Interview Score: interview evaluation and score table

In an interview campaign, the pay, experience and shift targets are defined once. During the interview, each answer is entered next to its target and checked instantly. The Score Table (Skor Tablosu) ranks candidates out of 100 and keeps the name of the interviewer who entered each answer. Smart Suggestions (Akıllı Öneriler) proposes a candidate held in reserve in an earlier campaign for the same department.

Interview evaluation criteria and company targets are set in the campaign

In Interview Campaigns (Mülakat Kampanyaları), the campaign name, department and job title are entered. Targets such as pay expectation, total experience and shift availability are defined once, and the questions to ask are checked in the question pool.

Experience, shift and language requirements compared with the target

Pay expectation, total and industry experience, shift fit, travel restrictions, military service, foreign languages, education, driver's license, references and start date are entered next to the target. The form instantly states whether the expectation is met.

Interview scoring scale: 1–5 scored questions and decision

Communication skills, motivation and overall assessment are scored from 1 to 5; the scale runs Very Weak, Weak, Average, Good and Very Good. Answers are saved as a draft or with a Positive, Negative, Reserve or On Hold decision. A free interview can also be held for a single candidate without opening a campaign.

Interview scorecard: ranking candidates out of 100

The Score Table (Skor Tablosu) in Campaign Details (Kampanya Detayı) ranks candidates by a score out of 100 calculated from scored questions and information questions that meet the target. The name of the interviewer who entered each answer appears next to it.

Talent pool: reserve candidate suggestions and campaign closing

Smart Suggestions (Akıllı Öneriler) shows candidates kept in reserve in the same department's past campaigns with their previous scores. A campaign is closed for reasons such as candidate found in the pool, position closed or budget frozen, and can be reopened if needed.

How it works

  1. In Interview Campaigns (Mülakat Kampanyaları), you right-click to open a new campaign and select the department and job title.
  2. You mark information questions such as salary, total experience and shift compatibility, and enter the company's target once.
  3. On the candidate's row, you select the campaign with "Add to Interview" ("Mülakata Ekle"); the form shows only that campaign's questions.
  4. You enter each answer next to the target, and the system immediately shows whether it meets the target; you save the scores and the outcome.
  5. In Campaign Details (Kampanya Detayı), the Score Table (Skor Tablosu) ranks candidates by score; Smart Suggestions (Akıllı Öneriler) brings up reserve candidates from earlier campaigns.
