The Structured Rubric

WHAT IT IS

A structured rubric means every candidate is judged against the same pre-agreed behaviours, using the same core questions. You are not deciding whether you enjoyed the conversation. You are collecting comparable evidence of how this person has actually worked.

WHY IT MATTERS

Unstructured interviews reward fluency and similarity to the interviewer. Structure rewards what the candidate has done — which is what you're actually hiring.
