interviewed vs interviewee

These two terms are related to the process of conducting an interview, but they refer to different roles. 'Interviewed' is the past tense of the verb 'interview,' which means to ask questions of (someone) in order to get information. On the other hand, 'interviewee' is a noun that refers to a person who is being interviewed. They are not interchangeable as 'interviewed' describes the action taken by the interviewer, while 'interviewee' describes the person being interviewed.
