Tips for giving effective feedback
Why well-written interview feedback is important
- Evaluators can structure their thinking, check in with how they feel about a candidate and make a more objective recommendation.
- Written feedback can help answer outstanding questions and fill in gaps in understanding for the hiring panel and leadership.
- Feedback can make a decision on a candidate clearer and easier. Incomplete or poorly written feedback can make it harder to assess a candidate.

When to write feedback
When you write feedback can affect your perspective and decision on a candidate.
- Feedback should be written within a day of the interview. Ideally a few hours after the sessions.

- Written feedback must be submitted before the Debrief session. Submission helps make Debrief sessions more efficient.

A consistent format also helps the hiring panel understand and review the entire feedback packet more effectively. It’s easier to compare and calibrate feedback when everyone uses the same structure.

- Provide a concise summary of your decision rationale at the top of the interview scorecard.
- Write a first person description of your experience with the candidate. Write a sentence or short paragraph in plain First-Person language.
- We use the criteria from our article, "What makes a great product designer ..

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
