Run a Hiring Committee session
Evaluate a candidate as a committee — live voting, consensus scoring, and a decision trail you can defend later.
Prerequisites: your account is associated with a company, and the candidate you want to evaluate has reached the committee review stage of your pipeline.
How committee sessions work
The Hiring Committee lives in the Partner Hub under the Intelligence group, in the Committee tab. Voting sessions are created when a candidate reaches the committee review stage, and the portal splits them into Active Sessions (voting in progress) and Past Sessions (completed). Each session is named for the candidate and the job title, so a committee member can find their assignment at a glance.
Open an active session
From the sessions list, select a card under Active Sessions. Cards show the candidate name, job title, and a status badge — Active while voting is in progress, Completed once the session ends.
Review the aggregated scorecards
Inside the session you see the aggregated scorecard view for the candidate's application: every committee member's structured feedback rolled into one comparison, so the group debates the same evidence rather than separate impressions.
Cast votes in the live voting panel
Each member records their evaluation in the live voting panel. Votes are tied to the application, so the consensus picture builds in real time as members submit. The committee roster panel shows who is on the committee and who has voted.
End the session
When the committee has reached a decision, the session owner selects End Session. The session moves to Past Sessions with the status "Session completed", and the outcome feeds back into your pipeline.
Consensus scoring and calibration
Beyond individual sessions, the Committee tab gives you calibration analytics across reviewers: the Team Average Score, the total number of scorecards submitted, and Calibration Alerts that flag high-variance reviewers — people whose scores consistently diverge from the group. Use these alerts as a coaching prompt, not a penalty; a high-variance reviewer may be seeing something the group misses, or may need a refresher on your scoring anchors.
Audit trail
Every committee decision is captured in a decision audit trail: who evaluated, how they scored, and when the session concluded. This protects your team in two directions — it documents that decisions followed a structured process, and it lets you revisit the reasoning months later when you review hiring quality.
Empty list is normal at first
If you see "No active voting sessions", no candidate has reached the committee review stage yet. Sessions appear automatically as candidates advance through your pipeline.
