evaluations a success.

2. A Post-Interview Evaluation Form is the perfect
piece to complete the hiring puzzle. Fine-tuned to
match your requirements, a good form can help
you:
• Focus questions on relevant content.
• Ensure each candidate a fair look.
• Simplify record-keeping processes.
Getting started
3. You’ve seen how HR forms help with the rest of the
hiring process — from application to screening
form to candidate quiz — and the interview
evaluation is no exception.
4. Interviews can be stressful enough for all involved
— candidates, HR professionals, hiring managers,
and other team members. In most cases, though,
much of the real conversation happens after the
candidate has left.
The Post-Interview Evaluation
5. When a form has been built by multiple team
members, they’re more invested in sticking to the
structure. Rather than impose the ‘perfect’ form on
them, ask for input and feedback — and you’ll get
buy-in, too.
Build content together
6. Encourage each interviewer to complete the form
as soon as possible after the interview. Especially
when you’re interviewing multiple candidates in a
tight window, catching the fresh impression helps to
avoid any cross-contamination — or memory loss!
Get it while it’s hot
7. As much as possible, try to have each interviewer
complete the form before they begin sharing their
offline feedback with each other. It’s easy for one
person’s opinions to influence another’s, so it can
be helpful to get a snapshot of the full picture
before conversation prompts reconsideration.
Keep it formal
