Program Setup Checklist
1. Define Program Objectives
Clearly outline what makes a successful candidate and align these goals with your organization's broader mission.
2. Establish the Grading Rubric
Create a standardized, 1-to-5 or 1-to-10 scoring scale with clear benchmark definitions to minimize subjectivity in judging.
3. Build the Application Portal
Set up a clean, user-friendly submission form that automatically captures all required applicant data in one place.
4. Select and Assign Judges
Group your reviewers by expertise and use an automated system to seamlessly route the right applications to the right judges.
5. Run a "Dry Run" Test
Submit a test application and score it yourself to ensure the side-by-side view, rubric math, and final data sync are working perfectly.
