Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an interview evaluation and a candidate evaluation form?

An interview evaluation form focuses specifically on the interview interaction — capturing real-time feedback on responses and demeanor. A candidate evaluation form is broader and may combine interview feedback with resume review, test results, and other assessments.

Should I share interview evaluation forms with candidates?

Generally, internal evaluation forms are not shared with candidates. However, providing constructive feedback from the interview can enhance your employer brand when done professionally.

How detailed should my interview notes be?

Notes should be detailed enough to justify your rating and recall the conversation later. Include specific quotes or examples when possible, especially for key competencies.
