Post-Interview Candidate Evaluation Scorecard
A structured scorecard for interviewers to rate a candidate right after a screen, panel, or onsite round — covering core competencies, standout strengths, and a hire recommendation. An AI follow-up interview digs into the reasoning behind borderline scores so hiring committees get real evidence, not just a number.

Q08

Q09
AI Interview
Reconstruct the concrete evidence behind this interviewer's overall recommendation, not just the score. If the recommendation score was in the middle range (roughly 4-7), probe specifically what pushed it up or down and whether the gaps mentioned are coachable versus dealbreakers. Ask for a specific example that would change their mind in either direction, and check whether their rating matches the concerns and strengths they described in the open text answers.
Q10
Multiple ChoiceRequired
What is your final recommendation for this candidate?
- Strong yes - hire
- Yes - advance to next step
- Maybe - need more information
- No - do not advance
- Strong no - clear reject

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Combines structured competency ratings (matrix), a hire/no-hire recommendation, and a MaxDiff ranking of standout signals in one scorecard, so committees see both scores and prioritized evidence.
- An AI follow-up interview automatically probes the reasoning behind borderline or inconsistent scores, turning a static rating into documented evidence instead of just a number.
- Open-ended prompts capture the specific example that most supports the evaluation and any concerns that would give the interviewer pause, reducing vague 'thumbs up/down' feedback.
- Auto-generated reports and transparent prompts mean hiring teams can see exactly what was asked and why, with no manual write-up required from the interviewer.
Jotform
Candidate Evaluation Form TemplateA fielding-ready, customizable candidate evaluation form built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's designed for quick post-interview rating capture rather than structured hiring-committee workflows. Good for simple scorecards but not built specifically around interview-stage nuance or evidence-gathering.
What it does well
- Easy to customize with Jotform's form builder and templates library
- Quick to deploy for basic post-interview rating capture
- Integrates with Jotform's broader form ecosystem (e.g., approval flows, storage)
Where it falls short
- Static form fields only — no adaptive follow-up questioning to probe the reasoning behind a rating
- No mechanism to automatically surface or reconstruct evidence behind a recommendation
- No published methodology or transparent prompt logic for how evaluations are structured
SurveyMonkey
Streamline Hiring With A Candidate Evaluation Form TemplateSurveyMonkey offers a ready-to-use candidate evaluation template aimed at streamlining interviewer feedback collection. It covers standard rating fields but is a generic survey template rather than one tailored to interview-stage evidence or hiring-committee needs. Reporting is limited to SurveyMonkey's standard analytics dashboards.
What it does well
- Simple, recognizable survey format that's fast for interviewers to complete
- Backed by SurveyMonkey's established survey distribution and analytics tools
- Template can be customized with additional rating questions
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up — static question set can't dig deeper into borderline scores
- No voice AI or guided task/screen-share options for richer interview capture
- Reporting relies on generic survey analytics rather than an evidence-focused hire recommendation report
