1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every interviewer's independent notes before the group debrief starts, so nobody's first impression is quietly shaped by hearing someone else's opinion first.'
We 'collect notes' — the standard, simple collocation for gathering independent interviewer feedback before discussion. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Letting the most senior interviewer speak first in a debrief can ___ everyone else's genuine, independent impression quietly falling in line behind it.'
We say speaking first will 'leave' other impressions swayed — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting bias. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every rating against a specific example from the interview, since 'strong hire' with no concrete reasoning behind it tells the group almost nothing useful.'
We 'justify a rating' — the standard, simple collocation for backing an evaluation with concrete evidence. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a disagreement between two interviewers openly in the room, rather than quietly averaging it away into a number that reflects neither view.'
We 'surface a disagreement' — the standard, simple collocation for openly raising a conflicting view during a debrief. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the panel's final decision against the actual role's requirements, not against an abstract idea of a strong candidate in general.'
We 'calibrate a decision' — the standard, simple collocation for aligning a judgement to concrete, agreed criteria. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
