per role (e.g., bump Technical to 40% for senior eng)
• Track scores over time to calibrate your hiring bar
