French term or phrase: "support d'entretien"
I can provide two occurences where this term appears:

1. "Les supports d’entretien sont archivés dans les dossiers du personnel"

2. "Notez sur le support d’entretien les modifications ou informations complémentaires à la fiche"

I am thinking that it is somewhere along the lines of "interview medium(s)", but I would really appreciate any clarification here on this matter.

Many thanks in advance for your help and answers - much appreciated.

(employee) performance review (EN-US)


Explanation:
I think this just means an employee's work history as would be kept in the human resources office of a company.

Support d'entretien means other things in other contexts like tools.

An example of a 'support d'entretien is in the link below,

photo-elicitation interview /photo-interviewing / projective-interviewing


Explanation:
photo-elicitation interview
http://www.cairn.info/resume_p.php?ID_ARTICLE=ETHN_071_0079
Lors d’une enquête à Madagascar, l’usage de photographies comme support d’entretien (photo-elicitation interview) a engendré un certain nombre de « malentendus » qui se sont finalement révélés « productifs » dans la compréhension de l’objet de recherche. Ainsi apparaît l’intérêt heuristique de ce qu’on pourrait rapidement qualifier d’« erreurs méthodologiques ». À partir de cette perspective d’analyse réflexive seront discutées les propositions méthodologiques de John Collier [1967] ou de Dona Schwartz [1989] sur cette technique d’enquête.

During a survey carried out in Madagascar the use of photographs to support interviews (photo-elicitation interview) generated a number of « misunderstandings » that revealed themselves to be eventually « productive » for the understanding of the object of study. This shows the heuristic fruitfulness of what could be rapidly described as « methodological errors ». From this perspective of a reflexive analysis the author discusses the methodology proposed by John Collier (1967) and Dona Shwartz (1989) for this survey technique.

A “photo-elicitation” interview is based on the idea of inserting a photograph (either generated by the subject or by the investigator) into a research interview. This type of interviewing is also referred to as photo-interviewing or projective-interviewing. The photographs serve as a means of communication between the researcher and the participants.

Photo interviewing uses photographs as the basis of a depth-interview process. The visual images open the way for deeper reflection and discussion during the interview

interview format(s)


Explanation:
'support' can mean 'format' (i.e. a blank format to be completed by the interviewer) (Collins Fr-En 2005);
'entretien' = interview.

So what the source text is saying is that the (completed) formats are archived in the employees personnel files and
any modifications or complementary information should be noted on the interview formats
- both of which make sense to me!
