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 deleteInterview mutation to remove the old interview. See Deleting an Interview for the full guide.

mutation DeleteInterview {
  deleteInterview(input: { interviewId: "INTERVIEW_ID" }) {
    __typename
    ... on InterviewDeletePayload {
      deletedInterviewId
    }
    ... on Error {
      code
      message
    }
  }
}

Response

If you provide a non-existent interview ID, the API returns an InterviewNotFoundError. Treat anything other than InterviewDeletePayload as a failure. GraphQL always returns an HTTP 200 response, even when the operation was unsuccessful.

{
  "data": {
    "deleteInterview": {
      "__typename": "InterviewDeletePayload",
      "deletedInterviewId": "INTERVIEW_ID"
    }
  }
}
