A standardized, pre-written message, often formatted as an email, facilitates communication regarding a scheduled telephone-based conversation for candidate assessment. It typically includes confirmation of the date and time, contact details for the interviewer, and pertinent instructions for the candidate, such as expected call duration or necessary preparation. An example would be a message confirming a scheduled call at 2:00 PM EST on July 26th, detailing the interviewer’s direct phone number and requesting that the candidate have their resume readily available.
The use of such a communication offers several advantages. It reduces ambiguity surrounding the interview process, ensuring both parties are aligned on the logistical details. This proactive communication contributes to a positive candidate experience and reflects favorably on the organization’s professionalism. The practice also saves time for recruiters and hiring managers by providing a reusable structure for interview confirmations. Historically, these messages were often personalized and individually drafted, but the advent of applicant tracking systems and automation tools has led to the adoption of template-based communication for efficiency.
