Share the conclusion of each interviewer. If all interviewers say “Yes,” each interviewer should still share any concerns. If all interviewers say “No,” each interviewer quickly summarizes his/her point of view on the candidate, just to clarify/calibrate. When there are mixed votes, proceed as follows:o Each interviewer focuses on demonstrated behaviors in the Success Drivers in question. o Additional information (e.g., PVP Fit, retention issues, etc.) may be discussed at this point in the meeting.o The “No” voter lists the Success Drivers where he/she has given a “1” or “2” rating. No additional explanation is given until each has shared his or her areas of concern. Split panel decisions cannot result in an offer. However, interviewers may change their mind after discussion and may record their new evaluation on the form. At the end of the process, if all votes are “yes,” an offer can be made. The final decision to offer the candidate should take into consideration all available data.Suggested QuestionsThinks and Acts Decisively: Integrates Knowledge and Thinks Strategically, Analyzes Information and Solves Problems, Uses Judgment, Makes Timely DecisionsLeverages Mastery: Applies Mastery, Understands the Business, Understands the Organization, Possesses Professional / Technical MasteryInnovates and Reapplies: Innovates Holistically, Creates, Improves Continually, ReappliesLead Questions:Tell me about a time you had a difficult decision to make.
