Rate candidates with scorecards

A scorecard rates a candidate from 1 to 5 in each of the job's categories, gives a recommendation (strong no, no, yes or strong yes) and can add notes.

Categories

Each job starts with four categories: Relevant experience, Skills for the role, Communication and Collaboration. Open the job to rename, add and remove them in Scorecard, and drag a category by its grip or use its arrows to reorder them. A job keeps at least one category. A change applies to scorecards submitted afterwards. A scorecard already submitted keeps the categories and names it was submitted with.

Submit a scorecard

When an interview has started, each of its interviewers sees Your scorecard for the interview on the candidate's page, and the Hiring overview lists it under Your scorecards to submit with the other interviews from the last 30 days you still owe a scorecard for. Select Submit scorecard, choose a rating for each category or leave it as Not rated, choose a recommendation and add notes. Magpie does not send reminders.

To rate a candidate without an interview, select Add a scorecard and choose Not for a specific interview.

You have one scorecard for each interview, and one that is not for an interview. Submitting again for the same interview replaces your earlier scorecard. Select Change or Delete on your own scorecard. You cannot change or delete someone else's.

Read scorecards

Scorecards on the candidate's page lists each scorecard with its ratings and notes, and above them how many scorecards there are, how many of each recommendation, and the average rating for each category and overall. A category that was not rated does not count towards an average.

An interviewer of the candidate who has not submitted a scorecard for them does not see the other scorecards or their summary, only how many there are. They see them after submitting their own. Team members who are not interviewers of the candidate see every scorecard.

Every team member who can open Hiring in the team can read the scorecards.

In the Magpie app

The app's Hiring overview lists Your scorecards to submit. On a candidate's page in the app, tap an interview that has started, or choose Add a scorecard from the action menu, to submit a scorecard. Choose a rating for each category or leave it as Not rated, choose a recommendation and add notes, then select Save scorecard. Tap your own scorecard to change it. To delete it, swipe it left or press and hold it. The app shows scorecards under the same independent-feedback rule as the candidate page.
