About Interview Forms
Interview forms standardize how panels capture candidate evidence: question sets, competency ratings, and structured notes per meeting. Scorecards reduce bias by forcing behavior-based observations instead of gut verdicts, and they make panel debriefs factual. SharaForms interview templates support per-stage copies and comparison exports for hiring committees.
What to include in an interview scorecard
- Candidate and interviewer identifiers
- Stage-specific question set
- Competency ratings on one shared scale

Frequently asked questions about interview forms
- Why use interview scorecards?
- Scorecards anchor decisions to observed evidence, reduce individual bias, and create defensible hiring records. They also expose when interviewers diverge wildly on the same candidate.
- When should interviewers fill out scorecards?
- Immediately after the interview, ideally within an hour. Memory decays fast and ratings become contaminated by impressions from subsequent conversations.
- Can different stages have different questions?
- Yes. Duplicate the template per stage, tailoring questions and competencies: screens verify basics, technical rounds probe depth, final rounds assess culture contribution.
