About this template

Sales hires get decided on charm — the skill that most reliably tests itself in an interview. This scorecard evaluates candidates on the dimensions that predict ramp: coachability under feedback, quota-grade drive, structured communication, qualification instinct and resilience after loss. Interviewers score each candidate on the same weighted dimensions; the comparison and the AI report put evidence behind the hire decision, and put the loudest opinion in the room on record.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dimensions predict sales-hire success here?
Coachability under live feedback, evidence-backed drive, structured communication, qualification instinct and resilience — five behaviors measurable in an interview.
How is scoring handled?
Each interviewer rates independently; dimensions weight into a candidate profile and an AI report for the panel debrief.
Can I use the Sales Candidate Scoring for free?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace for any requisition.
Does this replace reference checks?
No — it structures the interview stage; references and the trial or take-home stage sit outside it.
Won't candidates fake five dimensions?
Coachability and instinct are behaviorally tested mid-interview and in role-play — the design assumes faking and samples past it.
