Q06
Rating ScaleRequired

Min:Not at all likelyMax:Extremely likely
Q07
AI Interview

Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's overall effectiveness score by anchoring on one specific recent interaction with their supervisor — what happened, what the supervisor did or didn't do, and how it affected the respondent's work. If the score was very low (0-3), explore whether it reflects a pattern or a single incident and what would need to change. If very high (9-10), ask what the supervisor does that other managers should copy.

Q08
Long Text

Is there anything specific you'd like your supervisor to start, stop, or keep doing?

Q09
Multiple Choice

How long have you reported to this supervisor?

  • Less than 6 months
  • 6 months to 1 year
  • 1-3 years
  • More than 3 years
  • Prefer not to say
Q10
Short Text

What team or department are you part of? (Optional — helps us spot patterns, not identify you.)

Q11
Message

Thank you for your candid feedback! Responses are aggregated into a coaching report for HR and leadership so patterns can be addressed without singling out individual comments.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Pairs a quick quantitative pulse (matrix agreement statements, overall effectiveness rating, recommend-likelihood score) with an AI follow-up interview that probes the reasoning behind the respondent's effectiveness score, surfacing specific behaviors instead of a flat number.
  • Uses a max-diff question to force prioritization of the one area a supervisor should improve, avoiding vague 'everything is fine' feedback.
  • Includes an optional short-text department field and tenure question so HR can segment coaching reports by team or reporting length without over-collecting identifying data.
  • Opens and closes with plain-language chat messages that set expectations for anonymity/aggregation and confirm responses feed into a coaching report, which supports honest upward feedback.

Jotform

Internship Supervisor Evaluation Form Template

This is a static, fielding-ready form built specifically for interns to rate internship supervisors, so its audience is narrower than general HR/people-manager evaluation cycles. It's easy to deploy and customize via Jotform's form builder, but it's a fixed question set rather than a conversational, adaptive survey.

What it does well

  • Purpose-built for the internship-supervisor relationship, which may better match that specific niche
  • Backed by Jotform's mature drag-and-drop form builder and integrations
  • Likely free or low-cost to start given Jotform's general pricing model

Where it falls short

  • Fixed rating/checkbox questions with no adaptive AI follow-up to dig into the reasoning behind a score
  • No voice AI interview option or automated per-response quality scoring
  • Built for internship contexts specifically, not general upward-feedback or 360 manager review cycles

QuestionPro

21 Employee Feedback Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire Template

This page is primarily a guide/article listing sample supervisor and employee feedback questions rather than a single ready-to-field template, so setup work is needed to turn it into an actual survey. It does offer breadth of question ideas across HR feedback topics, useful as reference material.

What it does well

  • Broad question bank covering multiple HR feedback themes beyond just supervisor evaluation
  • Backed by QuestionPro's established survey platform and analytics tooling
  • Useful as a question-writing reference for teams building their own instrument

Where it falls short

  • Presented as a blog-style question list/guide, not a single fielding-ready survey template
  • No adaptive AI interview or voice AI to follow up on individual responses
  • No visible automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt methodology

SurveySparrow

Sample Supervisor Evaluation Form Template

A ready-to-use, conversational-style form template focused on supervisor evaluation, aligned with SurveySparrow's chat-like survey format. It's fielding-ready out of the box but relies on fixed question flows rather than dynamic follow-up based on individual answers.

What it does well

  • Conversational, chat-style UI that can feel more approachable than a traditional form
  • Ready to deploy quickly without much configuration
  • Part of a broader SurveySparrow template library for HR use cases

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe the reasoning behind ratings
  • No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or published prompt transparency

Typeform

Supervisor Evaluation Form Template

A polished, fielding-ready one-question-at-a-time form for supervisor evaluation, well suited to Typeform's clean UX. It captures structured ratings and open text but does not adapt its questioning based on what a respondent just said.

What it does well

  • Clean, well-designed one-question-at-a-time interface known for good completion rates
  • Easy to customize branding and question wording within Typeform's editor
  • Simple to launch quickly for HR teams already using Typeform

Where it falls short

  • Static question flow with no adaptive AI probing into individual answers
  • No voice AI interview mode or guided task/screen-share capability
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt disclosure
