Hiring guide

Build a more considerate candidate experience

Make the role, the process and the next step clear at every point in an application.

Set expectations before the application

Explain what the person will do, where they will work and which requirements matter. Keep application questions proportionate to the initial decision. Try the application on a phone and with a keyboard, including the document upload, before sharing the job.

Close the communication gaps

Assign someone to candidate communication at each stage. Tell candidates what the next conversation covers, how to prepare and when they should expect an update. If a decision is delayed, send a useful update rather than leaving the original promise unanswered.

Draft connects candidate records with applications and communication, while job-specific stages help a team see the current step. Review a sample of completed and withdrawn applications to identify where your process could be clearer.
