For Recruiters
Send hiring managers a single link instead of a folder of attachments
Upload CVs, portfolio PDFs, and candidate summaries to one hosted project. Share a clean URL with the hiring manager, gate it with a password, and see when they review each candidate.
How recruiters use Hostupa for candidate packs
Recruiters spend too much time emailing PDF attachments that get lost in threads or blocked by spam filters. Hostupa turns a candidate pack into a single hosted link — upload the documents, set a password, and share it with the hiring manager. They open it in their browser, see everything in one place, and you can track whether they have actually reviewed the candidates before your check-in call.
How it works
Upload candidate documents
Drag in CVs, cover letters, portfolio PDFs, and any supporting documents. Hostupa serves them as a hosted project with a clean viewer.
Set a password and share
Protect the pack with a password so only the intended hiring manager can access it. Share the URL in your regular communication — no attachments needed.
Track and update
See view counts to confirm the manager reviewed the pack. Swap in new candidates or remove withdrawn ones without sending a new link.
What you get
Password protection
Keep candidate data behind a gate — only invited reviewers access it.
PDF and document support
Serve CVs, portfolios, and supporting docs in one place.
View tracking
Confirm the hiring manager actually opened the pack before your follow-up.
In-place updates
Add or remove candidates without changing the shared URL.
QR sharing
Generate a QR code for in-person interview packs or printed materials.
Custom slugs
Use a URL like hostupa.com/senior-dev-shortlist for clarity.
Real-world examples
Shortlist presentation
Upload CVs and portfolio links for three shortlisted candidates. Share one password-protected URL with the hiring manager instead of nine separate email attachments.
Executive search dossier
Package a confidential executive candidate profile with references and compensation expectations. Gate access tightly and track when the client reviews it.
Internal job spec distribution
Publish a job description and candidate pack for an internal role. Share the link with department heads so everyone reviews the same version.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to host candidate documents on Hostupa?
Hostupa supports password protection on every project, so you control who can view candidate packs. You can change the password at any time to revoke access from previous recipients without affecting the URL. For highly sensitive searches, use a unique password per recipient.
What file formats can I include in a candidate pack?
Hostupa supports PDF, Word documents, PowerPoint, images, and most common file formats. You can mix CVs in PDF, portfolios as image galleries, and presentation slides in a single hosted project.
Can I update a candidate pack after sharing it?
Yes. Re-upload files to the same project to add new candidates or remove withdrawn ones. The URL and password remain unchanged, so you do not need to resend anything to the hiring manager — just tell them to refresh the page.
How do I know if the hiring manager reviewed the candidates?
The dashboard shows view counts and timestamps for each project. You can see whether the link was opened, how many times it was visited, and when the most recent view occurred. This helps you time your follow-up calls effectively.
Can I create separate packs for different roles?
Yes. Each project is independent, so you can create one pack per role or per client. Use descriptive slugs like hostupa.com/product-manager-q3 to keep things organised in your dashboard.
