Purpose#

This blueprint helps recruiting teams reduce coordination overhead by standardizing movement from screening to interview loops. It improves speed without sacrificing fairness and candidate experience.

Required setup#

  1. Role-specific interview stages.
  2. Panel availability rules and timezone preferences.
  3. Candidate communication templates.
  4. Structured debrief form requirements.

Workflow steps#

  1. Ingest screening result: capture score, confidence, and reviewer notes.
  2. Assign interview loop: map candidate profile to relevant panel.
  3. Find time slots: generate options respecting timezone and interviewer load.
  4. Send candidate scheduling options: clear deadlines and fallback path.
  5. Publish prep packet: share scorecard, role context, and focus areas with panel.
  6. Collect debrief inputs: enforce structured feedback submission.
  7. Generate decision summary: compile signals and recommend next action.

Copy-ready workflow template#

Trigger: Candidate is marked READY_FOR_INTERVIEW.

Step 1: Create interview bundle (role, stage, evaluation rubric).
Step 2: Select panel from approved interviewer pool.
Step 3: Generate time windows by timezone and availability.
Step 4: Send scheduling message with confirmation deadline.
Step 5: Notify panel with prep packet.
Step 6: Collect debrief forms within 24 hours.
Step 7: Produce consolidated recommendation for hiring manager.

Guardrails#

  • Avoid unstructured feedback; require rubric-based scoring.
  • Ensure candidate communication uses neutral and inclusive language.
  • Track interviewer load to prevent bottlenecks and burnout.
  • Keep override and reschedule paths explicit.

FAQ#

Can this workflow support high-volume hiring?#

Yes, as long as panel pools are actively managed and scheduling windows are pre-blocked for priority roles.

How should we handle late interviewer feedback?#

Set hard debrief deadlines and auto-remind interviewers with escalation to recruiting ops if missed.

What is the best first KPI?#

Time from screening pass to completed interview loop is the fastest indicator of coordination quality.
