Hiring teams often face challenges in maintaining consistency and collaboration when evaluating candidates. This can lead to misalignment in hiring decisions and a lack of standardized evaluation processes, which may introduce bias and hinder fair assessments. Scorecards help solve these challenges by providing a standardized, customizable tool for evaluating candidates.

• When creating a job, you can attach a scorecard during the job setup process.
• Scorecards can be attached to one or more jobs and toggled on or off for each job.
• Each scorecard shows details such as the creator, the date it was updated, and associated jobs (active or inactive).
• You can edit, delete, or clone existing scorecards at any time.

Create scorecards

1. In Spark Hire, go to Library > Scorecards.

2. Click Create New Scorecard at the top of the page.

   • Enter a name for the scorecard.
   • Add the trait you want to evaluate candidates on, including a name and an optional description to give more context. You can add as many as necessary by clicking ➕ Add trait.

   

3. Click Save. Then, set up the scorecard's permissions:
   • Choose the manager who will be listed as the scorecard's creator. By default, your name will appear.
   • Set visibility options:
     • Everyone – All users can view and use the scorecard.
     • Manager only – Only the selected manager can access the scorecard.
     • Specific people – Specify individual users or groups who can access the scorecard.
4. Click Create.

Edit, delete, and clone scorecards

You can edit, delete, or clone scorecards from your library. You can also set permissions to control who can view and use the scorecards.

1. From the left-side menu, select Library > Scorecards.

   1. To edit a scorecard: Click Edit on the scorecard you’d like to modify. On the following page, change the scorecard’s name, description, and order of traits as necessary. Save your changes when you’re done.

      

   2. To delete a scorecard: Click the ✖️ icon on the scorecard’s card and confirm when prompted.

      

      To delete multiple scorecards simultaneously, select the scorecards and click the trash can icon at the top.

      

   3. To clone a scorecard: Click the clone icon and confirm when prompted. An identical scorecard will be created, and you'll be redirected to the edit page where you can make any necessary modifications. Save your changes when you’re done.

      

Add scorecards to jobs

Set the default scorecard at the company level

Admins can set default scorecards at the company level so that all new jobs automatically include them.

1. Go to Jobs management > Job settings.
2. Scroll down to Scorecard and select the scorecard you want as the default.
3. Save your changes.

Override the default scorecard at the job level

Even with a default, scorecards can be changed or removed for individual jobs. This lets you customize evaluations for specific roles while keeping a standard in place for most jobs.

1. Go to the Assessments tab of the relevant job.
2. Scroll down to Scorecard and open the dropdown to select a different scorecard than the company default.
3. Click Save to apply the change to this job only.

Use scorecards on the Assessment viewer

Scorecards are integrated into the Assessment viewer. Within the page, interviewers can submit or update their evaluations.
