## Abstract

Systems and methods for organizing, managing, and generating information and resources for use in connection with interviews. User configurable systems track upcoming interviews, generate interview packets according to user selections that are customized according to the intended recipient. A central server directs the creation of resources and notifications for pre- and post-interview activities. Questionnaires are generated for a variety of users according to a predetermined schedule and submitted answers are transmitted to one or more users according to predefined parameters.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for managing interview information comprising:
identifying an interview event involving an applicant and at least one interviewer;
receiving, on a central server, information about the interview from one or more interview information sources, the central server comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and a server-based processor;
storing the information on the computer-readable storage medium of the central server;
loading a template onto the computer-readable storage medium of the central server, the template comprising at least one field that is populatable with information related to an interview event;
populating a field of the template with the information to create an interview packet; and
transmitting the interview packet to a user device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the interview information source is at least one of a remote system and direct user input received on a user interface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the remote system is at least one of an applicant tracking system and a human resource information system.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
transmitting, to a user device belonging to the applicant or an interviewer, a form that comprises questions related to an interview event;
receiving the form from the user device once the questions have been responded to; and
populating a field of the template with information gathered from a response to a form question.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein:
the computer-readable storage medium of the central server has stored a pool of suggested questions for a system user; and
the method further comprises:
selecting a question from the pool of suggested questions based on the information used to populate a field of the template; and
including the selected question in the interview packet.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein:
the computer-readable storage medium of the central server has stored a pool of explanations, wherein each explanation is associated with a question from the pool of questions; and
the method further comprises:
selecting an explanation from the pool of suggest explanations based on the inclusion of a particular question in the interview packet; and
including the selected explanation in the interview packet.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein:
the computer-readable storage medium of the central server has stored a pool of interview tips for a system user; and
the method further comprises:
selecting a tip from the pool of interview tips based on the information used to populate a field of the template; and
including the selected tip in the interview packet.

### Claim 8

A method for managing interview information comprising:
identifying an interview event involving an applicant and at least one interviewer;
identifying a remote system that contains information relevant to the interview event stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
connecting a central server to the remote system over a network, the central server comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and a server-based processor;
loading a template onto the computer-readable storage medium of the central server, the template comprising at least one field that is populatable with information related to an interview event;
receiving, on the central server, the information on the remote system;
storing the information on the computer-readable storage medium of the central server;
populating a field of the template with the information to create an interview packet; and
transmitting the interview packet to a user device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the information comprises at least one of the identity of the applicant, the identity of an interviewer, the identity of the employer, the time of the interview, the location of the interview, the level of employment position being applied for, the format of the interview, and the number of interviewers that will be conducting the interview.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8 further comprising data mapping, on the remote system, the locations of information relevant to an interview event.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein:
the applicant tracking system further contains documents relevant to an interview event stored on the computer-readable storage medium of the applicant tracking system; and
the method further comprises:
receiving, on the central server, the at least one document from the computer-readable storage medium of the applicant tracking system;
storing the documents from the applicant tracking system on the computer-readable storage medium of the central server; and
including the documents in the interview packet.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8 wherein the documents comprise at least one of a resume, a cover letter, and a letter of recommendation associated with the applicant.

### Claim 13

A system for managing interview information comprising:
a central server comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and a server-based processor;
a template stored on the computer-readable storage medium that comprises at least one field that is populatable with information related to an interview event;
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and executable by the server-based processor that, when executed, performs operations comprising:
connecting, over a network, the central server to a remote system that has stored information relating to an interview event;
receiving, on the central server, the information on the remote system;
storing the information on the computer-readable storage medium of the central server;
populating a field of the template with the information to create an interview packet; and
a user interface configured to receive user input directing the central sever to initiate the execution of the program instructions.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the user interface is an online dashboard accessible by a user on a user device.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the computer-readable storage medium further comprises program instructions that, when executed by the processor, direct the processor to:
receive, on the central server, documents from the remote system that are relevant to the interview event;
store the documents on the computer-readable storage medium; and
include the documents in the interview packet.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the computer-readable storage medium further comprises:
a pool of suggested questions for a system user; and
program instructions that, when executed by the processor, direct the processor to:
select a question from the pool of suggested questions based on the information used to populate the field of the template; and
include the selected question in the interview packet.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The system of claim 16, wherein the computer-readable storage medium further comprises:
a pool of suggested explanations, wherein each explanation is associated with a question from the pool of questions; and
program instructions that, when executed by the processor, direct the processor to:
select an explanation from the pool of suggest explanations based on the inclusion in the interview packet of a particular question; and
include the selected explanation in the interview packet.

### Claim 18 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the computer-readable storage medium further comprises:
