Evaluation Forms (Structured Feedback after Interviews)
Using Mingle’s Evaluation Forms, you can build structured feedback templates and complete candidate assessments directly within the platform. This eliminates the need to store files externally or email forms to hiring managers.
Here's how it works:
1. Create an evaluation form
The templates for evaluation forms are simple to create and, once saved, you can use them for any candidate.
How to create them?
Open any candidate’s profile. In the top-right corner, beneath the candidate’s status, click the Evaluationbutton (the last item in the list, following Interview).
Then, click Customize forms
A new window will open where you’ll see the Add form button and a list of existing templates (if you or your team members have created any previously). To build a new one, simply click Add form
Name your template, then start adding questions by clicking the Add question button
Here, you will see a list of response types available:
- Answer with rating – a rating-style evaluation. Respondents can provide a score from 1 to 5 and add a comment.
- Short answer – used for brief, single-line responses (e.g., yes/no, a date, or 'he/she is a good fit')
- Long answer – used for more detailed, multi-line responses
For each question, you can select only one response type and choose whether it is mandatory or optional.
By default, you will have a dedicated Conclusion field, where the evaluator can leave a brief summary or mention another user to notify them. Once you have finished adding your questions, don't forget to save the form.
Info
If you add Score-based questions, the candidate's final grade will be calculated automatically based on the average of the scores provided during the evaluation.
2. Edit existing templates
To edit a form, open any candidate’s profile. In the top-right corner, beneath the candidate’s status, click the Evaluation button (the last item in the list, following Interview).
Then, click Customize forms.
A new window will appear where you will find the list of previously created templates. Select the one you wish to edit to add, delete, or modify information, or to update whether questions are required or optional.
3. Add an evaluation for a candidate
The form ready to be filled out will open.
In the Conclusions field, you have the option to add a summary text and mention your colleagues.
Additionally, if you added Score-based questions, you will see the calculated grade above the Conclusions field, based on the average of the scores provided throughout the evaluation.
This information will be displayed in the candidate's history along with the form. It will be helpful to write a conclusion because you will have a summary that is quickly visible from the candidate's page, and you will be able to search using keywords from this section.
4. Edit an evaluation
Info
Changes made in the structure of a form will not affect the evaluations that have already been submitted.
How can you use the updated version?
You can add a new evaluation after the form has been updated.
5. View all completed evaluations
