Candidate facts, extracted
Salary expectation, notice period, work authorization, and start date are pulled straight from what the candidate said, so the facts section fills itself.

What is a candidate evaluation scorecard?
A candidate evaluation scorecard is a structured form interviewers use to rate a candidate against the same set of competencies, capture evidence for each rating, and record a clear hiring recommendation. Using one scorecard for every candidate makes interviews consistent and decisions easier to defend.
How do I use this template?
Fill it in directly on this page during or right after the interview. Your draft is saved in your browser, so you can come back to it. When you are done, copy it as text or download it as a PDF or Word file. Nothing is sent to a server.
What should I score a candidate on?
Score the competencies that actually predict success in the role. This template starts with communication, problem solving, technical or functional skill, collaboration, ownership, motivation, and values or culture add, each on a 1 to 5 scale (1 poor, 3 meets the bar, 5 exceptional). Rename or reweight them to match your scorecard, and always tie each score to evidence from the interview.
How does Sonarnote fill this scorecard automatically?
Sonarnote records the interview locally with no bot, transcribes it with each speaker labeled, then extracts the hiring facts, summarizes each answer, and drafts the scores and recommendation from the transcript. You review and edit instead of writing it from a blank page.
