This document provides an example of a candidate interview scorecard template to evaluate candidates. It includes an example scorecard for a candidate interview that rates the candidate's responses to questions on a scale of 1 to 4 based on their importance. The example candidate scores highly in most areas but is noted to need development in business acumen and driving projects to meet deadlines. The summary concludes the candidate appears well-suited overall but these two areas should be explored further. The document then provides a blank scorecard for the reviewer to complete for subsequent candidates.

she will work well with peers. My two concerns are her business acumen and her ability to drive projects to meet
deadlines. I suggest exploring this further in future interviews.
