Recruitment and hiring: make Create the role brief and Hiring cycle complete visible in one plan.

This Recruitment and hiring template gives People and HR teams a bounded shared path through Set the hiring scope, Coordinate outreach and interviews and Close the hiring cycle. It starts with Create the role brief and ends at Hiring cycle complete, so the project has a named completion point rather than an open-ended HR process.

The Gantt schedule turns handoffs into visible dependencies. Add real dates and owners after creation, and use the milestones to make readiness conversations explicit without treating the template as employment, legal, or policy advice.

This public starter intentionally excludes Candidate personal data, Compensation expectations and Private interview notes. Keep personal, employment, and other sensitive information inside the secured system your organization uses.
