Organize interview evidence for a hiring panel

Build an interview evidence matrix that keeps observations, interpretations and unanswered questions distinct. Capture permitted discussion, organize examples against an approved role rubric, and give panel members a consistent review packet. The output supports their judgment without manufacturing missing evidence or an automatic candidate ranking.

For: Interview coordinators preparing consistent records for human panel review.

THE FINISHED DELIVERABLE

A panel packet with a criterion-by-interview evidence table, source passages, reviewer interpretations and a list of unanswered job-related questions.

The situation

A hiring panel has interviewed several applicants for a customer operations role. Notes range from detailed examples to impressions such as 'confident communicator.' Different interviewers asked different follow-ups, leaving gaps in concrete evidence about escalation handling and process improvement. The coordinator needs comparable records before the full panel meets, while preserving who observed each example and making clear which questions an interview never actually addressed for each applicant under discussion.

Build a small, reviewable version

  1. Define evidence before summaries

    Start with the approved rubric and define what an observable example would look like for each criterion. In Superhuman Docs, create columns for interview identifier, criterion, source passage, interviewer observation, interpretation and unanswered question. Leave absent evidence explicitly empty.

    Check: Each criterion describes job-related evidence that a reviewer could recognize.

  2. Locate the original examples

    Review the permitted Fathom record and interviewer notes for concrete examples. Copy relevant passages with their source location, preserving qualifiers and follow-up context. If recording was unavailable, identify the interviewer note as the source instead of implying a transcript exists.

    Check: Each quoted example can be located in its stated source.

  3. Separate evidence from interpretation

    Ask Claude to organize only the supplied passages against the rubric. Review each placement with the original interviewer and retain competing interpretations where the record permits them. Replace broad impressions with the specific event that supported them, or mark the impression unsupported.

    Check: No criterion is filled through inferred personality or missing experience.

  4. Prepare the panel questions

    Assemble the matrix and unresolved job-related questions into a restricted review packet. Ask panel members to add their own assessment against the same criteria. Discuss evidence gaps and inconsistent questioning before reaching a decision, and record the human reasoning separately.

    Check: The panel sees source evidence and gaps before making its assessment.

Your acceptance checklist

  • Every evidence entry retains a verifiable source location.
  • Observations and reviewer interpretations occupy separate fields.
  • Missing evidence is visible for every reviewed criterion.
  • Human panel reasoning remains distinct from generated summaries.

Where the process can go wrong

  • Turning speaking style into an unsupported personality judgment.
  • Treating an unasked question as evidence of inability.
  • Flattening contradictory interviewer observations into false agreement.

Choose the workflow deliberately

Choose this packet when uneven notes make panel discussion hard to audit. A small panel can maintain the table manually. Keep summaries tied to observable examples, let interviewers correct their records, and reserve hiring decisions for people applying the agreed rubric with appropriate review responsibilities.

A working brief to copy

Organize [permitted interview passages] against [approved job rubric]. For each relevant passage, return the interview identifier, criterion, exact source location, observable example and any limitation in what the example establishes. Keep interviewer interpretations in a separate column. Mark missing evidence as 'not observed in supplied material.' Do not rank applicants, infer personality from voice or fill gaps from assumptions. End with job-related clarification questions for the human panel and flag criteria that were asked inconsistently across the interviews.
