How are candidates scored across the HiringPartner pipeline?

Question

Accepted Answer

HiringPartner produces scores at each phase that combine into a final composite score:

**Phase 1 — Resume Score (0–100):** How closely the candidate's background matches your job criteria. Candidates must exceed the configured threshold (default: 40/100) to advance to Phase 2.

**Phase 2 — Call Score (0–100):** Based on the AI phone screen or email form — interest level, response quality, and role fit signals. Must exceed the Phase 2 threshold (default: 40/100) to advance to Phase 3.

**Phase 3 — Interview Score (0–100):** The most detailed stage. The AI assesses candidates across four specific dimensions:
- **Technical Score:** domain knowledge and role-specific competency
- **Communication Score:** clarity, structure, and articulation
- **Problem-Solving Score:** analytical thinking and approach to challenges
- **Cultural Fit Score:** alignment with role context and working style

**Composite Score:** A weighted combination of all phase scores, producing a single ranking number for the full pipeline.

Candidates who do not meet the threshold at any phase are marked **REJECTED** and do not advance further.
