“Write the "what good looks like" column before you meet anyone. Score only on evidence you heard, and write the evidence down.”
Fill in each part
- Table Columns: Competency · What good looks like · Evidence heard · Score
- Rating scale Use the same four steps for every competency and every candidate.
Bring your team and your agents
Invite people to the board or share a link, and work on it together live. The timer is in the top bar, private mode and voting in the board menu, and Claude or ChatGPT can join through Freero’s MCP server.

Work on it with an AI agent

Connect an assistant once and it works on the board with you, with your permissions: by default it reads and proposes, and people decide.

You ask: “Fill in the Hiring scorecard board from these notes.”
What happens It reads the board, then proposes sticky notes for it. Nothing changes until someone on the board accepts them.
You ask: “Group what we wrote into themes and list the actions.”
What happens It proposes clusters with a title each and task cards for the actions, labelled with its name and yours.
