Inviting Candidates via SMS for on demand

The following lesson will cover how to invite a candidate to complete an interviewstream on demand interview using SMS invitations.

1. After access to SMS invitation has been configured for your on demand interviews you may begin sending invitations via SMS.
2. Navigate to a requisition to begin sending SMS invitations.
   • If you have not configured any requisitions or interviews in your account, click here to learn how.

3. Click on the Invite Candidates Tab

4. From the Invite Candidates tab, make sure the One-Way Interview option is selected. Type the candidate’s information in the candidate rows. Click Add Candidate Row to add new candidate fields. You can also upload a CSV file to bulk upload candidates. Click here to download a sample CSV file.
   • If you’ve downloaded the sample CSV template, replace the information with your candidate information, save the file and upload it to bulk upload candidates. Please note: we recommend bulk uploading no more than 50 candidates at one time.
   • To send SMS invitations, make sure to enter a valid phone number in the phone number field.

5. With your candidate information added, click the SMS checkbox next to each of the candidates you’d like to receive an SMS invitation.

6. Click the Send Invites button.
   • If you invite a candidate that has already been invited to another requisition you’ll receive a system notification. This will allow you to decide if you still want to invite that candidate. If you’d like to proceed click Next.

7. Review and edit the invitation email template. Click the Send Email button to invite your candidates to complete the interview. Each candidate who is invited will receive an email invitation, and if the SMS checkbox has been selected, will receive a text message invitation as well. Both will contain a link to complete the on demand interview.
