When assessing candidates, please remember...

• We want every candidate to leave the interview process having a better impression than before they started, regardless of the outcome of the interviews. Interviewers act as ambassadors of the company.
• An interview is not an exam, it's a two-way conversation to determine if there's mutual fit between the candidate and the role we're hiring for. The focus of the interview is on assessing this fit.
• Conversational interviews are structured interviews designed to gain specific information about the candidate to assess their fit for the role. Conversational behavioral interviews are not "softer" or "easier" than technical interviews, just as technical interviews are not more "rational" or "objective" than behavioral interviews.

How to Use the Assessment Criteria

Select the view corresponding to the interview you're conducting, which will filter the attributes to the ones that are relevant to your interview. These attributes are highlighted in Yellow in your Greenhouse scorecard.

Do your best to get a read on each attribute, and only score attributes you get a good read on, while leaving remaining attributes blank.

Grading guidelines per attribute

⭐ Strong Yes: candidate exhibits behavior in the Strong Yes and Yes columns.

👍 Yes: candidate exhibits behavior listed in the Yes column.

➖ Mixed: Try to avoid using this grade. If you're on the fence, try to gather more evidence to go one way or the other. By default, negative signal overrides.

👎 No: candidate does not exhibit sufficient aspects of Yes column.

❌ Strong No: candidate exhibits behavior in the Strong No column or does not meet any of the behavior in the Yes column.
