How to Invite Candidates via Direct Link

Share a unique interview link for a specific job so candidates can start quickly through email, social media, or job boards.

Share a Direct Link is a lightweight invitation flow for candidates who are ready to start. Xinterview generates a unique link for each job, so you can send the right interview to the right candidates without a manual setup step.

Use the direct link from the job you want to promote, then share it wherever candidates are most likely to see it. Common channels include email, social media, your website, LinkedIn, and job boards.

Keep the message short and clear so candidates know they are starting an interview for a specific role. A direct link works best when you want to move interested candidates into the interview flow immediately.
