PROMPT

Create a skill called "Candidate Experience Survey Builder". Inputs: - Hiring funnel stages we use - Survey channel (email form, post-interview pulse, etc.) - What we want to measure (speed, clarity, fairness, respect) Output: 1) A 6–10 question survey (mix of NPS-style + specific items) 2) Stage-based variants (post-apply, post-interview, post-offer) 3) A de-identified analysis guide: - what metrics to track monthly - how to spot top friction points 4) A candidate-friendly intro and privacy note

How It Works

Define your funnel stages and what you want to measure. The skill writes

stage-specific surveys and a measurement plan.

What You Get

  • A 6–10 question survey (NPS-style + specific items)
  • Stage-based variants (post-apply, post-interview, post-offer)
  • A de-identified analysis guide with monthly metrics
  • A candidate-friendly intro and privacy note

Setup Steps

  1. List your hiring funnel stages
  2. Choose the survey channel (email form, post-interview pulse, etc.)
  3. Define what you want to measure (speed, clarity, fairness, respect)
  4. Deploy surveys and review data monthly

Tips

  • Keep surveys under 3 minutes — completion rate drops off a cliff after that
  • Stage-specific surveys catch problems that end-of-process surveys miss
  • De-identified analysis prevents bias in how you interpret results
  • Share findings with hiring managers quarterly to drive change
