Scorecard
See your hiring process the way candidates experience it, identify the friction that costs you talent, and choose the first three improvements to make.
Stop guessing where candidates lose trust.
The scorecard turns a fuzzy question into a shared working session. Use it as a solo audit, or have a recruiter, hiring manager, and business leader score the same process independently.
Application & expectations
Can a candidate understand the opportunity before they invest their time?
Communication & respect
Does every touchpoint feel considered, timely, and human?
Interviews & evaluation
Is the process consistent enough to build confidence in your decision?
Decision & offer
Do great candidates know where they stand — and why they should say yes?
Closure & improvement
Do you learn from the experience, including the candidates you do not hire?
A score is only useful when it tells you what to do next.
The final pages translate your total into a clear read on candidate experience — then give you room to name the first three fixes, owners, dates, and proof of change.
Five lenses
Move beyond a single satisfaction score with a view across the moments that shape trust.
Scoring guidance
Interpret 0–50 points with language that makes the result easy to share.
Three first fixes
Leave with a short, accountable list instead of a report that sits in a folder.
