What is Graphic Rating Scale?
A performance appraisal form that lists predefined traits or competencies and asks the rater to evaluate the employee on each one using a numerical or descriptive scale, typically ranging from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent).
Why it matters in hiring
Graphic Rating Scale comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
