Resending Invites to Candidates
To resend an invitation to a candidate after adding them to Alva, start by navigating to the job position where the candidate was invited.
Go to the Candidate Overview tab.
Tick the box next to the name(s) of the candidate(s) you want to resend the invitation to.
Click the three dots (⋮) at the top right of the page.
Select Send invitations from the menu.
Choose which tests to send in the pop-up window.
Click Send invitation to confirm.
This will resend the same invitation email as originally sent.
💡 Note: Sending a new invitation does not create a new test - it only sends a fresh link to the existing assessments.
If you wish to reset the tests and allow your candidate to complete or share a new test, see How to Reset the test.
Sending Reminders
You can also send reminders to candidates who haven’t yet completed their assessments:
From the same job position, go to the Candidate Overview.
Tick the box next to one or several candidates.
Click the Send reminder button at the top right of the page.
Resending Invitations to a Different Email Address
If a candidate’s email address needs to be updated, you’ll first need to remove them from the job position before re-adding them with the new address.
To remove a candidate:
Go to the Candidate Overview tab within the relevant job position.
Tick the box next to the candidate’s name.
Click the three dots (⋮) at the top right of the page.
Select Remove candidate.
Once removed, you can add the candidate again with their new email address.

⚠️ Note! When you remove a candidate:
Any completed tests will no longer be shared with your organization.
Any completed interviews will be deleted.
If You’re Using an ATS
Most of Alva’s customers manage candidate invitations directly through their ATS (Applicant Tracking System). The process for resending invitations to a new email address varies depending on which ATS you use.
To find instructions specific to your ATS:
Visit the ATS Integrations Collection and select your system.
Or, ask our chat bot Alvar directly in the platform for step-by-step guidance.
💡 Note: You can still use the steps above to resend an invitation directly in Alva, even if you’re using an ATS.
However, if you do, test results will not be visible in your ATS - they will only appear in Alva.
