Overview

When you send an interview invitation through Wizehire, your candidate receives a clear, professional message with a scheduling link and helpful context about next steps.

If they do not schedule right away, Scout will also send an automated reminder to keep the process moving.

Below, you can see exactly what those messages look like from the job seeker’s perspective.


What the initial interview invitation looks like

When you invite a candidate to interview:

  • The message comes from your company through Wizehire

  • It clearly states that they’ve been selected to move forward

  • It includes a scheduling link so they can choose a time that works for them

  • It provides helpful context about what to expect

💡 Helpful to know:

  • The candidate can schedule directly from the email.

  • The tone is professional and neutral across industries, including legal.

  • Once you click Send, the invitation is delivered immediately.


What happens if the candidate does not schedule

If the candidate does not book a time within ~24 hours, Scout automatically sends a reminder.

The reminder:

  • References the original interview invitation

  • Encourages them to schedule

  • Includes the same scheduling link

  • Keeps the tone polite and professional

💡 Helpful to know:

  • This reminder is automatic.

  • It is only sent if the candidate has not scheduled.

  • It helps reduce drop off without requiring manual follow up.
