This free Google Slides template shows a recruitment process as a timeline that candidates, managers and HR can read at a glance. It sets out the stages, the durations, the key dates with owners, the people involved at each stage and the critical path. Each date is marked as fixed or flexible, so a slipped date is seen early and its cause is clear.

The sample is a hiring plan for six senior engineering roles at Glenmoor Engineering, a fictional company, running from March to May 2027. Its names, dates and durations are invented. Replace the stages, panel dates and owners with your own, and confirm each date with the people named before the roles are advertised.
