How to invite candidates

When your questions for the video interview are ready, you can invite candidates to participate in the interview and your colleagues to assess them.

Click on the 'Invite candidates'-button. The invitation form contains all necessary data but you can revise it any way you like. Enter the candidates’ email addresses in the appropriate field. You can copy and paste several addresses at the same time. The candidates will get their personal invitations and cannot see other candidates’ addresses.

Editing the invitation

If you want to edit the default invitation email, click "Edit" --> "Edit invitation email" and do the desired changes to the email. We recommend you to save your edited email as a template. Please note that templates can currently only be saved per video interview / position. 

Saving invitation email as a template 

If you make changes to the invitation email and you wish to save it as a default invitation template, you can do it by clicking the "save message as template" -button which appears under your name after your edits. Invitation email templates are video interview specific. 

Sending invitations by SMS

If you have the text message feature enabled in RecRight, you can send invitation messages 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 want to send them at the same time as the email invitations.

Invite yourself to the interview and make sure that everything works well

You can make sure that everything is in working order by inviting yourself before inviting the candidates. You can then receive the invitation, answer the questions and see that everything is alright before inviting the actual candidates. Once you’ve sent the invitations, you can start expecting their answers.

When the invitations have been sent, you can see gray icons in the bottom of the window that show if a candidate has seen your questions. Once a candidate has answered, their photo will appear instead of the gray icon and you can see the progress of the interview.

Notifications about new answers

All interviewers will receive an email message about new answers. However, you will not receive new messages from an interview until you’ve visited RecRight to see answers from the interview.
