Successful Interview email template

Why does it matter?

It is important to notify a successful candidate as soon as possible. If you do not react quickly, your ideal candidate may go on to the same position with another company. It will help your candidate to narrow their focus and officially consider working with your company since you have taken the time to communicate their progress with them.

When to send?

Send this email to your candidate after you have reviewed the interview and received approval from your immediate manager or CEO. Inform them that they have progressed to the next stage of the hiring process. 

What to include?

Be sure to include the following information in your email to your successful candidate:

• The name of the company and the position for which they have applied.
• Congratulate on the candidate’s success.
• Set a deadline for responding to the email.
