Adding a Scorecard

Scorecards are a way to get all of your hiring team's feedback on candidates at one glance, and they help simplify your final hiring decisions by providing a numerical score for every candidate.

 

 

Different companies have different metrics, and sometimes those metrics vary by position. With VIVAHR's custom scorecards, choose the qualifiers that you are most interested in. Your team can vote, giving the candidate a comprehensive and highly relevant score. Scorecards are a great way to get all of your hiring team's feedback at one glance. They help simplify your final hiring decisions by providing a numerical score for every candidate.

A scorecard defines your standards for a position and helps you identify talented candidates. Your hiring teams can use the Scorecard to evaluate candidates using a simple thumbs-up, thumbs-down system, plus notes on each scorecard item.

In VIVAHR, we use a 5-point scale to assess candidate skills, traits, requirements, or anything else you add to the scorecard.

  • 2 Thumb Up - Very Good
  • 1 Thumb Up - Good
  • Circle - Neutral
  • 1 Thumb Down - Poor
  • 2 Thumbs Down - Very Poor
