How to use this template, step by step
- 1
Add the role and candidate details
Enter the role, interview stage and interviewers before the call so the note is filed correctly for the hiring team.
- 2
Get consent to record
Ask the candidate clearly at the start and respect a no. Many candidates welcome it because it means fairer evaluation.
- 3
Focus on evidence, not impressions
When you review the note, highlight specific examples the candidate gave. Evidence holds up in a debrief, impressions often do not.
- 4
Complete your assessment promptly
Fill in strengths, concerns and your recommendation while the conversation is fresh, ideally within an hour of the interview.
- 5
Share with the panel only
Keep interview notes inside the hiring panel. They contain personal assessments that should not travel wider in the company.
Frequently asked questions
Rules vary by place, so always ask for consent and follow your local law and company policy. If a candidate declines, take manual notes instead.
It makes every interviewer cover the same ground and record evidence the same way, so candidates are compared on answers rather than on who interviewed them.
That depends on your policy and local data rules. Many companies share factual summaries on request but keep panel assessments internal.
