What this employee interview form records

For Conducting Interviews Of Potential Employees Form is an employer record for documenting a candidate interview, the position discussed, interviewer observations, job-related ratings, and required acknowledgments. It is not a federal employment-eligibility form, tax form, or substitute for Form I-9. An employer can upload the interview template to signNow, place or confirm fillable fields, route the record to the candidate and interviewer, and collect electronic signatures. signNow preserves the completed document and audit trail, while the employer remains responsible for lawful questions, consistent evaluation criteria, privacy controls, and retention decisions.

Preserve signed interview records carefully

Use a documented retention and access process for interview forms because the record can contain candidate statements, interviewer observations, and hiring decisions.

Set a documented retention schedule

Define the employer’s retention rule before collecting signatures. Interview forms may contain applicant information, so align the schedule with employment, privacy, discrimination, and litigation-hold requirements applicable to the employer and jurisdiction.

Export the audit trail with signatures

Export the signed interview form together with its signNow audit trail and certificate of completion. Keep the files linked by candidate, requisition, and interview date so an authorized reviewer can verify the record’s history.

Archive records securely

Store completed interview records in an access-controlled repository rather than personal inboxes or local downloads. Apply encryption, restrict sharing, and maintain an access log for HR and approved hiring reviewers.

Preserve the original signed record

Preserve the original signed PDF and avoid editing it after completion. If corrections are needed, create a new version, explain the change, and obtain fresh acknowledgment from the affected participants.

Protect candidate information during interviews

  • Limit the form to interview evidence and hiring decisions, removing Social Security numbers, medical details, and unrelated personal information before sending it for signature.
  • Use a consistent interview rubric with job-related questions, rating scales, and space for factual notes so reviewers can compare candidates without relying on protected characteristics.
  • Obtain electronic-record consent before signature when the candidate is a consumer signer, and confirm the signer can access, review, and retain the completed interview record.
  • Restrict completed interview forms to authorized hiring participants, use role-based permissions, and remove access when a recruiter or manager leaves the hiring process.

Process interview forms from draft to archive

Prepare the interview record before the meeting, route it to the required participants, and preserve the signed document with its completion evidence.

Troubleshoot interview form workflows

Find practical answers for field setup, candidate consent, plan selection, access control, and the boundary between interview records and Form I-9.

Upload the original interview template again, then use signNow’s field-detection and editor tools to place candidate, interviewer, date, rating, and signature fields manually where needed.

The signNow Business plan includes templates, audit trails, and mobile apps. Business Premium adds bulk send, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication for workflows requiring stronger identity controls.

Use signNow’s audit trail and certificate of completion to show access, timestamps, actions, and signatures. ESIGN and UETA recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established.

For consumer-facing electronic records, provide the ESIGN disclosure, explain the right to paper records, confirm electronic access, and describe how consent may be withdrawn under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).

Use role-based permissions and remove delegated access after the requisition closes. Store the signed PDF and audit trail in the employer’s controlled repository rather than forwarding candidate data by email.

Do not use this interview form as an I-9 or other government employment-verification record. Form I-9 requirements arise under 8 CFR §274a.2 and require a separate, compliant process.
