An interview type is a reusable template for a round of interviewing — for example “Technical Round”, “Culture Fit”, or “Final Panel”. Instead of re-picking the same interviewers and re-typing the same competencies every time you schedule, you define the round once here and pick it when you schedule an interview. Choosing a type seeds the new interview’s panel and the competencies the panel will score, which keeps your interviewing consistent across candidates for the same role. This page covers creating and managing interview types. You’ll find this at: /hr/recruitment/interview-types

Before you start

  • Which business am I in? Interview types are scoped to the business selected in the switcher.
  • Managing types is a configuration task. Creating, editing, and deleting interview types needs the hr-recruitment:config permission. Anyone with hr-recruitment:read can see them; only a configurer sees the New Type, edit, and delete controls.

What an interview type holds

​
Creating an interview type

Choose New Type (needs hr-recruitment:config).

  1. Give the type a name (required).
  2. Optionally set a designation and a description.
  3. Add interviewers — search the user directory and add each person who normally sits on this panel. Click the ✕ on a chip to remove one.
  4. Add skills to assess — type a skill name and choose Add; it appears as a chip. These become the competencies panelists score.
  5. Create.
Each interview type listed on the page shows its name, designation, description, the competency chips, and an interviewer count.

​
Editing & deleting

With hr-recruitment:config, each type card has pencil (edit) and trash (delete) buttons. Deleting asks for confirmation. Deleting a type does not affect interviews already scheduled from it — those interviews keep their own copy of the panel and competencies.
Types seed, they don’t bind. When you schedule an interview and pick a type, its interviewers and competencies are copied onto that interview as a starting point — you can then add or remove either for that specific round. Changing the type later won’t reach back and rewrite interviews already created from it.
