2
Dimension scores are averaged
For each dimension, we average your scores across all questions.
Example: 3 Questions InterviewQ1 ScoreQ2 ScoreQ3 ScoreAverage Score
Technical Competency80707575/100
Reasoning68657168/100
Communication72707171/100
These are your final average scores for each dimension.
3
Recruiter weights are applied
Recruiters decide how important each dimension is for the role.
Recruiter Weight Example
Technical Competency
Weight
50%
Reasoning
Weight
30%
Communication
Weight
20%
Total Weight
100%
Weights always add up to 100%
4
Final score is calculated
We multiply each average score by its weight and add them together.
Score Calculation
Technical Competency
75 x 50%
= 37.5
Reasoning
68 x 30%
= 20.4
Communication
71 x 20%
= 14.2
Final Score
72.1
≈ 72/100
Formula: Final Score = (Technical x Technical Weight) + (Reasoning x Problem Weight) + (Communication x Communication Weight)
