The interview scheduling email you send your candidates should be clear, concise, and detailed. Depending on when the candidate applied for the job, this may be the first time a person reaches out to them on behalf of your company.
It’s crucial to make a positive first impression and provide the candidate with correct information to move forward in the interview process. Research shows that both the job interview process and the recruiter can have a huge impact on whether or not a candidate decides to accept a job.
