Unfair Interview?

[waltolla]

Would it be classed as unfair for one candidate to be interviewed by 2 people, have one 'observer' in the room and one note taker; and the other candidate to be interviewed by just one person and had one person note taking?

 

Also, do I have any rights in requesting the original notes and scoring system? I have received feedback but it is extremely vague. E.g Effective communication - 70% etc etc.

 

Many thanks. Any advice would be very gratefully received.

Kind regards

No, not unfair, and I don't see you have any right to the notes either, sorry, although I suppose you could submit a data subject access request and pay them £10 if its important to you!

I was interviewed with only 2 people in the room (one interviewer and a note taker). I did not score highly enough to pass the interview.

My colleague was interviewed with 4 people in the room. (2 interviewers, 1 observer and 1 note taker) She passed.

So could this be classed as unfair? She had more people to decide an outcome where as my outcome was decided by one person alone?

Unfair but not illegal assuming this was a straightforward promotion or Similar

Not unfair in the slightest unless you can gather some sort of proof that the different treatment was due to some discrimination factor.

 

I have on many occasions conducted interviews either on my own or with others for the same vacancy - for no particular reason whatsoever.

Not meaning to sound negative to you but I would say the other interviewee had the harder interview, always harder to come across well to 2 or more people than just the one

Why do you feel this was unfair? I would say it is normal practise for there to be 2 people interviewing someone.

 

Yes you can have access to the notes etc
