formaliser les résultats d'un entretien

French to English Bus/Financial Human Resources Recruitment process in large corporation
En tant que Responsable RH en charge du recrutement, je dois Pré-sélectionner des candidats, planifier les entretiens et en ** formaliser les résultats**.

I'm looking for an eloquent way to convey this in English.

for Jeffrey: I agree. My point was that the outcome needs to be formalized because many options are possible. No doubt that the record goes to decision makers, they may eventually make an offer which the applicant may choose to accept. Actual hiring may also depend on checks and clearances, etc.

agree Jeffrey Lewis : Oh, a05, I'm sorry if I seemed contentious. It's been so long since I applied for a job I don't know how they do it these days...

present the results for comparison

What I'm guessing is that recruitment and hiring are two different things - that the recruiter sets the interviews, and tabulates the results in terms of the criteria established for each position - and then gives all this information in easily digested form to the person who actually makes the decision on who gets hired.

The "outcome" of an interview naturally appears to us to be hired/not hired. But there would be no reason to "formalize" that; you'd just record it. "Formalize" to me makes more sense if there are two stages in the process, and the recruiter/interviewer handles one and only prepares the other.
Peer comment(s):

neutral a05 : more precisely, the outcome is "rejected/put on hold/job offered/considered for another position", etc. hired comes much later, after the applicant accepts the job, at least
13 mins
If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that the result of the interview is information, which someone else will decide about. And doesn't "accept" come after "offered"? Then hired.

to formalize the results of an interview

Hello,

There is no reason why one would need to deviate to far from the French.

I believe that "formalize the results of an interview" works well in English. In fact, there is not a better way to translate it.

formalize = to adhere to a formal standard (recording an interview document, in this case)

I hope this helps.
