What Happens When You Invite a Candidate

Updated over 2 weeks ago

When you're ready to move candidates from application to screening, Truffle makes the invitation process seamless and professional.

The Process

Send the invitation β†’ Candidate receives email β†’ Complete screener β†’ You get results

From your candidate dashboard, click "Invite Candidates" and the invitation is sent immediately. Candidates get a clear email with everything they need to complete their screening.

Sample Invitation Email

Subject: {{first_name}}, quick next step for {{job_title}} at {{company_name}}

Hi {{Candidate First Name}},

Thanks for applying to {{company_name}}!

To keep things fast and fair, we use a Truffle one-way screener. It's just a few questions and shouldn't take longer than ~15 minutes total. You can record whenever works best before {{deadline_date}}.

πŸ‘‰ Start your screener here: {{screener_link}}

Tips for a smooth recording:

β€’ Use Chrome or Safari on a reliable connection

β€’ Laptop works best, but mobile is fine in a pinch
β€’ Find a quiet space and make sure you have enough time to finish

Looking forward to hearing your story!
