Evaluation criteria are the foundation of how Hello Recruiter’s AI assesses candidates. Well-defined criteria lead to more accurate, fair, and consistent evaluations.
Setting Up Criteria
When creating a job, you’ll define criteria across key areas:
- Technical skills — Specific knowledge or abilities required for the role
- Experience — Relevant background and years of expertise
- Soft skills — Communication, leadership, problem-solving
- Cultural fit — Alignment with company values and team dynamics
Setting Weightages
Not all criteria are equally important. Assign weightages to prioritize what matters most:
- Higher-weighted criteria have a greater impact on the overall candidate score
- This helps surface candidates who excel in the areas you care about most
- The total of all weightages should equal 100%
Providing Guidance to the AI Evaluator
Help the AI make better assessments by supplying:
- Context about what “good” looks like for each criterion
- Examples of ideal responses or experiences
- Red flags that should lower scores
Write measurable criteria. Instead of “Good communicator,” try “Can explain complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.” Specific criteria lead to more accurate evaluations.
