In this article, we will cover how to schedule and invite interviewers to a user's personal calendar event. To learn more about how to schedule interviews to your organization's shared calendar, please click here.
To schedule an interview to a personal Outlook 365 calendar, navigate to a candidate profile with an interview that needs to be scheduled (Jobs > Job > Candidates).
From the candidate profile, select the Stage tab on the On Job panel. Locate the interview to be scheduled and click Schedule Interview.
Note: We recommend requesting the candidate's availability prior to scheduling an interview. Click here to learn more.
From the Scheduling for candidate page, click the Settings icon . In the Settings dialog window, review the Calendar Name dropdown to confirm your preferred Outlook 365 calendar is selected.
The Time Zone dropdown defaults to your user account's time zone. Interviews scheduled between time zones are automatically adjusted for the interviewer and the candidate to reflect their respective time zones.
When finished, click Save.
These settings will remain your defaults for future scheduling unless manually adjusted.
Use the left-hand panel to input the interview details such as date and time, interviewers, location, and office.
If the candidate submitted availability, it is indicated in white blocks in the right-hand panel. Once you add yourself as an interviewer and add a conference room / resource, the free/busy availability for each is indicated in the right-hand panel as well. Use this view to find the best time for all parties.
When finished entering details, click Customize details.
On the subsequent page, use the Schedule Summary panel on the right to confirm the interview details are correct. Select an interviewer invite template from the Templates dropdown, or manually enter your own description.
When finished, click Send Invites.
Note: Greenhouse Recruiting's scheduling calendar (what enables us to compile and manage your interviewing schedule) is added to all of your organization's interviews as a guest.
Once sent, interviewers (and Greenhouse Recruiting) are invited to the newly created interview on the calendar. Be sure to send a separate interview confirmation email to the candidate for the new interview.
