Free Printable Interview Scorecard - Competency Rating PDF

An interview scorecard for evidence-based hiring notes

An interview scorecard helps hiring teams compare candidates against job-related competencies instead of relying only on memory or general impressions.

Evidence is separated from Rating so interviewers can record what the candidate said or demonstrated before making a recommendation.

Use this printable with structured interview questions, consistent evaluation criteria, privacy rules, and applicable anti-discrimination requirements.

Practical setup tips

Before printing the Interview Scorecard, decide what one row represents and how often the page will be reviewed. That keeps the sheet from becoming a catch-all notes page and makes the finished record easier to compare with similar pages in the same binder or workflow.

• Competency should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Question / signal should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Rating should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Evidence should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Concern should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Recommendation should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.

If the printable is part of a formal, financial, medical, legal, or compliance workflow, use it as a planning and note-taking aid alongside the official system or professional guidance that applies to your situation.
