Overall averages

Let's assume that you are compiling all of the information from each of the committee members to make a decision. In this scenario, the weights for each criteria have been average between the committee members. Then all of the scaled ratings for the candidates have been averaged between the committee members. The ultimate hiring decision based on this aggregate approach results in hiring Candidate D. Please view the spreadsheet titled "By Committee Member" for an alternative approach.
