What it does
An invite link is a direct, no-login entry point into a specific job's AI interview. It works as a public share surface, meaning whoever receives it can click through and start interviewing immediately, the same interview configuration and scoring that applies to anyone who applied through the job board, just reached by a different door.
Links can be generated one at a time for an individual candidate or sent as a batch invite across a list of sourced candidates at once.
How it works
- 1
Choose the job the invite is for
An invite link is tied to a specific job, so the candidate who opens it takes the exact interview configured for that role, traits, rubric, and questions included.
- 2
Generate one link or a batch
For a single sourced candidate, generate one link directly. For a group, a batch invite sends the same job's link out across a list at once, rather than requiring the link to be created and sent individually each time.
- 3
The candidate opens it and starts interviewing
No account creation and no formal job board application stand between the candidate receiving the link and taking the interview. The link opens straight to the interview itself.
- 4
Results land in the same pipeline as any other applicant
Once the interview is complete, the candidate's card appears in the job's pipeline exactly like an applicant who came through the job board, scored, timestamped, and ready for screening rules or a recruiter to review.
The same interview, a different way in
A candidate invited directly takes the identical AI interview as someone who applied through the job board for that role, same traits, same rubric, same questions. The invite link changes how someone arrives, not what happens once they get there.
Batch invites suit sourced lists
A recruiter who sourced twenty candidates from outside applications does not have to send twenty separate links by hand. Batch invites cover a sourced list in one action, saving the individual-send workflow for the cases that actually need it.
No account required means less friction, sooner
Every extra step between a sourced candidate and their interview is a chance for them to lose interest or take a different offer first. A link that opens straight to the interview, without account creation, keeps that gap as short as possible.
Fits alongside self-scheduled interviews too
Some jobs pair the invite with a scheduling step, using public booking links so the candidate can pick a time that works for them without a back-and-forth email exchange, no login required there either. Others skip scheduling entirely and let the candidate start the interview the moment they open the link.
Who it's for
Who this is for
This is for anyone sourcing candidates outside the job board itself, a recruiter reaching out on LinkedIn, a company working a referral list, or a booth at a career fair collecting names to interview later that same week without a formal application step first.
Frequently asked questions
Does a candidate need an account to use an invite link?
No. The link opens directly to the job's AI interview without requiring the candidate to create an account or submit a formal job board application first.
Can I send an invite to more than one candidate at once?
Yes. Batch invites send the same job's link across a list of candidates at once, useful when a recruiter has sourced several candidates for the same role at the same time.
Is the interview different for someone invited directly versus someone who applied?
No. It is the same interview configuration, traits, rubric, and questions, for that job regardless of how the candidate arrived at it.
Where does the candidate's result go after they finish?
Their completed interview appears in the job's pipeline exactly like any other candidate, scored and ready for screening rules or manual review by your team.
Can a sourced candidate schedule the interview instead of taking it immediately?
Yes, if the job is set up that way. A public booking link lets the candidate pick their own time with no login required, separate from an invite that opens directly to the interview itself.
