Evaluating Candidates

Score as you go during the interview. Make notes on the guide after each question response and then enter a score in the "Rating ____" section for each competency. This score is determined by your assessment of the applicant's responses to all of the questions you have asked within that competency.

To total the scores use the scoring section of your Guide Cover Sheet (available for printing from the Guide Library). Enter the score for each of the competencies you have used and then do the calculations. Scoring is on a five point scale with 5 being high. The final total takes into consideration the weights of importance you have assigned to each competency.

Here's a copy of the scoring sheet from the Guide Cover Page:
