Additional Information

Interview Templates allow you to control the types of questions asked during interviews so your management staff can reference them for different positions.

Example of how to structure a question in an interview template: 

Question: What is your weekly availability?

Placeholder: Note what days and hours the employee can work in a week. 

Answer Types that are a Scale will ask you to input the minimum and maximum rating to assist you with identifying if the applicant may meet Disqualifiers. 

Example of what a Scale might look like:

Minimum: 1

Label: unsatisfactory 

Maximum: 5

Label: Outstanding 

Disqualifier: Does Not Match

Select: 4 and 5 

Once you have Published and Saved the Interview Templates, you can use them when creating an Interview with an Applicant. 

Please note that candidates will not be notified if an interview has been assigned and scheduled in their profile. This information is for internal reference only and can be accessed by administrators. To ensure consistent communication, we recommend using Message Templates and sending them to applicants once the date and time have been confirmed.

Please note that only Super Administrators and Team Administrators with permissions to Applicant Tracking - Position-Based: Interview Templates will be able to create Interview Templates.
