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.
