Hiring the right people can be the difference between business success and failure.
JobScore encourages you to think critically about what you need, assess for it, and then make quality data-driven hiring decisions.

Hiring decisions are only as good as the data you use to make them.
Great decisions start with a team brainstorm to identify skills, attributes, interview questions and sales points.
Once you’ve got everything up on a witheboard, rank what’s most important.
Once you know what you are looking for turn your desired skills and attributes into ratings in JobScore.
Ratings are how your team provides structured, measurable interview feedback on candidates.
Each rating includes a short description so interviewers know exactly what to assess.

Interview templates determine what your team sees while they interview candidates.
Templates can include rating criteria as well as interviewing instructions, sample questions and a field to type up notes.
When you connect your calendar published events are linked to these templates, so every interviewer knows exactly what to do.
The idea is to create a JobScore interview template for each stage of your hiring process.
Planning everything out helps the team avoid asking the same questions and trust each other to cover what’s needed.
Building templates also helps provide a great candidate experience and sell candidates on the job.
