While Basic share links simplify interview sharing, Advanced share links offer additional functionality. With Advanced Links, you can:

• Share many interviews simultaneously by creating shortlists of candidates for the hiring manager.
• Get real-time notifications when receivers open your link.
• Allow reviewers to provide feedback directly through the link.
• Customize the content displayed on the shared page and provide search, filter, and sorting tools for your reviewers
• Customize the message sent to reviewers.
• Set expiration times for your links.
• Share candidates' pre-interview questionnaire responses and resumes with reviewers.

Create an Advanced share link

1. Advanced share links are typically generated via the Assessment viewer; however, you can also create them directly from the Assessment list.

   • From the Assessment viewer – After reviewing a One-Way or Live Interview, click the Share button above the interview questions. In the modal that opens, click Create new.

     

   • From the Assessment list – Select the interviews you want to share, and click the Share icon below the filters.

     

2. Regardless of your choice, you’ll be redirected to the Create Share Link page.
3. Add a title for your advanced share link: Think of it like a mini description.
   • This is only visible in your account and not to the reviewers you're sharing the interviews with.
   • This will help you organize the interviews when creating shortlists of candidates.
4. Enter the name and email address of each reviewer.
5. Customize link settings to decide what information to show or hide on the shared page.
   • Abbreviate names: Display only the first names of your candidates when sharing their interviews.
   • Omit avatars: Remove candidate avatar images on the shared page.
   • Exclude full profiles: Keep candidate profile or resume information from appearing on the shared page.
   • Hide skipped questions: Remove questions skipped by the candidate during their interview from the shared videos.
   • Disable feedback: Prevent reviewers from leaving ratings and comments by selecting this option.
   • Mask questionnaire: Keep the candidate's pre-interview questionnaire answers hidden from reviewers by checking this option.

6. Select whether you want the Advanced Link to automatically expire and specify the desired number of days or weeks for expiration from the current date.

   📝 Note: Spark Hire may automatically deactivate a Basic or Advanced share link if it has been active for more than one year or if unusual activity is detected. If this happens, you can reactivate the link to generate a new passcode and share it again.

7. Decide whether you want to automatically send an email to each reviewer.
   • Opting for Yes will trigger an email to be sent to all reviewers. You can modify the content that's loaded by default or select an email template from your email template library.
   • If you choose No, you'll need to manually send a link to each reviewer.
8.  Click Create links. A unique link will be created for each reviewer: 

   • You receive an email when a reviewer opens their link

   • Each reviewer can submit a review through their assigned link

   • Each link includes a strong, auto-generated passcode. Users cannot create or customize the passcode

     

9. Once the links are generated, click the clipboard icon under Action to copy the share link URL.

Add multiple interviews to an Advanced share link

Advanced Share links allow you to share many interviews simultaneously by setting shortlists of candidates. To simplify this process, make sure to add a title to your Advanced share links when creating them.

1. To add interviews to an Advanced share link:
   • One at a time: From the Assessment viewer, click Share above the interview questions. Alternatively, from the Assessments tab on the candidate’s profile, click Share under the video interview.
   • In bulk: From the Assessment list, select all the interviews you want to share, then click Share.

2. Under Advanced share link, click Add to Advanced share link and select the title of the Advanced share link you’d like to add the interview to.

   

3. Click Save.

Remove interviews from an Advanced Share Link

To remove the interview from the current shortlist or include it in another one, simply click again on the Add to Advanced share link dropdown and uncheck the box of the current shortlist or check the box of a new one.
