Recruitment in MySkillsSpace works differently. Conversation, invitation, assessments and one shared process

The first path is Message. A company can ask a specialist about availability, experience, a service or possible cooperation. The conversation appears in Messages and does not create a Recruitment Process, assign assessments or impose any obligation.

The second path is Recruitment Invitation. When a company is hiring for a specific role, it can send one structured invitation containing the position, a personal message, a selected pipeline, a deadline and - when useful - one or more competency assessments. The candidate receives one coherent process instead of several disconnected notifications.

Not every company recruits in the same way, so the process is not locked into one rigid sequence. A company can use its own Recruitment Pipeline and name stages according to its real workflow, for example Invitation, Skills Check, Portfolio Review, Technical Interview and Offer.

Stages can represent an assessment, review, interview, offer or a custom step. An assessment stage may complete automatically once all required results are ready, while review, interview and offer decisions remain human actions.

A formal invitation is not a hidden entry into recruitment. Before Accept, the candidate can see the company, role, message, stage sequence, required and optional assessments, estimated time, deadline, result visibility and information about technical integrity signals when they apply.

Opening the invitation does not start an assessment or timer. The candidate can accept or decline, and after joining the process can also withdraw. That outcome is recorded as Withdrawn, not Rejected.

A recruiter can attach relevant assessments and mark each as required or optional. The candidate takes the assessment. The recruiter can review its purpose, structure, timing and rules in read-only preview, but does not take the candidate test and does not get access to the live question bank.

If the candidate already holds a valid verification and the requirement allows reuse, an existing Verified Skill can satisfy it. A result created for a specific recruitment stays inside that process. MySkillsSpace provides evidence - it does not automatically Hire or Reject anyone. Integrity signals may recommend review, but they do not automatically mean cheating.

Every Recruitment Process has a clear Activity Timeline. It can include Invitation sent, Opened, Accepted, Assessment started, Assessment completed, Result ready, stage transitions and the final outcome.

Candidates see events relevant to their process. Recruiters can additionally see authorized internal events and notes. Even after several weeks, both sides can understand what happened, where the process stands and what should happen next.

Verification is not limited to traditional recruitment. An authorized team owner or manager can attach competency requirements to a Team invitation. The invitee sees one invitation with clearly described requirements, and results are available only to users who have permission to manage that invitation.
