What the score bands mean and how to use them when shortlisting.
📊 Score Bands
Outstanding – Top-tier alignment with the role. Standout candidates who meet or exceed most requirements.
Strong – High-quality candidates who meet most requirements and show clear potential.
Average – Partial fit. Candidates who meet some requirements but may lack depth in key areas.
Below Average – Limited fit. Usually missing important requirements.
Low – Very weak fit or missing most requirements.
⚖️ How Scores Are Calculated
Each candidate's final score reflects a balanced combination of three dimensions:
Excellence – Signals of leadership, growth, and overall strength of profile.
Past Roles – How well previous responsibilities align with the job description.
Competencies – Specific results and achievements relevant to the role.
📌 Tips for Recruiters
Focus on Outstanding and Strong bands first when shortlisting.
Use Average as a flexible category — you may still find hidden gems worth a closer look.
Treat Below Average / Low as deprioritized, but still review before final rejection.
