How to Set Up AI Scoring Criteria and Score Candidates

Configure AI scoring to automatically evaluate candidates based on your specific criteria.

What AI Scoring Does

AI scoring analyzes candidate information and provides:

• Overall score (0-100)
• Per-criterion scores
• Summary of strengths and weaknesses
• Detailed analysis for each criterion

Setting Up Scoring Criteria

1. Open a job
2. Go to the AI Scoring tab
3. Click Add new prompt
4. Write your scoring criterion
5. Set the importance weight (1-10)
6. Add 3-5 criteria total (recommended)

Writing Effective Criteria

Be specific about what you're evaluating. Example for a Sales Manager role:

Good criterion:

"Evaluate the candidate's B2B sales experience. Look for: quota achievement, deal sizes, sales cycle management, team leadership. Score 0 if no B2B experience, 50 if some experience without leadership, 100 if strong track record with team management."

Weak criterion:

"Good at sales"

Example Criteria Set

For a Senior Software Engineer:

1. Technical depth (weight: 10)

   "Assess programming language expertise and system design experience..."

2. Leadership experience (weight: 9)

   "Evaluate mentoring, code review, and team collaboration..."

3. Problem-solving (weight: 7)

   "Look for complex technical challenges solved..."

4. Communication (weight: 5)

   "Assess ability to explain technical concepts..."
