Timely communication is especially important when it comes to successful candidates. Their experience with your hiring process may influence their decision to accept your job offer, if you decide to hire them.
Here is a post-interview email template that you can send to successful candidates to let them know they have moved on to the next hiring stage:
Hi [Candidate Name],

I’m writing to you today to let you know that we’ve made a decision regarding the [Job Title] position. We’re very happy to say that we’ve decided to offer you the job!
We were very impressed with your qualifications and experience, and we were particularly impressed with your [specific skill or strength that the candidate demonstrated in the interview]. We believe that you would be a great asset to our team, and we’re excited to have you on board.
We’ll be sending you a formal offer letter in the next few days, but I wanted to reach out to you first to congratulate you on your success.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
