Hire · Scorecards
Structured interview scorecards and candidate evaluations
Replace subjective gut-feel with objective, competency-based scorecards. Align interview panels, lock evaluations until submission, and make high-confidence hiring decisions.
Standardized evaluation criteria
Grade candidates on defined technical, cultural, and behavioral competencies.
Bias-free independent feedback
Panel feedback remains locked until each interviewer submits their evaluation.
Unlimited free interviewer seats
Hiring managers and panel interviewers submit feedback without paid seats.
Standardization
Define role-specific competencies that matter
Create tailored scorecard templates for every stage of your hiring pipeline—from initial recruiter screening to technical deep-dives and founder culture rounds. Standardize what good looks like across your organization.
- Custom rating scales (1–5 scale with descriptive rubrics)
- Mandatory qualitative notes to support numerical scores
- Clear hire, strong hire, or reject recommendation options
- Stage-specific scorecards tailored to each interview round
Anti-Bias Locking
Eliminate panel bias with locked feedback
Groupthink and seniority bias ruin interview debriefs. OneATS keeps every interviewer's scorecard confidential until all panel members have submitted their assessments, ensuring every evaluator's genuine perspective is captured.
- Ratings hidden until individual scorecard is completed and submitted
- Automated reminders sent immediately after interview completion
- Comprehensive debrief view compiling all panel feedback side-by-side
Decision Making
Instant score rollups for fast, confident hiring decisions
No more tracking down notes across Slack channels or scattered emails. Hiring managers see a unified rollup of scores, interview notes, and recommendations in one clean dashboard before making an offer.
- Consolidated competency matrix highlighting candidate strengths and weaknesses
- Direct comparison of multi-interviewer assessments
- Full evaluation audit trail preserved on the candidate profile

Frequently asked questions
Can we have different scorecards for different interview rounds?
Yes. You can attach distinct scorecards to each interview stage—for example, a behavioral scorecard for HR screening and a technical competency scorecard for engineering rounds.
Can interviewers see each other's scorecards before submitting?
No. Scorecards remain locked and hidden until an interviewer submits their own evaluation. This prevents anchoring and confirmation bias.
Do hiring managers need paid licenses to use scorecards?
No. In OneATS, interviewer and hiring manager seats are completely free and unlimited on every plan.
Can scorecards be filled out on mobile devices?
Yes. Interviewers receive a mobile-friendly link in their calendar invite or email to complete and submit their scorecard on any device.
