Ask exactly what happened, how it made them feel about the company, and what would have fixed it in the moment. If they reported a smooth experience with no friction, probe what specifically worked well so it can be replicated for other candidates.

Why this template
What this template is built to do — we found no directly comparable template from other survey tools to review.
What sets it apart
- Reconstructs the exact moment an applicant almost gave up or got confused, via an AI follow-up interview, instead of relying on a single averaged satisfaction score
- Covers the full candidate journey — how they found the posting, clarity of requirements, time to complete the application, and post-submission communication — not just a satisfaction rating
- Uses a matrix question plus opinion-scale and recommend-likelihood questions to quantify agreement across multiple process dimensions, giving both a broad and a deep read
- Includes an explicit 'almost gave up' screening question that routes into the AI follow-up, so the tool targets friction points rather than generic sentiment
