In this article, we introduce a few evaluation forms that have proven useful. To implement your application process in Personio as effectively as possible, we recommend creating the evaluation forms at the same time as the stages and interview types. This allows you to adapt your multistage candidate process to the corresponding feedback in the best possible way.
Read our article on how to create evaluation forms to learn more about this topic.
Notes
▶︎ The sections Key Takeaways and Overall Recommendation are by default added to each evaluation form to summarize the evaluation.
▶︎ If you need to update (delete, rename or add a section) an existing evaluation form, this will impact forms that have been filled out already. We recommend changing the name of your existing form to “Archived_xxx” and creating a new evaluation form.
Phone interview
During the phone interview/screening, check the candidates' professional knowledge and evaluate their personality.
| Section title | Item title | Method |
| Professional knowledge | How much professional experience does the applicant have? | Scale |
| Overall impression of the candidate’s professional knowledge | Textfield | |
| Personality | What is my first impression of the candidate? | Textfield |

In-person interview
Evaluate the candidate's key qualifications during the in-person interview.
| Section title | Item title | Method |
| Key qualification | How do I rate the key qualifications of the candidate? | Sub-section title |

Tip
You can use separate evaluation forms to find out about the specific knowledge they have about the relevant specialist fields.
Peer interview
If the candidate impresses on both a professional and a personal level, the next step is to check to make sure they will be a good fit for the team with a Peer interview. This gives team members the chance to get to know the candidate.
| Section title | Item title | Method |
| Team fit | How well does the candidate fit into the team? | Sub-section title |
| How do I rate the overall team fit of the candidate? | Scale | |

| Feedback culture | How do I perceive the feedback culture of the candidate? | Sub-section title |
