Fair Evaluations feature is only available for users under our Subscription Plan.
To enable fair evaluations follow these on Jobs:
Go to step four i.e. "Extras" while posting or editing a Job.
Toggle the switch under Fair evaluations to enable it for the job and click Save Changes
You can also extend permissions to "Interview" type roles to see evaluations submitted by other team members as per your hiring policy.
That's it you are done! Now evaluations will be hidden from the team members unless they submit their evaluation. Keeping the whole process fair.
While scheduling candidate interviews (using scheduling links or fixed date-time) you can select whether you want the interviewers to submit post-event evaluations. If you click the checkbox then all the interviewees will receive an email once the interview is over. They will be asked to evaluate the candidate.
You can also do this when you manually schedule an event.
Search for specific candidates and open their profiles. Go to the evaluation section and click on the “Request Evaluation”.
Now add the name of the team member from whom you want to request an evaluation.
Finally, click on “Send”
Evaluations are always available on each candidate’s profile, so evaluators can add feedback at any time.
Email
Every time a team member sends you an evaluation request you will receive an email notification. Through the link in the email body you could evaluate the candidate.
Through the homepage tab you can access Pending Tasks
All your pending evaluations are listed here and you could click on “Click here to view them”.
Once you click on the Evaluation link or search for specific candidate, following pop-up would appear to add your evaluation.
A text box will appear where you could describe your feedback about the candidate.
You can add the score to a candidate via the thumb symbol
All the past and pending evaluations requested by you as well as requested by your team members can be accessed on the evaluations dashboard.

Evaluation scores consist of a No, Not sure, Yes, and Strong yes rating scale.
Strong yes - 100%
Yes - 75%
Not sure - 50%
No - 0%
Adding up the evaluation scores done by each evaluator results in an Average either for current job or all the jobs will result in final evaluation.
Examples:
If a candidate has one "Strong yes" and one "Yes", they have an 88% positive evaluation.
If a candidate has one "Strong yes" and one "Not sure", they have a 75% positive evaluation.
If a candidate has two "No" evaluations, they have a 0% positive evaluation.
In case of 2 "strong yes", 2 "yes", 1 "Not sure", 1 "No" the overall score is 67%: (100 + 100 + 75 + 75 + 50 + 0) / 6 = 67% (rounded to next integer value)
