Who this template is for
Interview Feedback Scorecard is built for HR, people ops and hiring managers who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record.
- HR, people ops and hiring managers working in human resources.
- Teams who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are candidates and employees — the form asks them 16 questions across 3 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 10 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Overall recommendation” is Strong no, the form dynamically exposes “Reason for strong no (required)”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Overall recommendation” is Strong no, “Reason for strong no (required)” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
When every interviewer writes feedback in a different format, comparing candidates turns into reading five unstructured paragraphs and guessing at consensus. This scorecard fixes that by asking every interviewer the same weighted questions in the same order. It opens with the role and round being scored, then walks through a fixed set of criteria — technical or role skill, communication, problem-solving and culture add — each rated on the same numeric scale so scores are comparable across interviewers and across candidates. Because a single low score shouldn't be lost inside an average, each rating has a short comment field asking the interviewer to justify the number, which is what actually gets read in a debrief. The scores feed a straightforward weighted overall score so a hiring manager can see at a glance how a candidate scored relative to others in the same pipeline, without needing to manually average anyone's numbers. The recommendation question — strong yes through strong no — sits after the scores rather than before them, so interviewers rate first and conclude second, which produces more honest ratings. A strong no answer opens a required justification field, because a hard rejection needs a clear, specific reason attached before it goes into the candidate's file, not just a low number with no explanation.

How the form changes as it's filled in
This template ships with 2 conditional rules, grouped into 2 behaviours driven by 1 question. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.
Driven by “Overall recommendation”

If “Overall recommendation” is Strong no, the form reveals “Reason for strong no (required)”.
- Makes answers required
If “Overall recommendation” is Strong no, “Reason for strong no (required)” becomes required before the form can be submitted.
Set it up step by step
- 1
Send this right after each interview
Ask interviewers to submit their scorecard the same day so specifics aren't lost by the time the panel debriefs.
- 2
Compare weighted scores, not gut feel
Use the calculated overall score to line candidates up side by side before the debrief conversation starts.
- 3
Read every strong-no justification aloud in debrief
A hard rejection needs its reasoning heard by the full panel, not just filed away as a low number.
- 4
Watch for score inflation across interviewers
If one interviewer's average is consistently a point higher than everyone else's, calibrate their scale in the next hiring sync.
Mistakes to avoid
- Letting interviewers give an overall recommendation before scoring individual criteria, which anchors every rating to a first impression.
- Averaging scores without ever reading the comment fields that explain them.
- Not requiring a reason for a strong no, leaving a rejection with no record of why.
What it pairs with

What to do with the responses
Compile scorecards by candidate as interviews finish, review the calculated overall score alongside written notes before the hiring debrief, and archive strong-no justifications with the candidate record.

Frequently asked questions
How is the overall score calculated?
It's a straightforward average of the four scored criteria, weighted equally by default — adjust the weighting in your scoring sheet if one criterion matters more for a given role.
Can I add role-specific criteria?
Yes — duplicate one of the scored criteria pairs and rename it, for example swapping 'technical skill' for a skill specific to the role you're hiring for.
Should every interviewer see the candidate's other scores before submitting?
No — collect each interviewer's scorecard independently so ratings aren't influenced by what a colleague already said.
What happens with a 'strong no' response?
It automatically opens a required text field asking the interviewer to explain the reason, so every hard rejection has documented justification.
