When hiring new talent, you will most likely meet your candidates for one or several interviews. By creating Interview kits, the hiring team will be aligned regarding the skills and traits you're looking for in your new colleague, and how to conduct the interview to evaluate them.

This helps you give all candidates a fair recruitment process and keep communication with your team smooth. The better the communication and alignment internally, the better the candidate experience. Win-win!

Once this feature is activated interview kits can be created in two ways:

Interview kit templates can be created by admin users under Settings → Templates → Interview kits. Once created, they will be available to add when setting up a job or job template.
​

Interview kits that are attached to a template will automatically reflect any updates made to that template across all jobs where they are used.

If needed, an interview kit can be detached from its template to allow for custom edits within a specific job or job template. In this case, the kit will not receive future updates from the template.
​

Custom interview kits created directly within a job are detached by default.

Admin users will be able to set up interview kit templates that can be added to jobs and job templates. Any updates made in a template will be mirrored in all interview kits attached to it in jobs.
​
To set up a template, go to Settings → Templates → Interview kits. Click the pink + button on the right-hand side to create a new interview kit template, or hover over an existing one in the list to duplicate it.

Start by giving your kit a clear, descriptive name and adding the instructions you want team members to follow. Consider creating different kits for specific roles or stages of the process, and use consistent naming conventions to keep them organized.

Next, you can add relevant skills and personality traits that are important for the role and that you want to evaluate with this interview kit. Skills will be marked in blue, and traits in yellow.
​
You can select existing skills and traits from the drop-down menu, or create new ones by clicking + Add a skill or trait. ​

​

In this section, you define the questions you want to ask candidates. You can either add questions to evaluate the selected skills and traits (1) or include general interview questions, for eg, the candidate’s availability to start (2).

By default, this setting is set to Available everywhere, meaning the interview kit template can be added to any job across all contexts.

Choose specific criteria under Only available for certain jobs or candidates to control the visibility of the interview kit template when creating jobs or job templates. The criteria can be based on department, role, and/or region/location. For each category, you can select either a single option or all.

Interview kits are added to a job or under the Evaluation step in the editing mode. Here, you will have the option to either select an interview kit template or create a custom interview kit for this job.
​
Interview kits are added under the Evaluation step when editing a job or job template. Here, you can either select an existing interview kit template or create a custom interview kit for that specific job.

Click Select interview kit to open a list of available interview kit templates.
​
Here you can hover over any template to preview the included questions, skills, and traits. Templates that match one or more of the skills or traits already added to the job scorecard will appear under Suggested.

Once an interview kit template has been added to a job, you’ll have the following options:

Admin users will also see the option to edit the interview kit template, which will take them directly to the settings page.

Click Create interview kit to build a custom kit from scratch. You’ll have access to the same setup options as when creating an interview kit template, just follow the steps starting here.

Admin users will have the option to save a custom interview kit as a template. This converts the interview kit into an attached template, which will then be available when creating/editing other jobs or job templates.

Once you've added an interview kit, you'll see the option to assign the interview kit to a certain stage in the process. This is especially useful if you're planning on using multiple kits within the same job.

The selected kit will then be highlighted on the candidate card under the Evaluation tab and pre-selected when booking a meeting with the candidate at the selected stage.

Candidates added to a job with interview kits will find them available in the Evaluation tab on their candidate card. By clicking Leave feedback you open up the kit so it can be filled out during the interview with the candidate.

The instructions added to the interview kit will appear first, followed by the selected skills and traits, and then the added questions.

If you're not ready to publish your interview feedback, you can save it as a draft only you can see. This allows you to continue working on that interview feedback later, from any computer. Auto-save will be triggered whenever you change or add an answer or a score in a draft.
​

In the list of Interview kits, you will see a small badge that indicates that the interview feedback is saved as a draft. This is also where you can edit your feedback.

Once you are ready to make your feedback visible to your colleagues, click the Save button.

​

All added feedback, from your team or yourself, will be displayed on the left-hand side of the candidate card, under Interview feedback.

If you’ve evaluated the skills and traits defined in the Job scorecard, a Job match score will appear as a pink bar on the job application. This percentage indicates how well the candidate fits the position, based on both the evaluated skills and traits and their assigned weights.

The Job match score is visible on both the candidate card and in the stages overview in the job process.

The breakdown of the Job match score can be found in the Job match breakdown section on the left-hand side of the candidate card. Here, you can view your own and your colleagues evaluations, along with the weighted skills and traits that make up the score.
