Learn about the invite options and which ones work best as per your sourcing channel
iMocha provides two invite options that you can use. Invite options can be decided when you create an invite link for your tests. The two options are:
1. Email Invite
a. Bulk Invites
2. Open Link
1. Email Invite
Email Invite means that the candidate whose email address is specified will be eligible to appear for the tests. This type of invite is used when there is a limited number of candidates, say 10-50 in one go. Typically, for less than a hundred candidates, this option is recommended. For example, the number of applications for lateral hiring will usually be less, as it is for a specialized position. In that case, Email Invites are the best option to go forward. When you select the Email Invite, enter the email address and configure the access time and proctoring details. The email is sent through the system with auto-follow-ups.
a. Bulk Invites
You can send a maximum of 1000 test invites at once by using bulk invites. The Bulk invite option is for a large number of invites, mostly above 100. It eliminates the hassle of adding delimiters between every email address. After clicking on the option saying Bulk invite up to 1000 candidates (.xlsx file), you can download the sample excel template as directed in the picture below. Input your candidate email addresses in this file and upload it using Bulk Email Upload.
Click Send Invitations. Processing the invites might take up to 10-15 minutes. Once the process is complete, you will get an email with a summary of your invitations. You can use the attachment file (sent if failed/invalid emails are encountered) to make corrections and re-send invites to failed invitations.
Your candidates will receive a test invitation email containing the important link as shown below:
This email contains a Link called check system now, which will redirect candidates to a system check page, where they can ensure that their browsers and devices are compatible with the test platform. This will prepare candidates to avoid any technical failures during the assessment.
2. Open Link
Open Link invite is used for bulk or university hiring wherein the number of candidates is high, making it inconvenient to enter everyone's email addresses. Open Link invite generates a test link immediately, which can be shared through any medium like email, messengers, LinkedIn, or your career page. There is no need to enter any email address for an Open Link invite, configure the access time, or enter the proctoring details.
Knowing which invite type to use certainly speeds up the hiring process.
