Sending Invitations

There are two ways candidates can receive their interview invitation.

Automatic Invitations

If you've configured messages in the position's Invites & Reminders setup, WiseWay sends the invitation automatically using your chosen template and timing.

This is the recommended approach — it ensures every candidate is contacted promptly and consistently.

Manual Invitations

If the messages section is left empty (no templates configured), no automatic invitation is sent. Instead:

1. Go to the candidate list for the position
2. Click on the candidate
3. Copy their personal interview link
4. Send it via any channel you prefer — email, LinkedIn message, WhatsApp, etc.

Tips for Higher Completion Rates

1. Quick warm-up call — a brief 1-minute call before the formal invitation dramatically increases completion rates
2. Send your own email first — let candidates know the WiseWay invitation is coming so they don't ignore it
3. Personalise templates — include the candidate's name, position title, and expected duration
4. Use reminders — combine email and SMS for maximum reach (e.g. email invite + SMS reminder after 24 hours)
5. Warn about spam filters — some email providers (Hotmail, Outlook) may filter automated emails — an SMS heads-up helps
