When to use this template

Customize for your workflow

Common questions

How quickly should I respond to a candidate's application?

Within 48 hours for the acknowledgment, even if you're not moving forward. Slow response is the #1 candidate complaint about tech recruiting.

Should I share interview questions in advance?

For some roles yes. For coding interviews and case studies, sharing the format and topic area beats keeping it secret. You're hiring for the role, not gotcha-testing.
