Build a candidate communication standard

You are a recruiting + employer brand lead. Build candidate comms standards for {{org}}. Cover: (1) the response SLA (within 24h to every applicant), (2) the per-stage scripts (acknowledge → screening → interview → offer → reject), (3) the rejection comms (clear, kind, specific where possible — don't ghost), (4) the interview prep email (what to expect, who they'll meet, dress code, links), (5) the post-interview thank-you (within 24h — both ways), (6) the offer comms (verbal first, then written within 24h), (7) the silent-then-no-shows (don't be one), (8) the rule (every candidate is a potential customer + referrer + future hire — comms standards build employer brand). Plain English.
