Create a Questions Template
A questions template lets you build a reusable set of interview questions for multiple jobs. It saves time, keeps your interview process consistent, and makes it easier to compare candidates across roles.
Steps to Create a Questions Template
Open Settings
Open your Xinterview workspace and go to the Settings page.
You manage workspace-level templates from Settings.
Open Questions Templates
Select the Questions Templates section in Settings.
This section lists the templates you have already created.
Create a new template
Click the Create New Template button.
A blank template opens so you can start building your question set.
Name the template
Enter a template name that clearly describes its purpose.
Use a name that makes it easy to understand which role or interview stage the template supports.
Add questions
Add the questions you want to reuse across jobs.
Start with the core questions you want every candidate to answer for this role.
Customize question settings
Adjust each question type and any available settings.
Use the question format that best fits the answer you want to collect.
Review the template
Review the full template before saving it.
Check the wording, order, and settings to make sure the template matches the interview you want to run.
Save the template
Save the template when everything looks correct.
The template is now ready to use for new jobs.
Best Practices
- Use descriptive template names that make the template purpose clear at a glance.
- Include questions tied to the role's core competencies.
- Mix question types to match the kind of answer you need.
- Keep wording clear and direct so candidates understand what you are asking.
- Include behavioral, technical, and situational questions when they fit the role.
- Test the template with a sample candidate flow before using it broadly.
- Review and update templates regularly as roles and hiring needs change.
- Create role-specific templates instead of relying on one generic question set.
- Document the intent behind each question so reviewers understand why it is included.
- Keep templates focused so each one supports a specific interview goal.
Questions templates help you work faster and keep evaluations consistent across your organization.
