New: Evidence compliance and fairly shortlist candidates with our Shortlisting Scorecard, designed for education recruitment

Education recruitment can be burdensome and tiring. Our new Scorecard streamlines your recruitment and evidences your shortlisting process.
27 Jan 26

If you hire for a school, then you know how complicated education recruitment can be. When you have many applications, following strict hiring processes and guidelines is burdensome. Shortlisting can be the most arduous part of education recruitment. Teams can feel overwhelmed and struggle evidencing fair shortlisting processes.

We鈥檙e launching our Shortlisting Scorecard to solve these challenges. Scorecard contains powerful new features that streamline your shortlisting process. Score candidates with accuracy and consistency. Evidence your compliance.

Consistent and fair shortlisting

We鈥檙e introducing customisable criteria so you can pick, choose and edit. Once you build your scorecard and launch a vacancy, your team cannot edit the scorecard. You treat every applicant the same when shortlisting.

You can answer each criterion four ways:

  • not evidenced

  • unsatisfactory

  • satisfactory

  • outstanding

You score every applicant against the same standard, evidencing fairness. Customise the scorecard based on role, regardless if you鈥檙e hiring a teacher, office staff or SLT.

Boosted collaboration and streamlined shortlisting

Evidence compliance and boost collaboration by tracking which team members have filled in a scorecard

There is no need to print out and share applications with your shortlisting panel. Team members can view an application and complete the corresponding scorecard. They can do this from separate devices, separate rooms or even separate schools at the same time.

The scorecard records:

  • Who answered

  • When they answered

  • How they have scored an application

  • Any extra notes they have added

The system then averages the scores to present a single grading of the application.

Shortlisting is faster, less burdensome and more collaborative.

Easier to evidence compliance

If you鈥檙e based in the UK and work in education recruitment, you must follow KCSIE guidelines. You should 鈥渆nsure that at least two people carry out the shortlisting exercise鈥.

Scorecard shows how many users have completed the shortlisting scorecard. You see how users scored an applicant and their extra commentary. When inspected, you can evidence that your shortlisting process meets local guidelines.
