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:

Criteria Category	Details	Weight (%)	Ratings (1-10)	Score
Education	Minimum of an Associate's degree in Medical Laboratory Technology or a related field.	10%	9	0.9
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
Regulatory Knowledge	In-depth knowledge of healthcare regulations, safety procedures, and laboratory standards.	10%	9	0.9
Personal Attributes	Strong problem-solving abilities to troubleshoot issues as they arise in the lab.	5%	8	0.4

Total Score Calculation:

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

Total Score = 0.9 + 1.5 + 1.6 + 2.25 + 1.2 + 0.9 + 0.4 + 0.8 = 9.55
