Interview Calibration
Process of aligning interviewers on scoring standards.
Calibration sessions compare scores across interviewers on the same candidates and adjust for drift. Without it, scoring rubrics drift apart within months and the structured interview format loses its predictive power.
The minimum effective dose: quarterly calibration meetings per interview loop, where 2–3 recent candidates are re-scored as a group and disagreements are surfaced. New interviewers shadow at least two debriefs before scoring solo.
Keep going. Cross-pollinate.
Structured interviews predict performance 2.5× better than unstructured. Here's the rubric format we ship with Screeq, the calibration cadence, and the failure modes to avoid.
Interview with predefined questions and a scoring rubric, scored independently per dimension.
We're hiring a Recruiting Coordinator to keep interview operations running flawlessly. You'll work in a small, senior team that ships, owns its outcomes, and treats teammates and candidates with respect.
Twenty structured interview questions for Software Engineer roles, mixing behavioural, technical, situational, and values. Score 1–5 per question, calibrate independently before debate.
Engineering hiring is structured-interview-heavy and signal-poor. Screeq's rubric-first interview workflow and AI scoring fit how tech actually hires.
HireVue pioneered async video interviews. It's a feature, not a platform — and you'll need an ATS and an HRIS around it.
