Question
Using a scoring system in the hiring process has several benefits. It helps to eliminate bias and interpretation by providing a concrete, measurable rubric for each question. This prevents different interviewers from interpreting a candidate's answers differently. Instead of asking interviewers to recommend hire or don't hire, they are asked to assess whether a candidate meets the company's standards. This gives the team a more accurate picture of each candidate and helps to eliminate disparities between different interviewers.

One great way to eliminate bias and interpretation is to institute a system for candidate scoring. Don't allow the interviewer to interpret how well a candidate answered a question differently than another interviewer. Instead, create a points system or a satisfactory/unsatisfactory scoring system for each question based on a concrete, measurable rubric. Instead of asking interviewers to recommend "hire" or "don't hire," ask them to assess whether a candidate meets the company's standards. These will help to eliminate the disparities between different interviewers and give the team a more accurate picture of each candidate.
