Inviting candidates to your assessment

Willo is the perfect tool for hiring talented people anywhere in the world. Increase the quantity & quality of your talent pool by discovering and connecting with top talent remotely today.

Tips for creating your own template

When you invite candidates to an assessment it's a good idea to give them some context either over the phone beforehand or in the email. This will improve the chance of them completing a video for you.

Try to explain the main benefits to them of completing a Willo assessment:

  • Time saved (on average it takes candidates 20 minutes to complete an assessment)
  • They can complete it anywhere (Flexible around their schedule)
  • The ability to be seen and heard by the employer.
  • Assessed on the same questions as every other candidate (Level the playing field) 

Customising your templates

You can customize the email and SMS sent to candidates from Willo in the libraries section of Willo. Learn more about custom templates.
