File contents Hiring Scorecard Skill
Score and compare job candidates objectively using weighted criteria. Eliminates gut-feel hiring decisions.
Usage
Tell your agent: "Score this candidate for [role]" or "Compare these 3 candidates for the backend engineer role."
How It Works
Define the role — provide job title and key requirements
Set criteria — the agent uses 6 default dimensions (or you customize):
Technical skills (weight: 25%)
Relevant experience (weight: 20%)
Culture fit (weight: 15%)
Communication (weight: 15%)
Problem solving (weight: 15%)
Growth potential (weight: 10%)
Score candidates — 1-5 scale per criterion after interview/review
Get weighted totals — ranked comparison with hire/no-hire recommendation
Commands
score candidate [name] for [role] — start a new scorecard
add criterion [name] weight [%] — customize scoring dimensions
compare candidates — side-by-side ranked comparison
hiring summary — executive summary with recommendation

2 = Below bar — notable gaps
1 = Not a fit — significant concerns
Tips
Score immediately after each interview while impressions are fresh
Have multiple interviewers score independently, then compare
