It can sometimes be hard for recruiters to keep track of each candidate and which stage of the hiring process they are in. Sending reminder emails is a great way of ensuring everything goes smoothly, by making sure the candidate will be present for the agreed interview date.
Send this email within one week to a few days before the actual interview date. Doing so will ensure the interviewee has the interview in mind, instead of possibly realizing that they had forgotten the interview at the last minute.
Make sure to include the position they have applied for, the name and position of the person they will have an interview with, and a clear reiteration of the agreed interview date.
Please keep in mind that this is a template. You may change it to suit your company's voice and tone.
