FAQ: Can I Re-invite a Candidate?

Can I re-invite a candidate for a position?

In Hireflix, each email can only be invited once per position. If you need to re-invite the same candidate, you must first delete the existing interview.

Step 1: Delete Interview

Use the delete mutation under Interview to remove the old interview request.

mutation DeleteInterview {
  Interview(id: "INTERVIEW_ID") {
    delete {
      id
    }
  }
}

Response

If you accidentally provide an invalid or non-existent interview ID, the API will return Interview: null. Be sure to treat this as a failure case. GraphQL always returns an HTTP 200 response, even when the operation was unsuccessful.

{
  "data": {
    "Interview": {
      "delete": {
        "id": "INTERVIEW_ID"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 2: Re-invite the Candidate

Now, re-invite the candidate following the how-to guide.
