Interviews
Let HBS manage your first-round interview logistics so you can focus on what matters: finding the right candidate for your position. Request an interview on our recruiting platform 12twenty, select your candidates, and we’ll manage the rest. Here’s how we help:
- Identify an application deadline. If holding a recruiting event, we recommend a deadline of at least 1-2 weeks after the event.
- Select an interview date with no academic conflicts.
- Book space on campus or post your virtual interview URL.
- Manage communications that:
- Notify students of their selection status.
- Remind students to accept or decline an interview invitation.
- Send selected candidates their time slots and locations.
