Communication is scored across four separate dimensions rather than one blended number: fluency, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Each is tracked and reported individually, alongside the technical per-question score, rather than being averaged into a single "communication skills" figure that hides the details behind it.
Here's what each one covers. Fluency is how smoothly and continuously someone speaks (pacing, hesitation, filler words, and overall flow) rather than starting and stopping or visibly searching for words mid-sentence. Grammar is the structural correctness of what's said: things like verb tense, sentence construction, and subject-verb agreement, independent of how it sounds out loud. Vocabulary is the range and precision of word choice: whether a candidate can express nuanced or technical ideas clearly, versus relying on a narrow, repetitive set of words to get by. Pronunciation is the clarity and accuracy of spoken sounds: whether words are articulated in a way that's easy to understand, which is a separate thing from accent itself.
These are assessed as four distinct dimensions because "can this person do the job" and "can this person communicate clearly about the job" are genuinely different things to evaluate, and blending them into one score would hide which one actually needs attention for a given candidate.
It hasn't been published whether the four dimensions carry equal weight in a combined communication score, or whether they're presented only as four separate sub-scores. Given how the rest of the reporting works (with per-question technical breakdowns and per-skill ratings that include question counts), it would be consistent for communication to show up the same way, as four distinct figures you inspect individually. Still, if that level of detail matters for your evaluation, your Hyring contact can confirm it directly.
These four scores live in the same section of the report as the technical score, per-skill ratings, sentiment, and transcript.
