The interview report is an essential part of job applications on Hunteed. It aims to convince the client company to interview your candidate. We advise you to base it on the essential points shared in the brief. As a reminder, it is imperative to conduct your interview by video or face-to-face for Hunteed assignments.
The essential points
Example of Essential points from a Team Leader job in a cleaning company in Switzerland.
The first step is to confirm that your candidate does indeed meet the essential points, the most important criteria shared by the client company. Answer all the points. Not answering all the points can suggest that your candidate doesn't meet all the criteria, and putting in too many points can make them confusing to read.
If a candidate doesn't quite fit, complete the item anyway, even if it means adding details in the following fields ⬇
Experience and hard skills
There's no point in copying and pasting the candidate's CV or elements from the ad.
On the contrary, you need to integrate elements that you have collected during your face-to-face / video interview with your candidate.
It's important to highlight your candidate's previous experience in relation to the essential points, while emphasizing key skills and projects undertaken. There's no point in analyzing everything, just focus on significant experience relevant to the job in question. Be careful not to base your analysis on experiences that are too short or date back a long time.
What you need to highlight depends on the type of profile.
Ask yourself "What kind of information could make the client want to meet my candidate?"
We advise you to add concrete information such as numbers, stats, projects led, achievements...
It is not necessary to add too much information, you should rather go straight to the point.
Softs skills
For this part, focus on the soft skills of your candidate. If you don’t know what are soft skills or if you don’t know which one should be applied for the job, you can look up generic job descriptions on Google.
Motivations and expectations
For this last part, you can simply transcribe what your candidate has told you, such as the reasons for leaving the current position, but also elements that will play a role in the candidate's decision (e.g. travel time, possibility of flexible working hours, etc.).
Be careful, however, to always take a positive approach to your candidate's motivations, and to avoid indiscretion.
Some tips
- Always meet your candidate at least once in a job interview. This interview can be done remotely thanks to video-conference tools such as Google Meet, Skype…
