In most cases, though, much of the real conversation happens after the candidate has left. Here are a few tips to make your form a success:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><b>Build content together<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: When a form has been built by multiple team members, they\u2019re more invested in sticking to the structure. Rather than impose the \u2018perfect\u2019 form on them, ask for input and feedback &#8212; and you\u2019ll get buy-in, too.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><b>Review in advance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Take a few minutes to review the form prior to the interview to refresh your focus on the key questions. It\u2019s easy to drift off track in a side conversation &#8212; and it\u2019s nice to keep it human! &#8212; but you need to make sure you cover all of the key requirements so you can complete this form fully. Otherwise, you\u2019re wasting everyone\u2019s time.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><b>Get it while it\u2019s hot<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Encourage each interviewer to complete the form as soon as possible after the interview. Especially when you\u2019re interviewing multiple candidates in a tight window, catching the fresh impression helps to avoid any cross-contamination &#8212; or memory loss!<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><b>Keep it formal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: As much as possible, try to have each interviewer complete the form before they begin sharing their offline feedback with each other. It\u2019s easy for one person\u2019s opinions to influence another\u2019s, so it can be helpful to get a snapshot of the full picture before conversation prompts reconsideration.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sound smart? Pick your questions to get started. Want some inspiration? A few ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How well did the candidate research our organization prior to the interview? (Rating Scale)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How likely is this candidate to be successful in a fast-paced work environment? (Rating Scale)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please share any concerns you have regarding the candidate\u2019s ability to embody or demonstrate any of the company values listed above. (Text Box)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please share any challenges you feel this candidate is likely to face in this position. (Text Box)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the scale below, indicate your level of desire to hire this candidate. (Rating Scale)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The list could go on and on, but you\u2019ve got to make decisions! Make sure the form is easy for interviewers to fill out and easy for you to review, and you\u2019ll be collecting better responses and hiring better candidates sooner rather than later. Plus, with your HR forms online, you\u2019ll always be able to look back and see how accurate your evaluations were. Rather than relying on a scattered collections of emails, texts, and sticky notes, you\u2019ll be able to quickly and easily find out how successful employees started their journey with your organization &#8212; and maybe even uncover clues about how to improve your hiring processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to get started?
