Link Types

Public Link

Anyone with the URL can start a session. Use for job postings or broad distribution. Enable this on the Settings tab under Shareable Link.

Invite-Only Link

Each candidate gets a unique link tied to their email. Best when you need to control exactly who participates. Copy each link from the Sessions tab.

Session States

  • Not Started — the candidate has not opened the link yet
  • In Progress — the candidate is actively taking the interview
  • Completed — the session is finished and AI analysis is available

Filter the Sessions tab by status to focus on active or completed sessions.

Resuming and Retaking

If a candidate leaves before finishing, they can return to the same link and continue where they left off. To start a completely new session (e.g., after technical issues), use the Retake option — the previous session is kept for comparison.

Each retake creates an independent session with its own transcript and scores.
