Interview evaluation templates define three aspects of the form that interviewers use to enter interview evaluations:

  • Evaluation categories.

    These are the different aspects of an applicant that the interviewer evaluates. For example, the interviewer might evaluate the applicant's communication skills, technical skills, and work experience.

    On the interview template, you review all available categories and select which ones to include in the evaluation form.

  • Ratings.

    Interviewers evaluate applicants using a rating scale that you configure especially for this purpose.

    On the interview template, you review all available ratings and select which ones to make available in the evaluation form.

  • Recommendations.

    Interviewers make recommendations using statuses for the interview recruitment areas. On the interview template, you review these statuses and select which ones to make available as recommendation options. For each status, you also choose which associated reasons to make available.

Before you to set up interview evaluation templates, you must set up:

  1. Interview evaluation categories.

  2. Interview evaluation ratings.
