Description

Interview type

What kind of interview is this - initial screening? Follow-up? Job satisfaction?

Interviewee

The person being interviewed. Use the Edit link, if present, to choose who's being interviewed or to set it to "(unassigned)" which indicates that the interview is scheduled but no one is assigned to it yet.

Interviewer

Staff member performing the interview. (You can set up interviewers from the Interview manager or from the Setup panel.)

Location

Where the interview will take place. Define a location of "Phone interview" in the Locations tool if appropriate.

Start date, Start time

Scheduled start day and time for the interview.

Duration

Estimated interview duration. This is used as the basis for crediting the interviewee with volunteer hours, if applicable.

Status

Cancelled, Completed, Cancelled by interviewee, Missed by interviewee, Missed by interviewer, Rescheduled, Scheduled or Unscheduled.

Reschedule count

Use this to keep track of how many times an interview has been rescheduled by the volunteer to know which ones are unlikely to show up next time, or simply should not be rescheduled again.

Result

Acceptable, Good, n/a, Needs followup or Unacceptable.

Score

How the volunteer fared in the interview, the values here can be anything appropriate to your organization.

Followup date

Use this field to note when a followup interview or evaluation is needed.

Comments

Any text comments. These can appear on reports and in mail merges.

On the left side you may see the link See transitions. If that link is visible, clicking it will show you changes that have been made to the interview's Status and Result fields. Note that only changes made by VSys One version 2.1 and higher will create those transition records. The link Require notification, if present, posts a special type of transition record. It tells VSys that the next time a letter is sent to volunteers regarding interviews, and that letter only goes to those whose interviews have changed since the last time such a letter is sent, VSys will consider the interview to have been changed even if you make no changes here.
