Worked example
What it makes
The starting criteria for a candidate comparison, with example scores for three unnamed options to show how the weighting works. Your Room uses your own options and scores.
| Criterion (weight) | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skills the role needs (5) | 5/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Relevant experience (4) | 3/5 | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Problem solving in the interview task (4) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Communication (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| How they work with others (3) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Motivation for this role (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Weighted score | 75.5/100 | 72.7/100 | 69.1/100 |
Weighted score = sum of (weight × score) ÷ sum of (weight × 5), out of 100.

- Have each interviewer score before the panel discusses, to avoid anchoring.
- The score supports the decision; it doesn't make it.
Questions
About the Candidate Interview Scorecard
Does WZRD rate these products?
No. You score each option on your own criteria; WZRD only does the weighted maths and lays out the result. Check prices and features on each vendor's own site, because they change often.
What should an interview scorecard include?
The skills and experience the role needs, how candidates did on a work-like task, communication and how they work with others, each with a weight agreed in advance.
