What is on an interview scorecard?

Candidate, role, interviewer and date; the competencies for the role, each with a rating and the evidence heard; overall strengths and concerns; a recommendation; and next steps. This template carries all of them.

Can the competencies be changed per role?

Yes. The competency list is a field you set when you fill the card, or you keep a version of the template per role family.

Does Formatix rate the candidate?

No. The interviewer enters every rating and the evidence. Formatix fills the candidate's career facts from the CV and lays the card out.

No. The card is built in your brand inside Formatix; what you download is the completed scorecard as a Word document or PDF.

Interview scorecard template with competency ratings

An interview scorecard is the structured record of one interview: a rating against each competency in the role, the evidence the interviewer heard for it, overall strengths and concerns, and a recommendation to proceed or not. Used for every interviewer and every candidate, it makes decisions comparable and defensible. This Word template has the competency table with rating and evidence columns, and Formatix fills the candidate's career facts from the CV so the interviewer writes only the judgement.

A scorecard filled in from memory two days later is not evidence. One that is already set up with the candidate's details, the role's competencies and a place for the evidence under each is filled in during or straight after the interview, which is when it is worth anything.

Not a download. This is not a file to download. Formatix builds the template in your brand, with your logo, colours and fonts taken from your website, and fills it from a CV or from the notes you supply. What you keep is the finished document: an editable Word, PowerPoint or Excel file you can send as it is or change in Office.

Ask for changes in plain words, such as "move the photo to the right" or "add a Languages section", and the template is updated with the rest of its formatting kept. If you already have a document you send clients, upload that instead and Formatix turns it into a template. How Studio builds templates
