Interviewing

6. Decision Time

6.1 Assess the evidence for each candidate against the selection criteria.

  • Use a scoring system to turn observations into numbers. This makes it easier to compare candidates.

6.2 Calculate a weighted score.

  • Multiply the score for each of the criteria by the corresponding weighting (see 1.1).Add the results for each of the criteria. Any candidate not achieving the required standard can be discounted.

6.3 Make your decision based on:

  • Candidates' weighted scores.
  • Any other evidence you have collected.
  • Your judgement.

6.4 Inform both successful and unsuccessful candidates of the outcome.

  • Back up any phone calls with written confirmation.
  • Try to provide brief, factual and helpful feedback to unsuccessful candidates.
