Password-Protect Interview and Review Links

Trakstar Hire allows you to password-protect interview and review links to help secure candidate information. When this feature is enabled, reviewers and interviewers must enter a password before they can access shared candidate information through an interview or review link.

Password protection helps prevent unauthorized access if a link is accidentally forwarded or shared with someone who should not have access.

About Password Protection

Password protection applies to:

• Interview links
• Review links

When enabled, recipients must be logged into their Hire account before they can view the shared candidate information.

Enable Password Protection

Administrators can enable password protection for interview and review links from the account settings.

To enable password protection:

1. Navigate to Settings.

2. Go to Interview and review configurations

   

3. Enable the option to require passwords for interview and review links.
4. Save your changes.

After the setting is enabled, newly generated interview and review links require a password before recipients can access them. For example, when a profile is shared to an interviewer, they'll need to be logged in to view the interview details once they click on one of these links.

If they're not logged in, they'll see the login screen.

Once logged in, they can see the interview details.

Note: Existing links may continue to function according to the settings that were in effect when they were created.

Disable Password Protection

If your organization no longer requires password protection:

1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Locate the Interview and review configurations setting.
3. Disable the feature.
4. Save your changes.

Future interview and review links will no longer require a password unless the feature is re-enabled.

Additional Information

• Password protection helps safeguard candidate information shared outside your organization.
• Consider leaving password protection enabled whenever sensitive candidate information is shared with external reviewers or interviewers.
