Resume claim to verify
Copy the statement to examine. Do not treat it as established fact.
RoleProbe design choice

Interview scorecard template with evidence notes and behavioral anchors
Download a structured interview scorecard that keeps the resume claim, job-related competency, fixed question, evidence notes and rating rationale in separate fields.

The template pairs job-related competencies with predetermined questions, separate evidence-note fields and shared behavioral anchors; it does not produce an automated hiring decision.

Blank worksheet
Edit a scorecard in the browser
Use one row per job-related competency. Browser edits are temporary; download the CSV when you need a file you can save and share.
Reuse the structure, not the content. Define the competencies, questions and anchors for one job and one versioned interview process, then ask those core questions consistently within that process.
Keep notes to observable, job-related answer evidence. Do not record protected characteristics, medical details, appearance, accent, voice, personality or writing-style impressions.
Evidence ledger
Where every field comes from
Source components and RoleProbe design choices are labeled separately. The sources support interview structure; they do not validate this generic template for a particular employer or role.
Job-related competency
Name the competency established for this role through job analysis.
Source component
Job-related competency
OPM guidance starts structured-interview development from competencies tied to the job.
Source keys: source-opm-structured-interviews, source-opm-practical-guide
Predetermined core question
Ask every candidate for this role the same core question.
Source component
Standardized question
The cited guidance and review treat consistent questions as a component of interview structure.
Source keys: source-opm-structured-interviews, source-campion-review
Evidence notes
Record observable answer content, missing detail and requested records.
RoleProbe design choice
Evidence-note field
RoleProbe makes the evidence record explicit so it does not collapse into the rating.
Behavioral anchor 1
Define observable answer characteristics for score 1.
Source component
Shared rating benchmark
The sources support common rating standards and behaviorally specific benchmarks.
Source keys: source-opm-structured-interviews, source-opm-practical-guide, source-campion-review
Behavioral anchor 3
Define observable answer characteristics for score 3.
Source component
Shared rating benchmark
The sources support common rating standards and behaviorally specific benchmarks.
Source keys: source-opm-structured-interviews, source-opm-practical-guide, source-campion-review
Behavioral anchor 5
Define observable answer characteristics for score 5.
Source component
Shared rating benchmark
The sources support common rating standards and behaviorally specific benchmarks.
Source keys: source-opm-structured-interviews, source-opm-practical-guide, source-campion-review
Independent rating (1–5)
Each trained rater records a score before panel discussion.
Source component
Independent structured scoring
The sources support structured administration and independent rating before score reconciliation.
Source keys: source-opm-practical-guide, source-campion-review
Rating rationale
Tie the rating to the notes and the selected anchor.
RoleProbe design choice
Rating-to-evidence link
RoleProbe adds a written rationale to make the score traceable to recorded evidence.
Panel discussion notes
After independent ratings, record discrepancies and follow-up needs.
Accountable-use safeguard
Post-rating panel record
RoleProbe separates panel reconciliation from each rater’s original score to preserve human accountability.

Synthetic worked example
One completed row, with the decision left out
This non-sensitive example is fictional. It demonstrates field use, not a real candidate result or a validated scoring outcome.
Do not adopt its competency, question or anchors for real hiring without job analysis, rater preparation and local review.
Claim to verify
Redesigned a trial-to-sales handoff and improved conversion.
Job-related competency
Experiment planning and measurement
Predetermined core question
Tell us about one handoff experiment you personally planned. What was the baseline, what changed and what evidence shaped your next decision?
Evidence notes
The candidate named an 18% baseline, described the decision to remove one step and explained a trade-off: fewer low-intent trials reached sales. A contemporaneous experiment record was not available in the interview.
Anchor 1
Cannot separate personal action from team activity; gives no baseline, decision logic or trade-off.
Anchor 3
Names the baseline and personal decision and explains one trade-off; supporting records remain incomplete.
Anchor 5
Separates personal action, baseline, time window, decision logic and trade-offs and provides reviewable records.
Independent rating
3
Rating rationale
The answer matches anchor 3: specific baseline, action and trade-off, with incomplete supporting records.
Panel notes
After all raters recorded scores, the panel listed one follow-up request. No employment decision is recorded here.

Accountable use
What this scorecard does not establish
- This generic template is not validated for a particular employer, job or applicant population.
- A real process still needs current job analysis, trained raters and local review.
- Do not score protected traits or infer personality or truth from voice, face or writing style.
- A resume claim is a prompt for verification, not evidence that the claim is true or false.
- The scorecard does not make or recommend an employment decision.
