Interview scores that point you to the transcript

Each report scores the interview on a 0 to 10 scale across five categories: Experience, Communication, Reliability, Coachability, and Technical Fit. The scores help you decide what to read first.

The problem

Why this is hard today

Ten interviews produce ten different impressions. A consistent scorecard gives you somewhere to start without pretending to decide for you.

What HarperHire does

  • Scores run from 0 to 10.
  • Scores are generated by software as review aids. They are not verified facts or predictions of success.
  • HarperHire does not judge personality, emotions, honesty, or protected characteristics.
  • Concerns to verify are things for you to check, not conclusions.
  • Employer review needed on every report.

Examples

Illustrative only. Edit the questions for your own roles.

Deciding whom to read first

Sort applicants by score, then read the top few transcripts closely.

Checking a surprise

A lower Reliability score sends you to the transcript, where you read the answer behind it and decide whether it matters for this role.

Explaining a choice

You keep the summary, strengths, and concerns next to your notes.

Sample interview questions

  • Why are you interested in this job?
  • Tell me about a time you were late or missed something. What happened?
  • What would a good first month look like?

You review every report and make the hiring decision. Scores are review aids, not verified facts.
