DOCUMENTATION Note Taking • Tell candidates you are taking notes to remember important facts regarding their skill and experience • Invite candidates to take notes if they desire • Note taking communicates you are serious about getting as much information as possible about the candidate
DOCUMENTATION Note Taking • Do not let note taking distract from what the candidate is saying during the interview • Use abbreviations and phrases to avoid continuous note taking to limit distraction in interview
DOCUMENTATION Note Taking • Stop taking notes during sensitive conversations such as explanations of dismissals, failures or mistakes • Lessens anxiety and possible inhibiting of further responses. Make mental note, write it down later
DOCUMENTATION Note Taking • Documenting an interview helps you remember information you have gathered • Assists in helping you validate or justify a hiring decision • Assists in supporting third party claims by unsuccessful candidates (EEO Claims)
DOCUMENTATION Note Taking • Do my notes substantiate my decision? • Do my notes contain irrelevant information? • References to personal or physical characteristics • References to future plans which do not affect current employability • Do my notes contain any illegal information? • References to sex, race, age or national origin • References to physical capabilities not job related
