Free Interview Scorecard
Gut feel is hard to compare across candidates and across interviewers. This free interview scorecard fixes that: rate everyone 1–5 on the same criteria and it computes one weighted score, so two interviewers' numbers finally mean the same thing. Download it, score your shortlist, and let the best candidate rise to the top.

What it does
- Scores each candidate 1–5 on five criteria — Skills & Experience, Problem Solving, Communication, Role & Team Fit, and Motivation.
- Computes one weighted score per candidate, so you compare people on the same rubric instead of on memory.
- Lets you set how much each criterion counts on a Weights tab, and color-codes your recommendation.
- Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice — no macros, no signup, nothing saved anywhere but your own file. Includes a printable version.
Own it, don't rent it
Want the whole hiring pipeline, not just the scorecard?
This free scorecard is one tab from the full Job Applicant Tracker — which adds job openings, an applicant pipeline from New to Hired, an interviews log, offer tracking, and a live hiring dashboard, in one owned spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice) with four plain-English guides.
A one-time purchase you keep and reuse for every role — the structured hiring file between a blank spreadsheet and a rented per-seat applicant tracking system.
An organizing and record-keeping tool, not legal or HR advice, and not a guarantee of any hiring outcome. The example candidate is fictional and illustrative. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
