“We are so impressed with you ________ that I will offer the job right here and now, the job comes with___________. Since we have been swift so must you. We need to know your answer before you leave the building. Have a walk around, talk to whoever you like, but make that decision.”
To help you I have created this checklist in my book.

Because a rating exercise is subjective, and each element is not equal it is tempting to use some form of weighting to come up with a single score. Please avoid doing this.
