About This Automation

Interview scheduling requires coordinators to manually request availability from candidates and hiring managers, then compare responses to find overlapping times. This process is slow, error-prone, and creates scheduling conflicts that delay hiring decisions.

Automation queries both calendars in real time, identifies overlapping slots, and sends confirmations automatically. Interviews are scheduled in hours instead of days, with zero double-booking incidents.

Key features
Query candidate and interviewer calendars simultaneously to find available time slots
Automatically convert timezones and respect working hours for global teams
Rank overlapping slots by preference and select the best option without manual comparison
Send confirmation emails and calendar invites to both parties in a single action
Update candidate records and notify the team automatically when interviews are confirmed
Escalate to a human if no response is received within 24 hours

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Candidate Ready for Interviewtrigger

A candidate's status changes to 'Ready for Interview', triggering the scheduling workflow.

2. Fetch Candidate and Interviewer Details

The automation retrieves the candidate's email, timezone, and preferred interview window, and identifies the assigned hiring manager.

3. Query Calendar Availability

The automation checks for both the candidate and interviewer to identify free slots over the next 5 business days.

4. Send Availability Request to Candidate

An email is sent to the candidate with a list of pre-identified overlapping time slots and a request to confirm their preference.

5. Wait for Candidate Confirmation

The workflow pauses and monitors for the candidate's reply email, extracting their chosen time slot.

6. Create Calendar Events and Send Confirmations

Calendar invites are created for both parties, and confirmation emails with meeting details and a video call link are sent.

7. Update and Notify Team

The candidate record is updated with the interview date and status, and a confirmation message is posted.
