Scoring interviews......................................................................................................................
An interview “score” is generated for each applicant interview. The score an
applicant receives for an interview is the total of the scores the applicant
receives in each category. Those scores are the applicant’s category scores
multiplied by the weight given that particular category.
For example, assume the following categories and weights were entered in
the Applicant Interview Rating window for an interview:
An applicant scored 8, 6, 7, 10 and 9 in each category, respectively. The
interview score for each category and the final interview score are
calculated below.
- Review of Resume 8 x 1 = 8
- Why this company? 6 x 1 = 6
- Why this position? 7 x 1 = 7
- Strengths/weaknesses 10 x 2 = 20
- Why should we hire you? 9 x 0 = 0
To calculate the final score, add each of the category scores: 8 + 6 + 7+ 20 +
0= 41. Then divide this number by the total number of categories: 41/5 =
8.2.
Modifying or deleting interview information
Use the Applicant Interview Rating window to modify or delete interview
information. You can modify an applicant record to reflect changes such as
additions to notes.
