Email to successful candidate after interview

Especially when it comes to successful candidates, timely communication is important because their experience with your hiring process might influence their decision to accept your job offer, if you decide to hire them. Send the following post-interview email template to successful candidates to let them know they’ve moved on the next hiring stage. Customize this template based on how you structure your recruiting process. For example, if you want to invite candidates to a second interview, propose a date and time in this email.
