What is an evaluation question?
When your reviewers assess a candidate, there are two main ways they provide feedback:
Code Review – Reviewers can leave line-by-line comments and optionally share them anonymously with the candidate.
Evaluation Questions – These are structured questions that your company defines. Reviewers answer them by scoring each one from 1 to 5.
For example, for a backend task, you might include a question like:
“Did the candidate follow SOLID principles?”
If this is something your company values, and most reviewers give a low score for it, it can serve as a strong signal in your hiring decision.
⚠️ Answers to evaluation questions are internal-only. Candidates are not aware that these questions exist, and they will never see the scores or responses.
General evaluation questions are reusable questions that appear in every assessment — before any task-specific questions. They help your team establish a consistent evaluation process across all candidates.
