Worksheet
Score the evidence before the job offer
Start with pay, schedule, and commute. Mark a factor unknown until you have evidence; use 0 only for a confirmed blocker. The worksheet keeps fit and evidence coverage separate and saves automatically in this browser.
Private by design. Your entries and saved comparison stay in this browser. HireTea receives no posting URL, job ID, or notes.
Unknown = not verified; excluded from the fit score 0 = verified blocker or unacceptable fit 5 = clear, current evidence and strong fit
| Factor | Question and evidence | Your weight | Offer A score | Offer B score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay clarity | Is the pay range, hourly note, bonus language, or raise path written clearly enough to compare? Current posting, offer packet, recruiter message, or public employer pay page. | |||
| Schedule fit | Do the shift, weekend, holiday, overtime, part-time, or full-time expectations match your availability? Posting schedule language, interview notes, calendar invite, and onboarding instructions. | |||
| Commute and location | Can you reliably reach the location, site, route, property, facility, or remote setup for every required shift? Worksite address, commute estimate, parking notes, transit route, or remote-work instruction. | |||
| Application responsiveness | Has the employer given clear next steps, status updates, interview timing, or candidate-portal messages? Candidate portal, recruiter email, interview invite, text message, or saved confirmation. | |||
| Role evidence | Do you have enough written evidence to know what the role actually does before you commit more time? Role duties, department name, job ID, training notes, equipment notes, and first-week expectations. | |||
| Growth or stability | Does the role help with hours, income reliability, experience, internal movement, certification, or a specific career step? Employer career page, benefits page, manager message, role description, or current team information. |

How to read the result
Compare written evidence, not the brand name
A famous employer with unclear hours can be a worse fit than a smaller employer with a clear schedule and workable commute. Keep missing details unknown instead of converting uncertainty into a false score.
Start with facts
Use the posting, candidate portal, recruiter email, offer packet, and local instructions before relying on memory.
Keep unknowns visible
If a detail is missing or only implied, leave it unknown until you can verify the source.
Save the next action
End with a specific follow-up: apply, ask a question, pause, or decline.
Scoring guide
What to score before you trust the total
Scores are useful only when they are tied to evidence. Do not give a high score just because the employer is familiar, a friend liked the company, or the role sounds close to something you have done before. Give a high score when the current posting and employer messages show exactly what you need to know.
| Score | Meaning | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Unknown | You have not found or verified the detail yet. | Keep it unknown, save the open question, and do not let the worksheet silently turn uncertainty into a negative fact. |
| 5 | The detail is written clearly, matches your needs, and comes from a current source. | Save the source and move to the next decision factor. |
| 3 | The detail might work, but it is broad, incomplete, or dependent on a local instruction. | Ask a focused question before applying, interviewing, or accepting. |
| 1 | The detail is mostly unknown or creates a practical problem for your schedule, commute, pay needs, or timing. | Do not assume it will improve later; verify before spending more time. |
| 0 | You verified a blocker, conflict, or unacceptable fit. Missing evidence alone belongs under Unknown. | Pause, decline, or record what would have to change before the role becomes viable. |
Interpretation
How to interpret your totals
A higher total usually means one posting has fewer open questions, but the total does not replace judgment. Pay clarity may matter more than commute for one applicant, while predictable hours may matter more than a small pay difference for another. Before choosing the higher score, look at which individual factor created the gap. One low score on schedule, location, or communication can outweigh several minor advantages.
When the scores are close
Treat a close result as a tie and compare the unresolved questions. The better next step may be asking one employer for clarification rather than applying to both immediately.
When one score is much higher
Check whether the higher score came from real evidence. If it did, that posting is probably the better first application. If it came from guesses, lower the score until the evidence exists.
When both scores are low
A low total can be useful. It tells you not to force a weak match and helps you look for a posting with better hours, clearer pay, stronger communication, or a role that supports your next step.
Evidence
Evidence to save before you decide
Save enough detail that you can reconstruct the decision later. A useful comparison record includes the company name, exact role title, location, job ID, posting URL, date viewed, pay language, schedule language, candidate portal status, interview invite, recruiter contact, and any local instruction that changes the role. Use the application tracker on the resources page if you want a spreadsheet version of the same workflow.
Before applying
Compare the current postings
Save role titles, job IDs, locations, source dates, duties, pay language, schedule notes, and required steps.
Before interviewing
Compare communication quality
Look at response speed, interview details, contact clarity, calendar accuracy, and whether questions are answered directly.
Before accepting
Compare written commitments
Use offer documents, onboarding messages, start-date details, schedule confirmations, and manager instructions.
Privacy
Keep the worksheet local
This worksheet runs in the browser and does not require an account. HireTea does not receive the names, scores, notes, or job details you type into the fields. Local saving survives a refresh on the same browser, but it is not a cloud backup. Avoid entering private identifiers, documents, home addresses, or contact details on a shared computer. Save the next action to your browser workspace first; use Copy or Download JSON as a portable backup before clearing browser storage or moving devices.
