Competency Heatmap

Visualize candidate performance across all competencies at a glance.

The competency heatmap gives you a bird's-eye view of how all candidates scored across every competency.

Reading the Heatmap

  • Rows = candidates (sorted by overall score, highest first)
  • Columns = competencies from the posting
  • Colors indicate score ranges:
    • Red (1-2) — below expectations
    • Orange (2-3) — needs improvement
    • Amber (3-3.5) — adequate
    • Green (3.5-5) — strong to exceptional

How to Use It

  • Spot patterns — if a column is mostly red, the role may need better candidate sourcing for that competency
  • Identify standouts — candidates with all-green rows are strong across the board
  • Find specialists — some candidates may excel in specific competencies while being average elsewhere
  • Click candidate names to navigate directly to their profile

The heatmap appears on the posting detail page when 2 or more candidates have been scored.
