Edit and Import Job Scorecards
Interview GPS integrates with the Values, Competency, and Skills scorecard categories in Greenhouse Recruiting. If these categories do not exist yet, Interview GPS will create them the first time it adds any attributes for the relevant category.
You can retain any additional categories (such as Experience) that you might want to compare between candidates. Interview GPS will ignore these additional categories.

From the Scorecard page, click View Role on Interview GPS to open the job in Interview GPS.
Click Edit Role.
Select any Competencies or Skills that are necessary for the role, and then click Update Role.
