PODSCORE

How PodScore works

A single, defensible number for every hiring pod. Built for enterprise teams running 5 to 15 reqs at a time.

THE THREE METRICS

What goes into the score

40%
of score

Feedback timeliness

Measures hours between interview completion and feedback submission. Low severity is under 48 hours. Medium is 48 to 72 hours. High severity is over 72 hours or missing entirely. Each interviewer is scored independently so you can see exactly who is creating the delay.

Stage velocity

Measures days a candidate sits in each hiring stage before moving forward. Low severity is under 7 days. Medium is 7 to 14 days. High severity is over 14 days. Penalties are workload-normalized so recruiters carrying 15 reqs are scored fairly against recruiters carrying 5.
