We have found a lot of success in sending direct emails from a company email that links to Willo and gives them an overview of what to expect when conducting the One-Way interview. Candidate's are often expecting an email to come from a certain person or domain, and we have found direct communication rather than via a 3rd party system works best!

I would agree with Summer here, sending a personalised email or message directly to candidates is an excellent way to improve the completion rate. Candidates are often expecting to see an invite from a certain email address and could miss the automated invite email. Remember to use the channel that you've already been communicating with them on email/whatsapp/slack etc for maximum engagement.

Create an engaging welcome video and make sure that the copy of the request is as clear as possible.

Option to have the questions being asked as a video, makes things more personal too. Feels more like a 2-way conversation than an awkward 1-way monologue.

### Comment 3

When you invite candidates to interview 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 an interview for you.

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

Time saved (on average it takes candidates 20 minutes to complete an interview)

They can complete it anywhere (Flexible around their schedule)

The ability to be seen and heard by the employer, they are not just text on a page.

Assessed on the same questions as every other candidate (Level playing field)
