CANDIDATE SCHEDULING · Workflow idea

Make interview scheduling easier while keeping recruiters in control.

Help a candidate share contact details and choose from proposed weekday interview times that fit the team’s calendar. Keep candidate information private and treat each time as a proposal: a recruiter verifies the candidate, interviewer, duration, and calendar before approving a booking and confirmation.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A candidate’s scheduling request and the hiring team’s approved availability

“Find possible interview times and prepare a booking for recruiter review before placing it on a calendar or confirming it with a candidate.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps candidates and recruiting teams coordinate interview times without exposing details of other calendar events.

  1. Collect the candidate’s scheduling preferences

    Ask for the contact details and availability needed to coordinate an interview, without requesting unrelated personal information.

  2. Find possible times within team availability

    Compare the candidate’s preferences with open weekday times and the team’s agreed working hours.

  3. Offer a proposed interview time

    Show the candidate a small set of suitable options without revealing details of other calendar events.

  4. Verify the appointment with a recruiter

    Have a recruiter confirm the candidate, interviewers, duration, time zone, and selected time.

  5. Approve the booking and candidate message

    Wait for recruiter approval of the exact calendar appointment and confirmation wording before booking or sending.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A proposed interview appointment with candidate and time details, waiting for recruiter approval.

Keep in mind

Candidate contact information and scheduling history are sensitive. Limit access to the hiring team, avoid revealing other calendar events, and require a recruiter to verify and approve the exact candidate, interviewer, time, and confirmation before a booking is created or communicated.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set interview hours and duration

Choose working days, local time zone, standard meeting length, and any scheduling limits.

Choose calendar access and candidate fields

Use only the availability and contact information necessary to coordinate an interview.

Set candidate privacy and retention rules

Restrict candidate details to authorized hiring staff and keep them only as long as the process requires.

Assign recruiter approval

Name who verifies each proposed appointment and approves the final calendar entry and candidate-facing message.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
