Quick warm-up call
Make a 1-minute call with candidates before they receive the invitation email from Hireflix, covering the points above.
2
Send your own email
Send your own email before the Hireflix invitation email, with content similar to the warm-up call. See our example candidate emails for ideas.

Modify the templates you get when you create your account. Write in a way that prepares and motivates candidates for what they’ll face before and during the interview. Learn how to create and customize templates.
