This Candidate Evaluation Form [DOC] is utilized to evaluate candidates during each of their interviews. If a candidate is scheduled for both a skype/phone interview and a campus interview, two evaluation forms should be filled out for the candidate. Additionally, if the candidate is interviewing with various groups throughout campus, and/or giving presentations, have the interviewing groups and audience members fill these out as part of the assessment process. 

This Screening Matrix Grid is completed by the Search Chair during the initial screening of applicants, before convening the Search Committee for the first time. The committee then utilizes the grid for an intensive screening to determine which candidates will be interviewed.
