Pick four to six competencies that predict performance in this role and give them weights that add up to 100. A sales role might weight results orientation at 30 and communication at 25; an engineer, problem solving at 30 and teamwork at 20. The weights force the hiring manager to say what matters before meeting anyone, which is the point.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vq-tw\">\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>Competency<\/td>\n<td>Typical weight<\/td>\n<td>Ask about it with<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Communication<\/td>\n<td>15-25<\/td>\n<td>Explaining something complex, delivering bad news<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Teamwork<\/td>\n<td>15-20<\/td>\n<td>A conflict, a dependency, sharing credit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Problem solving<\/td>\n<td>20-30<\/td>\n<td>A decision with incomplete information, a real mistake<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Results orientation<\/td>\n<td>20-30<\/td>\n<td>A measured achievement, a missed target<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adaptability<\/td>\n<td>10-15<\/td>\n<td>A change they resisted, learning under pressure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Leadership<\/td>\n<td>0-20<\/td>\n<td>Only for roles with reports or heavy influence<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"sec-4\">The 1-5 rubric, and why it must be written down<\/h2>\n<p>A scale without descriptions drifts: one interviewer&#8217;s 4 is another&#8217;s 3.

Then the panel compares scores per competency, not totals: a gap of two points on the same competency means two people heard different evidence, and that conversation is where the good hiring decisions happen. Average the totals only after the gaps are discussed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sec-6\">Common mistakes<\/h2>\n<p>Scoring the impression instead of the evidence (fix: no score without a sentence next to it). Scoring during the interview and then arguing with your own number (fix: take notes during, score right after). Letting one interviewer&#8217;s total dominate because they spoke first (fix: scores are submitted before the debrief). Keeping the scorecard in a drawer (fix: it is the record you will need if a decision is questioned).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sec-7\">Filling the evidence column without stopping to type<\/h2>\n<p>The evidence column is the one that gets skipped, because writing while listening is hard. Two options: a second interviewer takes notes while the first asks, or the interview is recorded and transcribed and the scorecard is filled from the transcript. Voicit does the second: it records the interview, transcribes it and fills your scorecard with the candidate&#8217;s literal answers against the competencies you defined.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vq-cta\">\n<p><strong>Stop writing up interviews by hand.<\/strong> Voicit records the interview, transcribes it and fills your scorecard against the competencies you defined &mdash; so you can listen instead of typing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voicit.com\/en\/human-resources\/\">See how it works<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"vq-faq\">\n<h3>What is an interview scorecard?<\/h3>\n<p>A standard form where each interviewer scores the same competencies on the same scale and records the evidence for each score. It makes candidates comparable and decisions defensible.<\/p>\n<h3>How many competencies should an interview scorecard have?<\/h3>\n<p>Four to six. Fewer than four misses important signals; more than six and interviewers stop following up on each one.<\/p>\n<h3>Should candidates see the scorecard?<\/h3>\n<p>Not the scores, but there is no harm in telling them which competencies you will assess. Structured interviews are fairer, and candidates rate them higher.<\/p>\n<h3>What scale should I use: 1-5 or 1-10?<\/h3>\n<p>1-5 with written descriptions for each level. Ten levels feel more precise but interviewers cannot agree on the difference between a 6 and a 7.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the template free?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Excel, Word and PDF, with no sign-up and no email.
