If it is unstructured information and relates to appointments (or other personnel matters), the amendment to the DPA (DPA 33A(2)) by S70(1) of FOIA seems to indicate that it is exempt from the right of access.

Subject: Re: Interview notes
Yes and unstructured notes if you're a public authority. So all those
"private" notes you make on your own notepad about an interviewee are
potentially disclosable as well, so make sure you file them with the
other papers and keep them in accordance with your published retention
times - especially the unsuccessful candidates!

Dear all
I am certain that this subject has been previously discussed but I
cannot find the emails. So if you all don't mind being patient with me,
could you confirm if in your opinion within the context of a selection
interview (as for a job), can the interviewee ask to see the notes made
by the interviewing panel when they were interviewing him/her for the
job ?
