Nearly half of companies operate fully remote or remote-first, transforming how teams hire and assess talent. While traditional in-person interviews and paper resumes still have their place, today's recruitment increasingly demands tools that work across time zones and borders.But remote hiring brings unique challenges. Talent teams must verify tech compatibility, maintain engagement standards, and evaluate candidates they'll never meet in person.

Your hiring process shapes candidates' perceptions more than you might think. According to iCIMS, 95% of candidates say that how they're treated during the application process reflects how they would be treated as an employee. For hiring teams, there's a clear way to measure and improve these critical interactions—candidate NPS (net promoter score).

Between 85% and 97% of hiring managers still rely on gut instinct when deciding which candidates to advance. But relying on gut instinct has significant drawbacks. Not only can unconscious bias influence decisions, but it can lead to legal risks and damage your employer brand. Scorecards are a great way to bring objectivity into the mix. They let you evaluate all candidates using the same criteria, ensuring the best fit makes it to the next stage.In this Willo article, we’ll walk you through different scorecard templates to help you assess candidates fairly (and even show you how to create your own).
