Use Google Calendar to schedule interviews

Once Google Calendar is enabled, you can use it to schedule interviews in Greenhouse Recruiting. You can schedule interviews to your personal calendar, or to a shared team calendar.

Tip: Consider using shared calendars as a best practice. When teammates are sick, out of office, or unable to access Greenhouse Recruiting, shared calendars make it easier to edit previously scheduled interviews.

Click Candidates on your navigation bar, then find the candidate who requires scheduling.

Click Schedule Interview on the candidate's current stage.

An example candidate profile is shown in Greenhouse Recruiting with the Schedule Interview button highlighted in marigold

Click the Settings icon in the top right corner.

Ensure your Calendar Type is set to Google, and select your calendar from the Calendar Name dropdown.

An example calendar settings pane is shown, with Google selected as the calendar type and a personal calendar selected from the calendar name menu

When finished, click Save.

The selected calendar will be your default calendar when scheduling candidates in the future.
