Selection Scorecard.

Score candidates on evidence against the profile, because the interview is where most hiring mistakes happen, on likeability and gut.

For each finalist, score against the profile, not against each other

Capability from the profile

Evidence from their experience

Score (strong / adequate / weak)

Then the three tests, the heart of a good hire

Capability: can they actually do the job? What is the evidence, not the claim?

Understanding: do they grasp what this role really involves, including the hard parts?

Desire: do they genuinely want this role and this mission, or just a job?

A strong yes on all three is a real candidate. A brilliant person who does not want this role, or does not understand it, is a future departure. Score the evidence, and be honest when no one clears the bar.
