Interview Rounds

Round templates define the stages of your interview process. Create reusable templates and link them to positions.

What is a Round Template?

A round template is a blueprint for an interview stage. It defines:

  • Name - The type of interview (e.g., "Phone Screen", "Technical Interview")
  • Description - Details about what this round evaluates
  • Questions - The set of questions to ask candidates
  • Position Links - Which positions use this round
How Rounds Work
1
Create Round Templates

Define your interview stages (Phone Screen, Technical, Cultural Fit, etc.)

2
Link to Positions

Associate round templates with positions that need those interview stages

3
Add Questions

Attach questions from the question bank to each round template

4
Conduct Interviews

When recording an interview, select the round template to use its questions

Common Round Types
Typical interview stages you might create
Phone Screen

Initial screening call to assess basic qualifications and interest

Technical Interview

Assess technical skills, problem-solving, and domain knowledge

Behavioral Interview

Evaluate soft skills, teamwork, and past experiences

Cultural Fit

Assess alignment with company values and team dynamics

Final Round

Senior leadership interview and final evaluation

Case Study

Creating a Round Template
  1. Navigate to Rounds from the sidebar
  2. Click the "New Round" button
  3. Enter the round details:
    • Name (e.g., "Technical Interview")
    • Description (what this round evaluates)
  4. Click "Create Round" to save
  5. After creation, link the round to positions and add questions
Linking Rounds to Positions

A round template must be linked to a position before it can be used for interviews:

  1. Go to the round template's detail page
  2. Find the "Linked Positions" section
  3. Click "Link Position"
  4. Select the position(s) to link

Note: The same round template can be linked to multiple positions. For example, a "Phone Screen" round can be used for all open positions.

Adding Questions to Rounds

Each round template can have multiple questions from the question bank:

  1. Go to the round template's detail page
  2. Click "Add Question"
  3. Select questions from the question bank
  4. Questions will be displayed during interview recording

Tip: Create questions in the Question Bank first, then link them to round templates. Questions can be reused across multiple rounds.

Best Practices
  • Create generic round templates that can be reused across positions
  • Use clear, descriptive names that indicate the interview stage
  • Add descriptions to help interviewers understand the round's purpose
  • Include 5-10 questions per round for comprehensive evaluation
  • Set up all rounds for a position before starting interviews
