Overview
Candidate Spotlights are now available in your RecView account. They allow you to share candidate video interviewss with your clients — including interview highlights, CVs, summaries, and a booking link — all in one shareable, trackable link.
How to Create a Candidate Spotlight
Open a candidate interview — Click on a candidate interview as you normally would.
Start the Spotlight — Click Share → Create Candidate Spotlight.
Adding a CV
If your ATS (e.g., JobAdder) is connected and has a CV on file, RecView will pull it through automatically.
If no CV for this candidate is found in your ATS.
Summary
A summary is auto-filled for you when the Spotlight is generated. You can edit any part of this summary before sharing.
Sharing Interview Highlights
You can share highlights from the interview with your client.
Trim the clip by dragging and dropping to select the portion you want to share. From a 30-minute interview, you can isolate just the key moment that will drive engagement and get the interview booked.
If the interview is longer, more highlights will be available to choose from.
You can add one of your booking links so the client can book a time to speak with you about the candidate.

Tracking & Analytics
Once a client has viewed the Spotlight, you can see who watched it and when they visited. This is especially useful when floating or speccing out candidates — you can follow up with a call right after they've watched it to discuss the potential candidate.
