Plan, Coordinate, and Evaluate Interviews
Organising interviews for multiple roles and candidates in structured recruitment environments often requires more than just scheduling—you need to assemble panels, notify members, distribute materials, and ensure evaluations are captured accurately. Numla HR simplifies this process with a centralised dashboard that helps recruitment teams plan, manage, and track interview activities without unnecessary overhead.
Numla HR provides a dashboard to help HR teams manage interviews from start to finish. It centralises every step of the process—making it easier to coordinate schedules, distribute materials, assign candidates, and capture panel feedback in one place.
Key Features for Interview Planning & Execution
Each of the following features supports a specific step in the interview lifecycle, giving your team the tools they need to run professional, consistent interviews at scale.
Interview Board Setup
Easily create interview boards and assign members to specific boards. Whether the interview requires administrative assessors, technical experts, or cross-departmental representatives, the system allows structured board formation with tailored access.
User access is preconfigured based on category—such as internal staff, local authority, or external members. Board members can:
- View the job competitions they're part of (past, current, upcoming)
- Suggest their preferred date and time for interviews
- Submit expense claims directly through the system, which route automatically to the finance team
This eliminates back-and-forth emails, while providing transparency into board responsibilities and timelines.
Score-Based Panel Formation
Once interview boards are set up, Numla HR automatically places candidates into panels based on their preferences and pre-interview assessment scores. This step ensures that candidates are fairly distributed according to the competition they applied for and ranked appropriately by merit.
Candidates are matched with relevant panels depending on:
- The panel or job stream they selected during application
- Their ranking, determined by scores from earlier screening or assessments
This automated allocation reduces manual effort and ensures a transparent, criteria-based process. Each panel is time-bound, with clear expiration timelines, and hiring managers are notified in advance of any upcoming deadlines. This keeps the process moving smoothly and ensures no opportunity is missed due to administrative delays.
Notifications & Interview Materials
Numla HR notifies board members of their assigned interviews, along with time, date, candidate details, and relevant documents.
You can include:
- Candidate CVs and cover letters
- Job descriptions and evaluation criteria
- Interview guides or role-specific scoring sheets
This ensures that each interviewer is fully prepared and reviewing candidates against the same set of expectations—improving fairness and decision-making.
Structured Note-Taking & Evaluation
During the interview, board members can take structured notes, score candidates against predefined criteria, and submit evaluations—all within the system.
Notes can be entered via:
- Typed input
- Audio recording
- Real-time speech-to-text
This eliminates manual forms and fragmented feedback collection. It also ensures:
- Scores are consistently captured
- Notes are easy to refer back to during shortlisting
- Final decisions are based on complete, auditable feedback
Once interviews are complete, the system compiles scores and generates a recommendation sheet, ready for digital signatures by all relevant board members and approvers, such as HR, Finance, or other designated stakeholders.
