🗂️ Interview Evaluation & Candidate Scorecard

Running interviews? Stop scoring candidates in a messy doc. PaperKit drafts a proper Interview Evaluation & Candidate Scorecard the interviewer fills in and signs. Pick the interview type — PHONE SCREEN, TECHNICAL, BEHAVIORAL, PANEL, or FINAL — and the whole scorecard reshapes (the title, the framing, the criteria intro, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean EVALUATION CRITERIA table: rate the candidate on each criterion on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Outstanding, Exceeds bar, Meets bar, Below bar, Well below bar — add a supporting comment, and PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE candidate score, with a scale legend right on the form. Then record your overall HIRE RECOMMENDATION — STRONG HIRE, HIRE, LEAN HIRE / MAYBE, NO HIRE, or STRONG NO HIRE — shown as a bold, color-coded decision badge right at the top that also reshapes the closing. Answer a set of structured prompts too — candidate strengths, concerns & risks, technical / role skills, recommended next steps, values & team fit, communication, the candidate's questions, and any notes — and each becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom prompts, an overall summary, and a short interviewer sign-off (this is my own assessment, based on the interview, job-related & lawful, confidential, and e-signature consent). The interviewer is the one completing it, so THEY e-sign the hosted scorecard online and submit it to recruiting / the hiring manager — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private. (This is a convenience template, not legal, HR, or professional advice — PaperKit doesn't evaluate any candidate, make any hiring decision, or screen applicants; your organization owns its hiring process and must evaluate candidates lawfully on job-related criteria only.)

An interview evaluation / candidate scorecard is a template for convenience, not legal, HR, or professional advice. PaperKit does not evaluate any candidate, make any hiring decision, or screen applicants — the organization is responsible for evaluating candidates lawfully on job-related criteria only and for its own hiring process, and you are responsible for the accuracy of what you state. Employment laws on interviewing and record-keeping vary, so confirm your own policies. PaperKit is not a law firm and records electronic signature via the signer's typed name.
