Send Manual Reminders (Email & SMS)

Keeping your candidates engaged is key to a fast hiring process. If you notice a candidate hasn't started the interview, or the interview deadline is approaching, a quick nudge can make all the difference. Next to automated reminders, you can also manually send reminders via email or SMS directly from your dashboard.

Sending Individual Reminders

If you only need to reach out to one specific candidate, you can do it with just a few clicks.

1. Go to Invitations from the main menu, or open a specific interview template and go to the Invite tab.
2. Locate the candidate you want to remind.
3. Click the More actions (...) menu on the right side of their row.
4. Select Send reminder from the dropdown list.
5. In the pop-up modal, choose your preferred delivery method: Email or SMS, or both.
6. Click Send reminders to send the reminder(s).

The candidate's Last reminder timestamp in your table will update instantly, so you always know exactly when you last reached out.

Sending Bulk Reminders

When managing high-volume hiring, sending reminders one at a time is too time-consuming. Use the bulk action feature to nudge dozens of candidates at once.

1. Go to Invitations from the main menu, or open a specific interview template and go to the Invite tab.
2. Check the boxes next to the names of all the candidates you want to remind.
3. A bulk action bar will automatically appear on your screen. Click Send reminders.
4. Choose your delivery method: Email or SMS, or both.
5. Click to send your batch of reminders.
