keeping-candidates-warm-email-template

Use this keeping candidates warm email template to update candidates on the current hiring stage during your recruiting process.

Building a transparent hiring process helps recruiters form trusting relationships with potential hires.

Touch base with candidates to let them know:

• When you’ve received their application/assignment and are reviewing it
• When you and your hiring manager are moving onto the next hiring stage
• If there’s a delay in the hiring process

Emails keeping candidates warm should be brief and prompt candidates to follow up with any questions they may have.

You can customize this sample email for different hiring stages and take on a more casual or formal tone, depending on your company culture.
