Which method would you recommend for combining the scores? Why?

The summary score can be used to combine the scores because of summary scores combines various measurements and provide a single score. Although the different measures depict different issues, the measure in true sense is a single specific service or single provider.

What factors other than the assessment scores would you take into account before selecting the final candidates?

A group discussion would be a better assessment where the ability of a candidate's communication skills will be judged. Therefore, communication skills and the ability to speak in front of others can be judged.

Once the final candidates are selected, would it be fair to offer different starting salary rates if needed to get them to come aboard? Why or why not?

Yes, it is definitely okay to offer different salary rates for different candidates because some will be experienced players in the field, while others could be fresher lacking work experience.
