SMS Invites

SMS Invites function just like regular email invitations, but rather than sending an email invite to a candidate, candidates receive an SMS text message that includes their invite link.

Setting things up

To turn SMS Invites on, go to your Company Settings page and enable the Allow SMS Invites switch. Make sure to save your changes!

Sending an Invite

SMS invites are sent in the same way that email invitations are, by clicking on the Invite button on the Interview Details page.

Once you open the Invite drawer, you'll see a new Phone field where you can enter the candidate's phone number, then click send and the candidate will receive the text message below.

4. Do candidates receive Reminders to record via SMS text?
   1. Yes, candidates receive one (1) reminder 24 hours after the initial invite is sent.
