17 synonyms, and when to use each

Evaluation is rarely the point of a job; the decision that follows it is. Assessed, compared, vetted and tested are all good swaps for "evaluated", but whichever you pick, the line should end on the verdict: the vendor you chose, the program you cut, the candidate you hired. Match the verb to how formal the assessment was.
