The scorecard changes after the interview
A new scorecard can quietly change the hiring question. After fictional interviews finish, Otto drafts a cleaner evaluation sheet that adds executive presence as a heavily weighted category. Casey likes its tidy layout. Ollie compares it with the original brief: the panel never asked candidates for evidence against that category.
Why it looked good
The revised sheet looks more complete. Adding a category afterward makes the same interviews answer a different question.
Q1 · What is this really for?
What did we agree to assess for this role before the interviews began?
Q2 · Who decides, and did they?
Who can change the evaluation criteria, and have they decided how every candidate will be assessed consistently?
The next move
Ollie preserves the original ratings and flags the new category as a proposal. Casey settles the assessment approach before anyone reranks candidates.
