Builds structured interview scorecards tied to role-specific signals to reduce bias and improve calibration. Use when opening a new role or auditing an existing interview loop for consistency.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hiring Scorecard Builder
Unstructured interviews have poor predictive validity and amplify the biases of whoever talks most. A scorecard forces interviewers to decide what matters before meeting the candidate and to gather evidence, not impressions.
## Step 1 - Define the Role's Top 4-6 Signals
Start from the first 90-day outcomes, not a list of desired traits. Ask: what does success look like concretely at 30, 60, and 90 days? Then work backward to the signals a candidate would have to demonstrate to make those outcomes likely. Good signals are observable in a conversation. Bad signals are adjectives ('smart', 'passionate', 'culture fit').
## Step 2 - Map Signals to Interview Slots
Each interviewer owns 1-2 signals. Never have two interviewers independently assess the same signal with no calibration plan - duplication wastes time and creates conflicting data. Assign technical depth signals to engineers, cross-functional signals to PMs or peers, and leadership/judgment signals to the hiring manager.
## Step 3 - Write the Scoring Rubric

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/hiring-scorecard@sha256:bdae350f4f706dfaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
