Interview Templates contain the questions, instructions, and evaluation criteria used to run interviews. Templates are reusable across multiple jobs and can be customised into Interview Kits for specific roles.
Navigate to Library → Interview templates and select "Create Interview Template" to get started.
A new template starts blank for you to customise to your needs.
Sections
Sections break down your interview into timed periods. Each section has:
Name (e.g., "Technical Questions", "Behavioural Assessment")
Duration (in minutes)
Content (questions, instructions, or evaluations)
You can add as many sections as you need. To add a new section, select "Add Section" and provide a name and duration.
Adding Content to Sections
There are two ways to add content to a section:
Browse Library
Select "Browse Library" to add content from your Interview Content Library. The library browser shows:
Your company's content from the Interview Content Library
Search and filter capabilities to find specific content
Preview content before adding
Add multiple items at once
Content added from the library maintains a link to the original, so if you update the library content, you can choose to update it in your template.
Create New Content
Select "Add Content" to create new content directly in the template. You can choose to create:
Questions: Interview questions with optional additional details or instructions
Interviewer Instructions: Guidance for interviewers on how to conduct the interview
Evaluation: Assessment criteria for evaluating candidate responses to sections of content rather than individual questions. (Note: this is only available on certain plans)
New content created this way is automatically added to your company's Interview Content Library for reuse.
Reordering Content
You can drag and drop items within a section to reorder them. Use the drag handle on the left side of each content item to move it up or down.
You can also reorder entire sections by dragging them in the sidebar.

Section Settings
ℹ️ These settings only apply when you have Jobs enabled with interview kits
Each section has settings that control what content can be added by hiring managers when they're creating interview kits:
Library Content: Whether content from the library can be added
Custom Content: Whether new content can be created directly
Label Restrictions: Limits on which library content they can choose from by specifying specific labelled content
These settings help ensure consistency and prevent adding inappropriate content to sections.
Confidential Settings
Templates can be marked as Confidential recordings and transcript. When enabled, interviews using this template will have confidential recordings and transcripts that are only visible to team members given explicit access to the interview.
To enable this setting:
In the template editor sidebar, find the Confidential recordings and transcript option
Toggle it on to restrict access to recordings and transcripts
Save your template
This setting helps protect sensitive interview content and ensures only job admins and people with explicit access to an interview can view recordings and transcripts.
