You can organise interviews in Pinpoint which are made up of multiple parts sitting within one interview stage, with the interviews running consecutively.
Set up your Interview Template
Sign into Pinpoint and navigate to Settings > Templates > Interview Templates > Create New
When in the "New interview template" screen, you'll see a toggle named "Split into parts?". Click this once so that the toggle switches to "Yes".
You'll see a new section appear, inviting you to enter the name of the interview part and the duration (in minutes) of this part of the interview. In the example below, I've entered "Interview part 1 with Dave" and duration "15" minutes.
Click on "Add New Part" to add another part to this interview template.
Another section will appear asking you to define the name and duration of the next part of the interview.
Continue with this process until you've defined all parts of your interview with multiple parts.
Scroll down the page and click on "Create interview template" to save your changes.
An interview set up with multiple parts runs sequentially. All of the parts of the interview will be scheduled one after another. For example, if you have three parts of an interview, and they are all 15 minutes long, then the total interview time will be 45 minutes.
If your multi-stage interviews do not run in a regular order, we recommend setting up separate interview stages for each part instead.
Adding the multi-part interview template to an existing Job
Follow the guidance in How do I add an interview template to a job? to learn how to do this.
Adding the multi-part interview template to a Hiring Workflow template
Follow the guidance in Can I add default interview templates to new jobs I create? to learn how to do this.
Setting the default hiring team for a multi-part interview
You can set the default hiring team for a multi-part interview by navigating to the specific interview stage within a Job and clicking on the Configure button.
You'll then see a section on screen titled "Default Hiring Team", where you can specify the default interviewers for each part of the interview.
Inviting a candidate for a multi-part interview
Similarly to inviting a candidate for a single part interview (detailed here), you can specify the method of scheduling, who will be part of the interview team and what determines the interview slots that are presented to the candidate.
The only difference with multi-part interviews is that you'll be asked to specify the interviewing team (and if using videoconferencing for the interview) conferencing host and conferencing provider for each part of the interview.
If the interview is being held through videoconferencing tools, we will generate a separate videoconferencing link for each part of the interview. This is to allow for the fact that there may be a completely different interview host and hiring team present at each part of the interview.
What invite does the candidate receive?
The candidate receives one invite with details of both parts of the interview, and if using videoconferencing, links for both parts of the interview.
The email confirmation for the candidate looks like this:
What do the interviewer(s) receive?
It looks different for interviewers, they receive a separate calendar invite for each part of the interview that they're invited to.
