Our team put a lot of thought into the job description which highlights the essential and desirable skills we were looking for. Each test was written with these criteria in mind, and we also used them to help reviewers score responses.[1] This helped reviewers provide scores more consistently and purposefully. Just to avoid overstating things though, I’d add that we weren’t just trying to legalistically make sure every question had a neat correspondence to previously written criteria, but instead were thinking “is this representative of the type of work the role involves?”
This is probably a bit more in the weeds than necessary, but though the initial application questions were written with clear reference to essential/desirable skills in the job description, I didn’t convert that into a clear grading rubric for reviewers to use. This was just an oversight.
We did!

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. :)
