About this template

Hiring goes slow when nobody owns the next step. This project is one candidate's loop: each stage a task with a date, feedback written the same day, references called before the offer, and the offer itself with a deadline.

Tips from the template

  • Name the project after the candidate and the role.
  • Write interview feedback the same day, in the task.
  • A stage with no date is a stage that will not happen.
