The interview process is a crucial stage in hiring the right candidate for a job. It is an opportunity for both the interviewer and candidate to evaluate if they are a good fit for each other. To ensure that the hiring decision is well-informed, it is important to have a well-structured interview template that covers key areas relevant to the role.
A good interview template should cover areas such as the candidate's experience, qualifications, communication skills, and interest in the company. This ensures that the interviewer is assessing the candidate on relevant factors that are important for the role, and that the candidate understands the expectations of the position.

An interview template can help both the interviewer and candidate to approach the hiring process with confidence.
