Utilizing calendar integrations, such as Google Calendar or Outlook 365, when scheduling in Greenhouse Recruiting allows users to schedule interviews to calendars where they have appropriate editing permissions.
Once enabled, the calendar selected at the time of scheduling will dictate the default settings configured for all candidates you attempt to schedule.
These default calendar settings include the Calendar name, Calendar type, and Time zone an event was most recently scheduled for.
Below, we'll cover how to adjust your default calendar settings when scheduling interviews to your personal or shared calendars.
Modify existing calendar settings
To modify your default calendar settings, navigate to the candidate profile where an interview is due to be scheduled and click Schedule Interview.
On the Scheduling for candidate page, click the Settings icon .
Within the Settings pop-up window, you'll see an option to adjust the following settings:
Calendar time zone
Use the Time zone field to adjust the timezone selected for the scheduler view.
When the candidates or interviewers are notified about your scheduling request, any suggested times will be converted to the timezone of their computer.

Calendar name
After selecting your preferred calendar type, use the Calendar Name field to select a calendar to schedule to.
Calendars where you have appropriate editing permissions configured will appear within the Calendar Name field drop-down.
Note: Any personal calendar or shared calendar where you have editing access permission will appear in the Calendar Name drop-down. Permissions necessary are either:
- Google Calendar: Make changes to events and manage sharing
- Outlook 365: Can edit
If a calendar is not appearing, confirm you have edit access permissions assigned within the external calendar provider.
Save when finished.
The selected calendar settings will be your default settings when scheduling candidates in the future.
