Invite top matches from your talent pool

WISE may recommend candidates from your past or other open jobs who are a strong fit for your current role. Most of the time, it's best to invite these candidates to apply to your job first, but if they're a top match, WISE may suggest inviting them directly to interview.

  • These candidates are identified as top matches based on screening responses and other profile data

  • When they schedule, an application is automatically created for your job


What happens next

WISE follows up automatically. If the candidate does not schedule within 24 hours, WISE sends a one-time reminder.

When the candidate selects a time, they choose from your available time slots, and they receive a confirmation email and confirmation screen. Depending on interview type, the confirmation includes:

  • In-person: the address

  • Phone: confirmation that the hiring manager will call

  • Video: a meeting link


Track interview status

  • Once invited, the button shows Scheduling in Progress

  • Once scheduled, both you and the candidate receive confirmation emails

  • The candidate card shows the scheduled time

  • Activity is logged in the Notes/Messages section


Make changes if needed

  • You can reschedule or cancel at any time

  • Candidates are notified automatically

  • Cancelled interviews are removed from the card and logged in Notes
