Google Docs Interview Notes and Candidate Comparison Template
Record interviews consistently and fairly.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Create a Google Docs template for recording interviews fairly. The role and the criteria we are hiring against: [ROLE_AND_CRITERIA]. Interviewers and the stages of the process: [INTERVIEWERS_AND_STAGES]. The questions asked: [QUESTIONS]. Design a candidate page: a candidate identifier (no more personal data than needed), interviewer, date, and a table with one row per criterion containing the question, notes of what the candidate said or did (facts and short quotes, not impressions), and a score from 1 to 5 with the meaning of each score. Add a summary for strengths, concerns and a recommendation written after scoring. Then design a comparison page: a table of candidates by criterion with totals, for example five criteria scored 4, 3, 5, 4 and 3 give 19 out of 25. Rules in an instruction block at the top: score before discussing with other interviewers, ask every candidate the same core questions, avoid questions about protected characteristics, and note only job-related evidence. Restrict sharing to the hiring panel and delete notes after the period set by policy [VERIFY local rules].
