Scorecard (Recruit)

A Scorecard in Zoho Recruit is a structured evaluation template used in interviews to rate candidates on predefined criteria, with aggregated scores enabling objective comparison across candidates.

A Scorecard in Zoho Recruit is a structured evaluation template used during interviews to assess candidates against predefined criteria. Interviewers rate candidates on each criterion, and the scores are aggregated to give a comparable view across multiple candidates or interview rounds.

Building a Scorecard in Zoho Recruit

Administrators and recruiters can create scorecards with criteria relevant to the role. A technical scorecard for a software engineer might include categories like problem-solving, code quality, communication, and system design, each with a rating scale of 1 to 5. Scorecards can be reused across similar roles and are assigned to specific interview rounds.

Using Scores to Compare Candidates

Once interviewers complete scorecards, the aggregate scores are visible on the candidate record. Recruiters and hiring managers can compare scores across multiple candidates for the same role side by side. This brings objectivity to hiring decisions and reduces the influence of recency bias or informal impressions.

Example: A product team at a Bengaluru startup uses a Zoho Recruit scorecard for product manager interviews with five criteria: user empathy, prioritisation thinking, data literacy, communication, and stakeholder management. Three finalists each receive an aggregate score, and the candidate with the highest composite rating is selected.
