Recruitera's evaluation form templates let Admins create structured scoring sheets that hiring managers and interviewers use to assess candidates consistently. Instead of collecting informal feedback in comments, evaluation forms ensure every interviewer scores the same criteria — producing comparable, reportable data across your entire pipeline. This is an Admin-only action in Recruitera.

How to create an evaluation form in Recruitera
Go to Settings → Templates → Evaluation Forms.
Click + New Evaluation Form.
Enter a Form Name (e.g. "Technical Interview Scorecard", "Competency Assessment", "Final Round Evaluation").
Add your evaluation criteria. Supported question types:
Rating Scale — score a criterion on a numeric scale (e.g. 1–5 or 1–10)
Short Answer — interviewer writes a brief observation
Long Answer — interviewer writes a detailed assessment
Yes / No — pass/fail criterion
Multiple Choice — select from predefined options
Set the weight of each criterion if you want Recruitera to calculate a weighted total score automatically.
Mark criteria as Required so interviewers cannot submit without completing them.
Click Save Form.
💡 Recruitera calculates an overall candidate score automatically based on the weights you set — so every evaluation produces a comparable, objective score without manual calculation.
How evaluation forms are used in Recruitera
Evaluation forms can be assigned to interviewers from a candidate's profile using the Assign Evaluation feature, or added as an automated action in a pipeline stage. When an interviewer completes the form, their scores and comments are saved in the candidate profile under the Evaluation tab — visible to Admins and Recruiters for comparison across all evaluators.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a structured interview scorecard in Recruitera?
To create a structured interview scorecard in Recruitera, go to Settings → Templates → Evaluation Forms and click New Evaluation Form. Add rating scale criteria for each competency you want to assess — for example Technical Skills, Communication, Problem Solving — and set weights for each. Add short answer fields for qualitative observations. Save the form and assign it to interviewers from candidate profiles or as an automated pipeline action. Recruitera calculates a weighted total score automatically.
Can different interviewers use the same evaluation form in Recruitera?
Recruitera supports assigning the same evaluation form to multiple interviewers for the same candidate. Each interviewer submits their own independent assessment — their individual scores and comments are all saved separately in the candidate's Evaluation tab. Admins and Recruiters can compare evaluations side by side to see how different interviewers scored the same candidate on the same criteria, making panel interview decisions more structured and fair.
What is the difference between an evaluation form and a questionnaire in Recruitera?
In Recruitera, evaluation forms are completed by interviewers and hiring managers to assess candidates internally — they are not seen by candidates. Questionnaires are sent to candidates as part of the application or pipeline flow, asking them to answer questions directly. Evaluation forms appear in the candidate's Evaluation tab visible to the hiring team. Questionnaire responses appear in the candidate's Questionnaires tab and are submitted by the candidate themselves.
