Schedule and complete an interview

  1. 01

    Review the interview feed

    Open Interviews and review upcoming bookings, status counts, and the availability already configured for the team. Select a job when you need job-specific counts and bookings.

  2. 02

    Create availability when needed

    Add a recurring slot with day of week and a duration from 5 to 240 minutes.

  3. 03

    Book the candidate

    Choose the candidate, optional job, date and time, duration from 5 to 480 minutes, and video, phone, or in-person type. Add a full meeting URL and notes when applicable.

  4. 04

    Confirm the booking details

    Check the timezone, attendees, meeting information, and candidate contact method before treating the booking as confirmed.

  5. 05

    Update the interview status

    Move the booking through the appropriate pending, scheduled, confirmed, cancelled, completed, or no-show state as the event changes.

  6. 06

    Complete the scorecard

    When criteria are configured, rate each relevant criterion from 1 to 5 and add an overall recommendation with job-related notes.

Use structured criteria fairly

Managers and owners can manage interview criteria. Keep criteria job-related, apply them consistently, avoid sensitive or prohibited topics, and record evidence for the rating rather than personal impressions.

Troubleshooting

The booking does not save.

Likely cause: A required candidate, time, type, or valid duration is missing, or the meeting link is not a full URL.

Complete the required fields, use a duration between 5 and 480 minutes, and enter a full meeting URL when provided.

You cannot update the interview status.

Likely cause: Your account does not have Manage submittals access.

Ask an owner to review your permissions or have an authorized teammate update the booking.

The criteria controls are unavailable.

Likely cause: Creating and deleting interview criteria is limited to managers and owners.

Ask a manager or owner to maintain the scorecard criteria.
