Frequently asked questions
When should interviewers complete the feedback form?
Immediately after the interview, before discussing the candidate with anyone. Fresh, independent feedback is more accurate and protects the panel from anchoring on the first or loudest opinion.
What makes interview feedback useful?
Specific evidence. A rating tied to a concrete example the candidate gave is far more useful in a debrief than a general impression like 'seemed sharp' or 'good vibe'.
How do we avoid bias in feedback?
Rate only job-relevant competencies, require evidence for each rating, and avoid vague 'culture fit' language. Name the specific value or behaviour and the moment it showed up.
