The workflow pattern for managing job interviews illustrates the following process in detail:

If an applicant is to be invited for a job interview, the person responsible for the position proposes a date and time, together with any possible alternatives. He/she also asks the personnel officer to arrange an appointment with the applicant.

The personnel officer arranges the appointment for the job interview and changes that proposed by his/her colleague if necessary.

Triggered by the decision to invite the applicant for a job interview, the system assigns the candidate a letter of invitation. This letter can either be printed automatically in bulk processing or individually by the personnel officer. The letter contains the data recorded on the interview. If the personnel officer prints an individual letter, he/she must confirm that it has been sent to the applicant.

As of the start of the interview, it is the personnel officer’s task to create a log in the system. When this log has been created, he/she must mark the task completed.

After the job interview, the person responsible for the position must decide whether the applicant is to be offered a contract or rejected.
