Recruiting Fundamentals
Make vs. No-Make Hiring Thresholds
A clear numeric cutoff (or set of cutoffs) on interview scorecards that decides when to extend an offer, continue interviewing, or pass.
"If I don't set a rule, hiring becomes whoever's favorite candidate that week — I need a fair, predictable decision line."
Make vs. No-Make thresholds are explicit score boundaries on structured interview scorecards that define which aggregate or rubric scores trigger a hire (make), which require more data/rounds, and which automatically rule out (no-make). They turn subjective impressions into repeatable decisions.
