Introduction
The following document provides a detailed evaluation framework for assessing candidates for a position in a clinical laboratory setting. The evaluation criteria are designed to ensure that candidates possess the essential qualifications, skills, and attributes necessary for effective performance in the role.
Purpose
The purpose of this evaluation framework is to establish a structured approach for rating candidates based on key criteria relevant to the clinical laboratory field. By assigning specific weights to various criteria and scoring candidates accordingly, the framework aims to objectively measure their suitability for the position. This approach helps in identifying the most qualified individuals who can meet the demands of the role and contribute to the success of the laboratory.
Scope
This framework covers the following evaluation criteria:

Certification | Certification from a recognized body such as ASCP or AMT is highly preferred. | 15% | 10 | 1.5 |
Experience | At least 2 years of hands-on experience in a clinical laboratory setting. | 20% | 8 | 1.6 |
Technical Skills | Proficiency in the use of lab equipment such as microscopes, spectrometers, and centrifuges. | 25% | 9 | 2.25 |
Soft Skills | Demonstrates meticulous attention to detail in all tasks to ensure accurate results. | 15% | 8 | 1.2 |

Total Score Calculation:
The total score is calculated by multiplying the rating by the weight for each criterion and then summing up the scores.
