What are Scorecards?
An interview scorecard is a set of factors that you would like to assess the candidate on, and enables you to create a structured, standardised way of assessing a candidate.
A scorecard is assigned to an interview stage so you might want to have one for each interview type you have.

Weighted Values
These allow you to let some answers have a larger 'weighting' than other answers. We can see below the 'Clarity when speaking' example with 3 dots next to it meaning it has a weighted value of 3 (aka 3 times as important than being Articulate).
This will show up in the scorecards menu for a job, where you can see the final score. This is shown when you hover over the 'overall score', as shown here:
