Scorecard Assist

Last updated: January 28, 2026

This feature is part of the AI Add-on. For more information, see 📄 HackerRank AI Add-on.

Scorecard Assist uses AI to automatically generate a scorecard after each interview. It extracts insights from:

  • Interview transcription

  • Code replay

  • Test case runs

  • Interviewer notes

Transcriptions play a key role in powering Scorecard Assist. The scorecard appears in the interview report.

Interviewers often find it tedious to fill out scorecards, and talent partners frequently need to follow up to get them done. Scorecard Assist streamlines this process, allowing interviewers to fill out scorecards faster and with less effort. It also speeds up hiring decisions and improves the candidate experience by enabling faster feedback.

Note: The Scorecard Assist currently supports the following question types:

  • Coding

  • Whiteboard

  • Projects

    • Frontend

    • Backend

    • Full-Stack

    • Mobile

  • Code Repository

Using Scorecard Assist

You can complete scorecards in two ways:

  • Per comment box

    • View suggestions for each comment box individually.

    • Accept, reject, or edit the content as needed.

  • Autofill entire scorecard

    • Preview all suggested comments across the scorecard at once.

    • Accept or reject suggestions in bulk.

All suggestions are editable, giving interviewers flexibility to add their own notes before submitting the scorecard.

Post-Interview workflow

The system sends a scorecard summary email immediately after the interview. From the email, you can:

  • Redirect to the HackerRank report to complete or edit the scorecard using Scorecard Assist.

ATS integration

Interviewer experience

  • During Interview setup: Transcription remains inactive when the interviewer sets up an interview, even if it is enabled at the global level.

  • During the Interview: 

    • If the interviewer has not granted microphone access, the system prompts them to enable it for transcription. 

    • After microphone access is granted, transcription activates only when the candidate joins the interview and enables their microphone.

  • After the Interview: 

    • The interviewer can review AI-suggested comments in the scorecard. 

    • The scorecard can be filled section by section or autofilled entirely, based on preference. 

    • The interviewer also receives a summary email with scorecard suggestions and quick actions to finalize the report.

Candidate experience

  • Transcription activates only when the candidate joins and enables their microphone. No additional action is required.

  • Transcription runs passively in the background, providing a seamless experience.
