Interview Evaluation Process

An interview evaluation is a process used by hiring managers and recruiters to assess the performance and qualifications of job candidates during the interview process. The evaluation typically involves rating candidates on a set of predetermined criteria, such as their technical skills, communication skills, and cultural add.

For hiring managers, interview feedback forms are available in iCIMS along with a quick guide on how to select and use them. 

Here are some key steps for conducting an effective interview evaluation:

1. Define the evaluation criteria: Before the interview process begins, determine the key criteria that you will use to evaluate candidates. These criteria should be based on the skills, experience, and personal qualities that are required for success in the role.

2. Educate interviewers: Ensure that all interviewers involved in the hiring process understand the evaluation criteria and how to use the evaluation form. Provide training and support as needed to ensure consistency and accuracy in the evaluation process.  Each interviewer should do their own evaluation form. 

3. Conduct the interviews: During the interviews, use the evaluation form to rate each candidate on each criterion. Take detailed notes on each candidate's responses and behaviors, and use these notes to inform your ratings.

4. Compile the results: Once all interviews are complete, compile the results of the evaluation process. Review the ratings for each candidate and compare them to the evaluation criteria to determine which candidates are the best fit for the role. 

5. Provide feedback: Whether or not a candidate is offered the job, it is important to provide feedback on their performance during the interview process. This feedback can help candidates to improve their skills and performance in future job interviews.

Overall, an effective interview evaluation process can help to ensure that hiring decisions are based on objective criteria and that the best candidates are selected for the job.
