How to Send Candidate Typing Test Invite Links: A Hiring Manager Workflow

Step-by-step workflow for hiring teams: generate a secure one-minute typing test link, share it with candidates, and review verified WPM and accuracy on your dashboard.

Start with one link per candidate

Generate a unique invite from your employer dashboard so each person gets a fresh one-minute test. Reusing one link across many applicants blurs audit trails and makes it harder to match results to names.

Copy the assess URL into your ATS email template or scheduling note. Candidates open it on any modern browser; they do not need a Type Faster account to complete the test.

Generate one assess link per applicant so your dashboard audit trail stays clean when recruiters hand off reqs.

Tell candidates the test is one minute, free for them, and which browser works best before they open the link.

What you see after submission

Completed runs show candidate name, gross WPM, and accuracy on your links table—no screenshots to chase or dispute. Pending links stay visible until someone finishes or you archive the row.

Compare like durations only. A one-minute employer screen is not interchangeable with a five-minute practice score the candidate memorized from another site.

Recalibrate cutoffs quarterly using completed employer results—not one memorable outlier from last month.

Document gross versus net scoring in your internal rubric so coordinators do not train candidates on the wrong metric.

Operational habits that scale

Tag links in your tracker with role and requisition ID even though the product stores timestamps for you. Hiring coordinators ship faster when internal notes mirror dashboard status.

Batch-generate links before interview days so recruiters are not waiting on credits during live screens. Your account includes trial links to validate the flow before you buy packs.

Tell candidates the test is one minute, free for them, and which browser works best before they open the link.
