1. Notes on Candidate Selection forms:
The competency box is left blank in order to allow for the correct competencies to be chosen,
position depending. They should be filled in prior to the interviewing.
All managers should understand that the questions shown after the assessment for (for interviews)
are suggestions only. This is to give them an idea of what types of questions to ask.
I have taken the original document that each interviewer fills out and put on a spreadsheet in order
to assure objectivity in the interviewing process (this is on-site interviewing only). I then would
hide the individual scores and display the average score in order to determine the top ranking
candidates and who, if any, warrant further consideration or the offer of employment.
The candidate assessment form for current employees is only a tool to use for helping in the
ranking of current employees should there be a layoff and it is determined to not use seniority (of
course, seniority may wind up being used after this assessment). The competencies and the
subcategories can be changed according to position and organizational need, but should be
competency based.
