About the interview forms

There are some straightforward forms that need to be completed in order to provide a full record of the process. The chair of the panel (or a colleague working on their behalf who has been given eRecruit access to the vacancy) will also need to record the outcomes for the candidates who have been interviewed in  eRecruit in order to progress the appointment of your chosen candidate.

The forms should be returned, along with any other notes and documentation relating to the selection process, to your Resourcing Team at the end of the process.

Candidate Interview Assessment form

• Each panel member must complete one form each.

• The form includes a brief summary and a score for each candidate, to be completed at the end of each individual interview.

• Together with the more detailed notes you will have taken during each interview, the forms can be used to help you in your discussion with the other panel members on the merits of each candidate.

• Importantly, this form enables you to provide accurate feedback to unsuccessful candidates or even to defend a decision should you be challenged. Again, remember to ensure your feedback is factual and objective, as the Data Protection Act covers any written records and a candidate could request to see a copy.
