Performance expectations ## What good performance looks like Use these outcomes to replace vague activity lists with the evidence the hiring manager expects to see after the person joins. Run-of-show plans expose dependencies, decisions, access needs, and contingency before arrival. Event close-out reconciles invoices, feedback, incidents, supplier performance, and reusable learning. Hiring-manager intake ## Questions to settle before advertising Record specific answers so sourcing, screening, and interview decisions use the same definition of the role. 1. 1 Which event types, audiences, frequency, scale, locations, venues, and delivery formats apply? 2. 2 What budget, supplier, contract, speaker, attendee, production, and communication authority is included? 3. 3 What travel, overnight, weekend, evening, lifting, standing, weather, and seasonal workload applies? Evaluation criteria ## Evidence to use in a Event Coordinator scorecard Agree the criteria before interviews begin, then score examples against the same evidence standard. Criterion Useful evidence Concern to explore Event control Connects brief, schedule, venue, supplier, attendee, budget, access, safety, and contingency. Focuses on attractive details while dependencies and responsibilities remain unresolved. Live judgement Prioritises safety and attendee impact, communicates clearly, uses authority, and preserves the programme where possible. Makes rapid changes without telling affected suppliers or recording cost and consequence. Structured interview ## Event Coordinator interview questions and strong signals Ask the same core questions in the same order, then use follow-ups to understand the candidate’s individual contribution. 1 ### Tell me about a live event problem guests never noticed. Strong answer signal Shows early recognition, safety, options, team communication, recovery, and post-event prevention. 2 ### How do you make an event accessible before receiving individual requests? Strong answer signal Covers venue, route, registration, communication, captions, diet, seating, sensory, and contact options.
