# Let candidates apply themselves

> Share your template's apply link so people apply on their own — then HR reviews and schedules the interview.

Adding candidates one by one is fine for a few people. For a job post or a big
intake, it's easier to **share a link** and let people apply on their own.

Every Role comes with a **public apply URL**. Anyone with the
link can apply — no account needed.

```text theme={null}
https://intervyo.ai/apply/<token>
```

## How it works for the candidate

<Steps>
  <Step title="They open the apply link" icon="link">
    From your job post, email, or careers page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They verify their email" icon="mail-check">
    A 6-digit code (OTP) is emailed to them. This stops fake applications.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They upload a resume" icon="file-up">
    PDF, Word, or a scan. The AI reads it to ask better questions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They become a participant" icon="user-plus">
    A participant row is created for them under your template — automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How it works for you (HR)

You decide whether interviews start right away or wait for a human.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="HR approval on (recommended)">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Application lands as pending">
        Each new application shows up in your panel with status `pending`.
      </Step>

      <Step title="HR reviews">
        Check the resume and the AI's CV-match score.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Approve or reject">
        **Approve** → the candidate gets their interview link.
        **Reject** → the candidate gets a polite decline.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Schedule the interview">
        Once approved, schedule the session (or it's sent on approval). The
        invite email goes out automatically.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Auto-approve (high volume)">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Candidate applies">
        They finish the apply form.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Interview starts immediately">
        The apply page hands them the interview link right away — no waiting.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    Use this for high-volume roles where reviewing every resume first is the
    bottleneck.
  </Tab>

## Set it up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your template">
    Go to the template detail page in the dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the apply URL">
    Find the public apply link and copy it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose approval mode">
    Turn **HR approval** on or off, depending on your volume.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share it">
    Paste the link into your job post, email, or website.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  If a link ever leaks or gets spammed, **rotate** it in one click from the
  template detail page. The old URL stops working immediately and a new one
  takes its place.
</Warning>

## After the interview

When a candidate finishes, you get their scorecard the same as any other
session. Then you can share it with a hiring manager:

<Card title="Share candidate profiles" icon="share-2" href="/en/guides/sharing-candidate-profiles">
  Send results to a manager or client with a no-login link.
</Card>
