Watch: interview templates

Good interviews start with good questions. In HireBest, your questions pass through four steps: HireBest's best practice, your company's version, the guide for one job, and the guide for one interview. Each step starts as a copy of the step before it. And each step has its own owner. Every new job starts with the HireBest Standard templates, one for each round. They hold HireBest's best practice, so nobody starts from a blank page. A question can carry follow-up prompts and a note for the interviewer. A Standard is view-only for everyone. To make a Standard your own, an Admin or a Super Admin duplicates it. Only they see this library. Rename the copy, then fit it to your company: change a question, or add a prompt in your own words. Keep what already works. A new job still starts with the HireBest Standard. Your template does not replace it by itself. So on each job, under Interview Rounds, add your template and remove the Standard. HireBest does not lock a template, so agree with your teams that they use it. Now the job. A Hiring Manager or a TA Partner does not need the library. They use the job's Interview Guide. The first change makes a copy for this job only, so the library and other jobs stay as they are. Use prompts and notes to fit the role, and keep the questions the same where you can. Compare with the template shows what changed. Reset to template undoes it. Interviews that are already scheduled keep their questions until you apply the change. Apply never changes an interview that has started. The interviewer knows the candidate. On their own interview, Customise guide changes the questions for this one person. Nobody else's interview changes. When the interview starts, the guide locks. So an Admin sets your company's way. The Hiring Manager or TA Partner fits it to the job. The interviewer fits it to the candidate. A change moves down to new work. It never moves up. The help has each of these steps.
