From one-off conversations to an ongoing cycle

This is what goes wrong without structure in the interview cycle, and this is how hrmforce handles it.

Without substantiation

  • Appointments get rescheduled and sometimes don’t take place
  • Appointments are listed in an email or a notepad
  • Feedback remains general: you’re doing a good job, keep it up
  • No one knows what was agreed upon last year
  • HR has no insight into what’s going on within the teams

With hrmforce

  • Annual planning with Bila, development review, and annual review set up
  • Work agreements recorded digitally, including who and when
  • Evidence-based feedback from a scientific questionnaire
  • All conversations are saved; you can pick up right where you left off
  • Organization-wide view of progress and bottlenecks
Explanation

HR Interview Cycle

hrmforce’s HR Interview Cycle supports your entire annual cycle, not just a single interview. Within that cycle, you can digitally schedule the reviews you need: the one-on-one review, one-on-one+, the development review, and the annual review. hrmforce helps you set up these reviews and provides a suitable questionnaire for each type of review.

After uploading employee data—either manually or via API—teams can get started right away. The follow-up meeting is the digital alternative to your to-do list in email or a notepad: you set specific work agreements and record who will do what and when. That way, no agreements are ever forgotten.

The development interview is a cycle designed specifically for operational employees, structured around five themes: work, learning and development, health and fitness, collaboration and leadership, and family and social connections. The input results in a concrete action plan; all discussions are saved so you can track your progress over time.

Step-by-Step Guide

Here’s what the interview cycle looks like in practice

From one-off conversations with no follow-up to a self-sustaining annual cycle.

  1. 1

    Set up a cycle

    You choose which meetings to hold each year: BILA, BILA+, development meetings, and annual reviews. For each type of meeting, a suitable questionnaire and meeting outline are provided. We set up the cycle and create the schedule for the entire year.

  2. 2

    Onboarding employees

    Employee data is entered into the portal manually or via API. Managers and employees each have their own dashboard and can see which meetings are scheduled and when.

  3. 3

    Preparing with a questionnaire

    Before the meeting, the employee fills out the questionnaire for a development discussion covering five themes: work, learning and development; health and fitness; collaboration and leadership; and family and social contacts. Both participants start with the same information.

  4. 4

    Conducting conversations and scheduling appointments

    During the meeting, you’ll set specific work and development agreements: who does what, and when. This replaces the to-do list in the email.

  5. 5

    Track Progress

    The tool saves all conversations and tracks progress on agreements. At the next meeting, you pick up where you left off, and HR can see organization-wide what’s working and what isn’t.

The result: interviews that actually take place, appointments that don’t fall through, and a file you can use for performance reviews and professional development.
