How do I get my first scorecards?

Create a role, approve its rubric, then either collect applications or upload a batch. Nothing is scored until you approve the rubric.

The order matters

A rubric belongs to a role, and scoring runs against the rubric. So the sequence is always: create the role, approve its rubric, then bring in applicants. Uploading candidates before the rubric exists is the most common reason a batch sits unscored.

  • Create the role — title, description and requirements.
  • Review the drafted rubric. Adjust criteria, weights and the minimum score.
  • Approve it. This is the step people skip.
  • Collect applications on your page, or upload a CSV and resume archive.
  • Read the ranked list. Every score carries per-criterion reasoning.

What the first run costs

One credit per applicant analysed. The Free plan includes 20 credits, which is enough to score a small first batch end to end and decide whether the ranking matches your judgement.

Re-opening a scorecard you have already generated is free, forever. You are charged for analysis, not for reading.
