Interview Type

Overview

Interview Type – Business Overview

Interview Type is a simple but important master record used in Dafater to define and standardize the different kinds of interviews your organization conducts during the hiring process. It helps ensure consistency, clarity, and structured reporting across recruitment activities.

What Interview Type Is Used For

Interview Type is used to categorize interviews based on their purpose or format. Examples may include technical interviews, HR interviews, managerial interviews, or cultural fit interviews. By clearly defining these categories, Dafater allows hiring teams to plan, track, and evaluate interviews in a consistent way.

This document does not record individual interviews. Instead, it provides a predefined list of interview categories that are selected and used throughout the recruitment process.

Prerequisites and Setup Requirements

Before using Interview Type effectively, the following should be in place:

A defined recruitment or hiring process in your organization
Agreement among HR and hiring managers on the different interview stages or styles used
Clear naming conventions so everyone understands what each Interview Type represents

Once created, Interview Type records are reused across all hiring activities.

Typical Workflow and Business Fit

Define Interview Types
HR or recruitment leadership creates Interview Type records based on how interviews are conducted in the organization.
Use During Recruitment
When scheduling or managing interviews, users select the appropriate Interview Type to indicate the purpose of that interview.
Track and Review
Over time, Interview Types help HR teams analyze hiring processes, such as how many candidates go through each interview stage.
Standardize Hiring Practices
Interview Type ensures that interviews are structured and consistently applied across departments and roles.

Key Business Scenarios Where Interview Type Is Essential

Multi-stage hiring processes where candidates go through several interview rounds
Large organizations that need consistent hiring practices across teams or locations
Reporting and analysis of recruitment efficiency by interview category
Clear communication between HR, interviewers, and hiring managers

Important Considerations for Users

Keep Interview Type names clear and descriptive so they are easily understood
Avoid creating too many Interview Types, which can cause confusion
Review Interview Types periodically to ensure they still reflect current hiring practices
Treat Interview Type as a standard reference, not a transactional record

In summary, Interview Type plays a foundational role in organizing and standardizing interviews in Dafater, helping businesses run a structured, transparent, and scalable recruitment process.
