Setting Evaluation Criteria for Screening & Interviews
Clarifying evaluation criteria in advance is key to fair, consistent selection. It reduces subjectivity and improves hiring quality.
【Setting screening criteria】
List required and preferred qualifications in advance and share the criteria across all screeners.
Sample criteria: skill match, consistency of work history, specificity of motivation, formatting care.
【Using interview evaluation sheets】
Having multiple interviewers use the same rubric prevents bias from individual judgment.
Sample dimensions: technical ability, communication, self-management, culture fit.
【Recording rejection reasons】
Not legally required, but keeping internal notes on rejection reasons:
· Ensures fairness in the selection process
· Enables improving standards through reflection
· Provides evidence in the event of a dispute
【Prohibited discriminatory evaluations】
Rejecting candidates based on gender, age, nationality, disability, pregnancy, childbirth, religion, etc. is illegal.
