Questions

Frequently asked

How quickly should candidates hear back?

The kit's standard is to acknowledge every application within 2 business days and update candidates within 3 business days of each interview.

Is it risky to give rejected candidates feedback?

It can be. If you share feedback, keep it to job-related facts tied to the role's requirements, and never mention personal characteristics.

Is this legal advice?

No. ModuleHire HR guides and templates are general guidance. Review anything that affects an employee with your legal counsel before you use it.

How do I get the files?

Right after checkout you get a download page and an email link. Everything you buy also lives in your library at hr.modulehire.com/library.html, so you can download it again any time.

Which states do the guides cover?

Guides on topics where state law matters, such as pay, leave, hiring, and terminations, include state notes for California, New York, Illinois, Texas, and Florida alongside federal rules.
