How to use this template

When to use it

Use this template when you need a structured hr workflow for Recruiting, Operations, Technology teams. It works best when the response needs enough context for a reviewer to take the next step without sending several follow-up messages.

How to customize it

  • Replace generic labels with language your respondents already use.
  • Move optional questions later in the form so the first page stays easy to complete.
  • Add internal routing notes or tags if different team members handle different response types.
  • Pair scores with one focused follow-up question so your team understands the reason behind the rating.
  • Use ranking questions when priorities matter more than selecting every applicable option.
