Candidate evidence in hiring

Candidate evidence is material a reviewer can inspect directly. It is stronger than polish alone because it gives the team work to read, question, and discuss.

Evidence should be inspectable

A resume claim can be useful context, but it is not the same as reading work. Better evidence gives reviewers something specific to inspect instead of relying only on polished application materials.

Evidence should be comparable

Comparability comes from giving reviewers a consistent basis for discussion. The review should compare evidence in the work, not make broad claims about the person.

Evidence should stay bounded

A review brief should say only what the work supports. When the evidence is limited, the brief should make that limitation visible instead of filling gaps with unsupported conclusions.
