Default Agent Templates

Default agent templates are pre-configured interview workflows that automatically apply when you create a new interviewer in your workspace. This feature helps you maintain consistency and speeds up the agent creation process.

How Auto-Apply Works

When you create a new interviewer, the system automatically checks if your workspace has a default template configured. If found, it creates the new agent using that template's settings, including:

  • Interview stages (form, resume, SMS, voice)

  • Question configurations

  • Evaluation criteria

  • Workflow settings

This auto-apply happens silently in the background when you start creating a new agent from the main creation page.

Setting Up a Default Template

1

Step 1 Create or Choose a Template

First, you need to have an interview template created. You can:

  • Create a new template from scratch

  • Use an existing template from your workspace

  • Create a template from an existing agent

2

Step 2 Set as Default

  • Navigate to your workspace's Interview Templates page

  • Find the template you want to set as default

  • Click the Star icon next to the template

  • Confirm your choice

Step 3 Verify the Default

The default template will show a Star icon filled with amber color and a "Default" badge to indicate its status.

Managing Default Templates

You can still create agents from any template without making it the default by clicking the "Use Template" button on any template in your list.

The Interview Templates page provides these actions for each template:

  • Use Template - Creates a new agent from this template

  • Template management is available through the Interview Templates section in your workspace
