You can share a link to a candidate's profile with people outside of your account. You may want to do this:
- For reference checking
- For coworkers' feedback requests without giving them access to all candidates for a job
- If you are recruiting for other companies and wish to share candidate details with your client
Note: The sharing link will be available to view by anyone you send it to. Take care not to use the link in emails or calendar invites that include the candidate, as they would be able to see internal feedback and comments.
Using candidate links
To share a candidate's info with someone outside of your Workable account:
- Click the 'More actions' menu
in the toolbar
- Select Share Candidate
- Choose what you would like to share with the person accessing the link. Keep the 'Can comment' box checked to enable profile viewers to leave a comment that will be added to the candidate profile.
-
Copy the generated link to share however you'd like, or share the link via an email through Workable
- Preview the link before sharing it to verify that extraneous information will not be shared
Managing candidate links
To update access rights or delete a link, click the option to 'Manage shared links'.
Click Delete link to revoke access from people to whom you've sent candidate information or update the visibility and commenting permissions.
⚠️ Access to anything that you share will expire after 15 days automatically.
Disabling the feature
Our team can manually disable the feature for the entire account if an Admin user contacts us. When the share candidate feature is disabled, all members of your account will lose the ability to perform the share candidate action.
Any candidate profile links shared directly or via email will no longer work and will redirect to the Workable main page.
If you choose to re-enable the feature, our team can do so at any point.
FAQs
- Are the files attached to the candidate timeline shared?
- Yes, if you decide to share the candidate timeline along with their profile, any files that were sent via emails or comments will be included in the shared profile under the 'Files' tab. To make the files visible via the share option, you need to set the email/comment visibility as "All hiring team".
