Calculating evaluation questions scores
Here's an example of how evaluation questions scores are calculated.
A recruiter creates an Account Executive position and associates three multiple choice questions.
| Evaluation weight | Maximum points available | Possible answers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Question 1 | 100 | 100 | Response A=100 points Response B=50 points Response C=0 points |
| Question 2 | 75 | 75 | Response A=75 points Response B=0 points |
| Question 3 | 50 | 50 | Response A=50 points Response B=25 points Response C=0 points |
A candidate submits a resume for the Account Executive position and provides the following responses:
- Question 1 – Response C
- Question 2 – Response A
- Question 3 – Response B
Evaluation score=Total number of evaluation points/Total number of evaluation points available.
For this candidate:
(Response C/Question 1) 0 + (Response A/Question 2) 75 + (Response/Question 3) 25 = 100
Divide by
(Evaluation Weight/Question 1) 100 + (Evaluation Weight/Question 2) 75 + (Evaluation Weight/Question 3) 50 = 225
equals (=)
100/225=.44 or 44 percent
.44 is the number that is shown in the Evaluations tab when viewing this candidate's candidate profile.
