BEFORE YOU START
Set up your Interview Type first, since each round is associated with a type.
How to create an Interview Round
- Open the Interview Round list and click New.
- Enter the Round Name (e.g. “Technical Round 1”).
- Select the Interview Type the round belongs to.
- In the Expected Skill Set table, add the skills to assess, each with an optional weightage.
- Optionally add Expected Questions for interviewers to work from.
- Save.
How rounds shape the interview
When you schedule an Interview and pick a round, its skill set is pulled into the interview as the basis for feedback. Interviewers then rate the candidate against those defined skills, so feedback is structured and comparable across candidates rather than a free-form impression that varies from one interviewer to the next.
TIP
Define a round per genuine stage of your process and list the skills that stage is really meant to test. Weighting them lets the most important skills carry more in the final assessment turning interviews into consistent, evidence-based decisions.

SUMMARY
An Interview Round defines a stage of the interview process and the skills assessed at it. Create one with a round name, an associated interview type, an expected skill set (each skill optionally weighted), and optional expected questions. When a round is used in a scheduled Interview, its skill set drives the feedback, so interviewers rate candidates on the same defined, weighted criteria making assessments structured and comparable.
