Overview
A consistent interview process reduces bias while also providing a way to benchmark and compare candidates to get the right fit. To enable a consistent and structured interview process, interviewers need to ask similar questions to every candidate applying for a role and assess them on the same set of skills.
Interview Templates helps you achieve a consistent interview process! For a certain role, go ahead and create a template of questions that you want to ask and the skills that you want to assess the candidate on. You can then use this template for interviewing every candidate applying for that role.
