One of the most used templates across all of our Rooster clientele is a schedule interview email. It’s the basis of everything we do as an interview scheduling platform, so it does make sense! Candidate self-scheduling has been a game-changer for our clients and their productivity. Not only does this empower the candidate at the beginning of the process, but it also removes the need for the interviewer to take part in cumbersome back-and-forth communications that add up with a lot of open roles!
So, how do you know what to include to make sure your schedule interview email is ready to intrigue that top talent you’re seeking? Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty details.
What to Include in Your Schedule Interview Email
When you’re setting up your automated interview scheduling workflow, one of the first (if not the first) emails is the schedule interview email. Typically, we suggest that you include:
- Candidate Name Personalization
- Role Applied For
- Company Name
- Interviewer Name(s)
- Interview Method (Phone, In-Person, Zoom, WebEx, etc.)
- Interview Duration
- Link to Self-Schedule Interview
- Details on How to Re-Schedule
- Details on How to Access the Interview
- Recruiter Contact Details
It’s not a lot, and the email can be kept short and sweet. In fact, it’s better if it’s short and sweet! No one wants to read a book of an email to interview for a job. So, how do you put this into practice?
