Schedule Interviews

Streamline interview scheduling with calendar integration

1

Select the Candidate

From the candidates list, find the person you want to interview and click "Schedule Interview" on their profile or from the actions dropdown.

2

Choose Interview Type

Select the interview format: Phone Screen, Video Call, In-Person, or Panel Interview. Each type has different settings and preparation options.

3

Pick Date and Time

Use the calendar picker to select available slots. If you have connected your Google Calendar or Outlook, you will see your availability automatically.

4

Add Interviewers

Invite team members to join the interview. You can add multiple interviewers and designate a lead interviewer who will receive the feedback summary.

5

Set Location or Link

For video calls, Hirvex can auto-generate a Zoom or Google Meet link. For in-person interviews, enter the office address and room number.

6

Add Instructions

Include any special instructions for the candidate: what to prepare, documents to bring, parking information, or contact details for day-of questions.

7

Send Invites

Review all details and click "Send Invitations." The candidate and all interviewers will receive calendar invites and confirmation emails automatically.

Scheduling Best Practices

  • Schedule interviews within 3-5 days to maintain candidate interest
  • Send calendar invites at least 24 hours in advance
  • Include a backup contact number for technical issues
  • Add buffer time between back-to-back interviews
  • Send reminder emails 2 hours before the interview
