When an interviewer sends a self-schedule request, candidates can quickly complete it using the self-schedule link in their invitation email. If enabled, candidates can re-schedule their interview through their interview reminder email.

This article covers the candidate's experience when completing a self-schedule request. For more information on sending a self-schedule request to a candidate, click here.

Note: Self-scheduled interviews are different than availability requests through Google Calendar or Outlook 365. During availability requests, you can select multiple times that the interviewer can use to coordinate interviews. When self-scheduling an interview, you are selecting a single time to be added to the interviewer's schedule.

Note:

  • Interviews can be scheduled up to 30 days in the future.
  • The candidate can choose from availability based on the interviewer's current availability on their Google Calendar or Outlook 365 calendar.
  • Available times are business hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, based on the interviewer's timezone.
  • Candidates cannot self-schedule an interview for the same day.

To view available times in your own time zone, select from the dropdown menu under the calendar.
