Calibre
Hiring decision diagnostic

Make hiring decisions on
evidence, not instinct.

Calibre gives every reviewer the same scorecard, reading guide, and calibration process — so candidates are judged by one shared standard.

The Core Idea
“The decision wasn't about the candidate. It was about who happened to read it. Calibre makes evaluation criteria explicit, comparable, and defensible.”

The Calibre method, by Daftar

The Method

Four steps from opinion to evidence.

Four steps move a team from gut feel to a shared, evidence-based standard — so two reviewers reading the same candidate start from the same facts.

1

Read

Use a role-specific guide to identify the evidence that matters.

2

Score

Turn observations into comparable scores.

3

Compare

See where reviewers agree — and where they do not.

4

Calibrate

Resolve differences and reach one decision.
