Add interview feedback

What it is

Interview feedback is a rating plus notes left on a candidate. Ratings roll up into the candidate's average rating shown in the Responses table. Feedback can be added two ways: inside the app by an editor, or by an interviewer through the feedback link included in their calendar invite.

The feedback form

Every feedback form has these fixed questions:

• Title - the interview title.
• Overall Rating - a 4-point scale: Strong No, No, Yes, Strong Yes (required).
• Additional Notes - free-form rich text (optional).

If the interview uses a feedback template, its custom questions (rating / short text / rich text, some marked required) appear as well. See Feedback templates.

Add feedback inside the app

1. Open the form's Responses page and open the candidate (focus view).
2. Go to the Interviews section.
3. Click Add Feedback on an interview card, or + Add Feedback to add standalone feedback not tied to a specific interview.
4. Set the Overall Rating, fill any template questions and notes, then click Add feedback. (You'll be prompted if a required question or the overall rating is missing.)

Add feedback via the feedback link (interviewers)

If the interview was scheduled with a feedback link, interviewers get a link in their calendar invite (https://binary.so/interview-feedback/{token}):

1. The interviewer opens the link and signs in to Binary (the link is for the interviewer, not the candidate).
2. They land on the candidate's page with Overview and Feedback tabs.
3. On Feedback, they fill the same form and submit.

Interviewers who aren't form editors see only basic candidate info and the application responses - not comments, AI evaluations, labels, or other interviewers' feedback.

How ratings roll up

• The candidate's average rating (shown in the Responses table) is the average of all Overall Ratings left on them, to one decimal place.
• A candidate is flagged as having feedback once at least one feedback entry exists.
• Multiple people can leave feedback on the same candidate; all entries are kept and averaged.

Notes & limits

• Who can add feedback: form editors (in the app), and anyone with the feedback link who signs in (typically the invited interviewers).
• Who can see feedback: workspace Admins see all; editors see it subject to field protection; external interviewers see only what their link allows.
• To edit submitted feedback, delete the existing entry and add it again.
• Feedback templates with custom questions require the Business plan; the default rating + notes form works without it.
