Interview in Frappe HR: Scheduling & Recording Candidate Interviews
An Interview schedules and records an actual interview with a job applicant for a particular round. It captures who’s on the panel, when it happens, and the feedback that follows turning each conversation into a structured, scored step in your hiring decision.
You will find it under Home > Human Resources > Recruitment > Interview.
BEFORE YOU START
Have the Job Applicant, the Interview Round (with its Interview Type and expected skill set), and the interviewers who’ll be on the panel ready.
How to schedule an Interview
- Open the Interview list and click New.
- Select the Job Applicant.
- Choose the Interview Round this pulls in the round’s interview type and expected skill set.
- Set the Scheduled On date with the From Time and To Time.
- Add the Interviewers to the panel.
- Save, then Submit.
Frappe HR can notify the interviewers and the candidate, so everyone has the details without separate emails.
Skills, feedback and scoring
Because the interview inherits the round’s expected skill set, interviewers rate the candidate against those defined skills through Interview Feedback. Their ratings produce an average score, and the interview moves through statuses typically Pending, then Cleared or Rejected to record the outcome. The result feeds back to the Job Applicant’s pipeline.
NOTE
The quality of the scoring depends on the Interview Round’s skill set. If a round has no meaningful skills defined, interviewers have nothing structured to rate against so set the round up properly before scheduling interviews on it.
TIP
Add every panel member as an interviewer so each can submit their own feedback. Multiple independent ratings give a fairer average and a clearer picture than relying on one person’s view of the candidate.

SUMMARY
An Interview schedules and records a candidate interview for a given round. Create one by selecting the job applicant and interview round (which brings in the type and expected skill set), setting the date and time, and adding interviewers, then submit with optional notifications to all involved. Interviewers rate the candidate against the round’s skills via Interview Feedback, producing an average score and a Cleared/Rejected outcome that flows back to the applicant’s pipeline. Well-defined rounds make the scoring meaningful.
