Once the questions for the video interview are ready, it's time to invite the candidates to participate the interview and your colleagues to assess them.
First, click the 'Invite candidates'-button, as demonstrated below.
The invitation message will pop up. If your organisation's admin user has created default template for the organisation, the message is visible automatically. However, you can also choose Recright's default template by clicking "Select template".
Recright's default invitation template contains all necessary information about the video interview but you can make changes to the template in this view. We recommend to keep Recright's instructions in the text. You can also add bolded text, cursive text, and link with special formatting.
Enter the candidates’ email addresses in the appropriate field. You can also copy and paste several email addresses at the same time. The invited candidates will receive their personal invitations and they can't see other candidates’ email addresses.
Saving the edited invitation email as a template
If you make changes to the template, you can save the invitation email as a template for the specific interview by clicking "Save as interview's invite template". This button will be visible after you have made changes to the invitation message.
Saved templates are interview specific, and these changes are not affecting the future interviews invitation messages.
If you want to edit the default invitation email later, just click 'Edit' --> 'Edit invitation email' and make the changes to the email.
Sending invitations by SMS
If you have the text message feature enabled in Recright, you can send invitation messages to candidates by SMS. Fill in the candidate's phone numbers, and edit the message, if needed. You can also send text message invitations later if you don't wish to send them at the same time as the email invitations.
Invite yourself to the interview and make sure that everything works well
Did you know that you can invite yourself to the interview before inviting the candidates? This way, you will receive the invitation by email, you can answer the questions and make sure that everything is working as expected. If you wish to make changes to your interview, you can simply delete your test profile and modify the interview again.
Once you’ve sent the invitations to candidates, you can start expecting their answers.
Once a candidate has answered, their photo will appear instead of the gray icon.
Notifications about new answers
All recruitment team members will receive an email message about new answers. You will receive these notifications if you are logged out from Recright. You can find more information about notification here.
