Challenge

Different panels graded differently across regions, so the same submission could pass in one office and fail in another.

Approach

A shared rubric plus an iteration timeline gave every reviewer the full story — prompts, edits, and trade-offs — for calibrated, defensible decisions.

Distributed hiring across US and India delivery centers created a fairness problem: the same candidate could pass in one region and fail in another, purely because panels graded differently.

The problem: inconsistent bars

Without a shared view of how a candidate worked, reviewers fell back on instinct — and instinct varied by office, by interviewer, and by day.

The shift: shared evidence, shared rubric

A common rubric paired with an iteration timeline gave every reviewer the full story — prompts, edits, test runs, and trade-offs — so decisions were calibrated and defensible.

The outcome

A single consistent bar across regions, 38% higher reviewer agreement, and 29% faster time-to-offer — fairer for candidates and faster for the business.
