An email invitation is generally the preferred way to organise an interview, as you can include all the relevant details and the candidate will have a written record of those details.\n<h2>What should you include in an interview invitation?<\/h2>\nAn interview invitation should include all the necessary information that the candidate needs to know in order to attend their interview.\n<h3>Subject line<\/h3>\nFirstly, write a clear subject line so that your email doesn\u2019t get lost within the candidate\u2019s inbox. Your subject line should be clear, mention the company\u2019s name and highlight the opportunity. For example, a subject line for a Marketing Manager could take a few forms\u2026\n\nSubject Line #1: <strong>Interview Invitation: Marketing Manager at 91爆料<\/strong>\n\nSubject Line #2: <strong>91爆料 Marketing Manager Interview<\/strong>\n\nSubject Line #3: <strong>First Round Interview: Marketing Manager at 91爆料<\/strong>\n<h3>Introduction<\/h3>\nSecondly, especially if this is your first correspondence with the candidate, you should introduce yourself in the interview invitation and give some context to who you are. You should then say which company you\u2019re reaching out on behalf of and for what job title. Remember, the candidate has likely applied to several positions with various companies so this information will help them connect the interview to their application.\n<h3>Recruitment stage<\/h3>\nIf it\u2019s not the candidate\u2019s first interview, be sure to note the interview stage. This helps the candidate understand where they are in the recruitment process. This could be noted as \u2018Second Interview\u2019, \u2018Third Interview\u2019, \u2018Final Interview\u2019 or \u2018Presentation\u2019.\n<h3>Interview date and time<\/h3>\nYou\u2019ll then need to confirm an interview date and time through the interview invitation email. Be very clear when it comes to this one! Ask the candidate if the interview date and time works for them, or if they need another option.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_21029\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21029\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21029\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/06\/virtual-interview-email-template-2-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"stress-free videocall interview\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Providing clear instructions makes for a stress-free interview. Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@visuals?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">visuals<\/a> on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Interview type<\/h3>\nFollowing that, let them know how you will conduct the interview. Will it be conducted within the office space, will it be via video call or would you prefer it to be over the phone?\n\nIf you\u2019re conducting it on site, provide a location address and any instructions on how to enter the building. For example;<em> \u201cPlease attend the interview at Level 1, 123 Hero Street, Sydney. Enter via the main doors and ask the person at reception to issue you a visitor&#8217;s pass, then proceed to Level 1 and take a seat in our lobby.\u201d<\/em>\n\nIf you\u2019re conducting video interviews, make sure you\u2019re clear about how to access the interview and let them know if there\u2019s any kind of process they need to be aware of. For example;<em> \u201cWe are running our video interviews via Google Meet. Please access the interview via the link below using the password \u2018SYDNEY\u2019. You will then be directed to our virtual waiting room prior to the start of your interview.\u201d<\/em>\n\nIf you\u2019re conducting phone interviews, ask them if the number that they have provided as part of their application is the best way to contact them.\n<h3>Interview attendees<\/h3>\nWhile it\u2019s a non-essential step, we believe that providing the details of who will be attending the interview makes for a better candidate experience. Doing so gives the applicant a chance to do some research prior to the interview, and can generally make them feel more comfortable and prepared for what\u2019s ahead.\n\nYou don\u2019t need to give a detailed background, names and roles are a good place to start. For example; <em>\u201cJoining you for this interview will be the Director of Marketing Martha Jones and Marketing Specialist Ben Roberts.\u201d <\/em>We also recommend supplying links to attendees&#8217; LinkedIn profiles where possible.\n\nLooking for more help with your candidate experience? Download our free <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/candidate-experience-checklist\/\">candidate experience checklist<\/a>.\n<h3>Warm sign off<\/h3>\nWith all the essential information covered, the only thing left to do is wrap up the email warmly. Let the candidate know that they can reach out to you if they have any questions about the interview process, and kindly ask for their confirmation of the supplied information.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_21028\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21028\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21028\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/06\/virtual-interview-template-4-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"woman smiling at her laptop\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get your candidate excited about their interview.

