The document provides guidance on completing an interview assessment form. It outlines a 5 step process: 1) List competencies from the job specification and apply weightings, 2) Conduct the interview using questions to assess competencies, 3) Rate candidates on each competency on a scale of 0 to 2, 4) Multiply ratings by weightings to calculate a total score, with the highest scoring candidate appointed, 5) Note any training needs. The form includes sections to record applicant details, ratings for competencies and personal attributes, comments, and a recommendation.

Using the Interview Assessment Form
The interview assessment form incorporates a scoring grid to enable you to assess each candidate as fairly and objectively as possible.
Step 1
List the competencies and criteria from the Person Specification on the interview assessment form and apply a weighting according to how
important you consider them to be in fulfilling the duties of the post. The weighting scale is from 1 to 3, with 3 being most important and 1
being less important.
Step 2
Carry out the interview, using questions and, if appropriate, exercises to gain evidence to enable you to make a judgement as to how far the
candidate meets each competency and/or criteria. Make notes during the interview
Step 3
At the end of each interview, agree as a panel how far you consider the candidate met each competency or criteria and apply a rating as
follows :
0 = evidence demonstrated that the candidate did not meet the competency or criteria
1 = evidence demonstrated that the candidate met the competency or criteria
2 = evidence demonstrated that the candidate exceeded the competency / criteria
Record the rating on the Interview Assessment form.
Step 4
Multiply the weighting for each competency or criteria by the rating you have applied and record on the interview assessment form. Add
together to arrive at a total score and record on the form. The candidate you appoint should therefore be the person who achieves the highest
score.
Step 5
Record any training or support needs you have identified.
