# How to Access Candidate Resumes from Interview emails

Interviewers often need quick access to candidate resumes before conducting interviews, whether the session is online or in-person.

With the **Resume Access via Interview Invite** capability, interviewers can now directly view candidate resumes from their **email invite** without needing to log in separately to Workflow Tools.

This feature ensures that authorized interviewers (both internal and external participants) can conveniently access resumes in a secure, permission-controlled manner across **desktop and mobile devices**.

## Steps to Go Through the Flow

### **1. Open the Interview Invite Email**

* As an **interviewer**, check your inbox for the **interview invite** email sent from Talview.
* The email contains details like **interview date**, **time**, **mode (online/in-person)**, and **candidate information**.

### **2. Locate the “Resume” Link**

* Within the email body, beside the candidate's name locate the resume link and click the **“Resume”** link.
* This link appears for both **online** and **in-person** interviews - provided the candidate has uploaded a resume.

### **3. Accessing the Resume**

* When you click **Resume**, a new browser tab will open displaying the candidate’s resume.
* If you are an **assigned participant** in the interview:
  * The resume will load in a secure **Talview Resume Viewer**.
  * You can **zoom in/out** for better readability or **download** the file for offline reference.
* If you are **not a participant** in the interview:
  * You’ll see an **error message** stating that you don’t have permission to view the resume.

### **4. Viewing the Resume on Mobile**

* Resume access works seamlessly on **mobile browsers** as well.
* Tap the **Resume** link in your invite email to open the document in a new tab.
* The same zoom and download controls are available on mobile for a consistent viewing experience.

### **5. Resume Viewer Options**

* Once the resume opens in the viewer, you can:
  * **Zoom In/Out** – Use the toolbar or pinch gestures (on mobile) to adjust readability.
  * **Download** – Click the download icon to save a copy for offline use.

<Note>
  ### **Note:**

  * Only **assigned interview participants** can access the candidate resume through this link.
  * Users who are not part of the scheduled interview will see an authorization message upon clicking the resume.
  * Resume access links work from both **mobile and web browsers**.
  * This ensures secure sharing of candidate information while maintaining data privacy and compliance.