However, we believe that some methods are better than others.\n<h3>Over the phone<\/h3>\nAs suggested above, communicating an interview invitation verbally over the phone is a popular option, but potentially not the most practical. Candidates like having all the details in a place that they can easily reference, like an email. If you communicate these details over the phone, they\u2019ll have to scramble to note them down and could make an error.\n<h3>With a calendar invitation<\/h3>\nAre you feeling tempted to bypass the communication and just pop an interview slot directly into your candidate\u2019s calendar? While you might save time, this is not an ideal way to invite your applicant to an interview. Without providing proper communication, including a warm introduction and an opportunity to confirm the time, you\u2019re not providing a great candidate experience which could cause your candidate to disengage.\n<h3>Interview invitation email<\/h3>\nThe interview invitation email is definitely our preferred method of sharing information about an upcoming interview. By using email, you provide a clear record of all interview details, and open up a considered dialogue between yourself and the candidate. Of course, our virtual interview invitation email template can help you structure this email.\n\nDid you know you can send automated invites with our ATS?

Remember to invite all attendees to the scheduled calendar event. Within the event itself, include a link to the video call and any necessary instructions required to enter the call.\n\nUsing <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/solutions\/recruitment-software\/\">recruitment software<\/a> can help you keep track of who has attended which interview, and where your candidates are in the employee pipeline.\n<h3>Check your own tech ahead of time<\/h3>\nAs a hiring manager, there\u2019s nothing worse than logging on to do an interview, only to find your software has to go through a round of updates. Prior to your meeting, make sure that your tech is up-to-date and operating well to avoid lateness.\n<h3>Be flexible to tech limitations<\/h3>\nTechnology and internet connections are sadly flawed, and that\u2019s not your candidate\u2019s fault. If you\u2019re experiencing disruptions, glitches, or impacts to vision and sound, deal with it gracefully.\n\nIf the issue becomes so disruptive that you can no longer continue the video interview, consider leaving them a message in the chat box that you need to end the call. You then have the option of calling them on their mobile phone to continue or reschedule the interview, or emailing them to discuss alternative options.\n<h3>Remember to be well presented<\/h3>\nWhen working from home, it can be all too easy to take meetings from the couch, in your track pants. Even though you\u2019re not technically the one in the hot seat, your presentation still matters in an interview.\n\nBy keeping to a smart dress code and positioning yourself within a well lit and nicely presented location, you\u2019ll represent your business well and show the interviewee that you respect their time and effort.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_21026\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21026\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21026\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/06\/virtual-interview-email-template-7-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"woman dressed smartly for interview\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dress for success.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Be conscious of eye contact<\/h3>\nDo you work with a laptop, but mostly look at a monitor off to the side during meetings? Maybe your eyes are more likely to flick to yourself than your camera (we\u2019re all guilty of this!)?\n\nAs much as possible, keep your eyes on your laptop screen and be sure to look directly at your camera plenty of times. If you look elsewhere, it could indicate a sense of disinterest or disengagement.\n\nAs suggested by <a href=\"https:\/\/masterclass.ted.com\/blog\/7-zoom-mistakes-to-avoid#:~:text=Direct%20eye%20contact%20can%20influence,look%20them%20in%20the%20eye.\">Briar Goldberg of TED<\/a>; <em>\u201cDirect eye contact can influence your audience\u2019s perception of your credibility, trustworthiness, even your ability to lead. But most importantly, your audience will try harder to stay focused if you appear expressive and look them in the eye.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>Sell your business<\/h3>\nSelling your business is incredibly important, no matter the interview style, but we would suggest it\u2019s even more vital when conducting an interview over video.\n\nWhen you\u2019re running a virtual interview, you can\u2019t show off a fancy office space or introduce the person to any friendly faces outside of the interview attendees. You can\u2019t make them feel comfortable with a coffee or have them overhear laughter from outside the interview room.\n\nWhen you\u2019re running a virtual interview, the interviewers have to create a friendly and welcoming vibe and sell a great employee experience. Take the time to talk about your company culture, social get-togethers, perks and other benefits.\n<h3>Know how you\u2019ll be evaluating the employee<\/h3>\nBe prepared and have a clear understanding between all interviewers about what you\u2019re looking for in a star candidate. Which answers do you want or need to hear, and what traits or skills would be great to see?\n\nAdditionally, think about what kind of responses might highlight an undesirable candidate. Not sure where to start? Here are <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/interview-red-flags\/\">14 interview red flags<\/a> to look out for. We\u2019ve also collated <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/interview-red-flags\/\">interview red flags which could reveal a bad hire<\/a>.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_21025\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21025\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21025\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/06\/virtual-interview-email-template-8-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"people working on their laptops\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21025\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Had a successful virtual interview?
