I can’t seem to find anything on Interview or Interview Round in my own instance. Can someone help?

Couldn’t find anything in the menu, but if you search for Interview, then you can define one

Searched, nothing either.

I have a very new installation, V13.13.0

In my case, an IT company has many teams (mobile, backend java, backend python, design UI/UX…), candidates will be interviewed by leader of each team. So, what is the best practise to set name of interview rounds? Should each team need create a new round and add the leader to interviewer section to reuse for future interviews?

Hi @winter_wolf do you have any advices for the case?
