The new Interview Scorecard feature helps recruiters bring structure, consistency and clarity to candidate evaluations.

What Are Interview Scorecards?

Interview Scorecards allow you to rate candidates during or after a Honeit call using predefined competency categories. These structured ratings are tied to your job description and screening goals, helping teams assess candidates on real interview answers, not just resumes.

Interview scorecards are fully customizable per account, including categories (e.g. Cultural, Technical, Industry, Behavioral) and scoring formats (e.g. numbers, stars). Recruiters rate each answer as they go and Honeit automatically calculates an average score to display on the final candidate presentation.

Example of Core Competency Categories:

  • Cultural Fit – Values and team alignment

  • Technical Skills – Job-specific knowledge

  • Industry Know-How – Tools, trends, domain expertise

  • Behavioral Competencies – Problem-solving and soft skills

You’ll see an average score, breakdown by category and direct links to the candidate’s recorded responses and soundbites.

How to Set Up and Use Scorecards

1. Let Us Know You’d Like to Use Scorecards

To get started, email us at support@honeit.com and let us know you'd like to enable Interview Scorecards. Please include:

  • Your preferred scoring scale (e.g. stars, 1–5, 1–10)

  • Your competency categories (or confirm you'd like to use Honeit’s defaults)

  • Any weights you'd like assigned to each category (e.g. Technical = 40%, Culture = 20%)

Once we receive your preferences, we’ll customize your company account accordingly and let you know when scorecards are ready to use.

2. Use a Call Guide with Scoring-Enabled Questions

To use Interview Scorecards, you must use a Call Guide and each question in the guide must have a competency category assigned in order to be scored. This ensures your scorecard is structured and tied to the correct categories during the interview.

If you need help creating or editing a guide with scoring questions, just reach out — we’re happy to assist!

3. Score During or After the Call

Use the scoring system configured for your account (e.g. stars, 1–5, 1–10, etc.) to rate responses either:

  • During the interview in the Interview Dashboard

  • After the call on the Call Details Page

You can also:

  • Select N/A for questions that don’t apply

  • Add notes to provide additional context

All scores are saved automatically and included in the candidate’s presentation once submitted.

4. Submit & Share

  • Once scoring is complete, the results are embedded directly into the candidate’s presentation.
