Interview Availability Email Template
Use this email template to schedule job interviews, letting candidates know what days and times work for you, before setting the final details.
Clarify all important details, like date and time of the interview and estimated duration during the invitation phase. Offer candidates two or three scheduling options, and decide whether you will use an in-person, phone, or video setting.
You will send three emails during this phase:
- An initial email to inform candidates you’d like an interview
- A second email to settle the details with a second email
- A confirmation email summarizing interview details
Customize this template with times and days that work for you. Clearly state in the subject line that this email is a first or second interview invitation.
