Best Practices:
1. Include your company name in the opening paragraph.
Your candidate might have applied to several different companies, so be sure to identify yourself right away.
2. Specify the location or mode of the interview.
It sounds like a no-brainer, but be very clear about where or how the interview will take place. If you need to conduct an online interview, make sure that the job applicant has a good internet connection.
3. Specify who will conduct the interview.
You may not always know in advance who will be conducting the interview, but if you do, it is nice to be able to tell your job applicant so that they can address the interviewer by name when they arrive.
4. Give the candidate several times to choose from.
Most companies try to schedule all of their interviews within a short period of time when they are filling an open position. Pick several time slots within this period for your candidate to choose from. This will allow them to fit the interview into their schedule.
5. Include details about what the candidate should bring to the interview.
If you would like your job applicants to bring along a copy of their resume, references, or any other information, make sure you specify this in your email.
Final Thoughts:
A courteous and detailed interview request email will encourage the top talent in your search to respond to your request and show up for an interview. Including all of the right information in the email will demonstrate to your candidate that you value their time and sincerely want to learn more about them.
