Interview Scorecard and Debrief Template
Decide on evidence, not impressions.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Create a scorecard and debrief process. Role: [ROLE]. Interview stages and who runs each: [STAGES]. Criteria: [CRITERIA]. Previous hiring problems: [PROBLEMS]. Provide: 1. A scorecard each interviewer completes independently before discussion: criterion, rating (1 to 5 with anchors), evidence (specific examples quoted or summarized), concerns, and a recommendation (strong yes, yes, no, strong no) with a one-sentence reason. 2. A debrief meeting agenda of 30 minutes: read the scores silently, share ratings in order starting with the most junior, discuss disagreements by evidence, check against the criteria, and decide. 3. Rules: no comments on appearance, accent, or "culture fit" without defined behaviors; no deciding before everyone has submitted. 4. A decision log (candidate, decision, key evidence, dissent). 5. A guide for the hiring manager on how to break ties. 6. A checklist to ensure notes are kept for the retention period in [JURISDICTION] [VERIFY]. Include a sample filled scorecard using invented data labeled as an example. Consider the result a draft rather than legal or HR advice. An employment lawyer or HR professional in [JURISDICTION] should confirm every legal, contractual or policy point before this is used.
