Stage 01 - Interview scheduling

Interview loops booked without the email thread.

Panel loops, single interviewers, technical rounds - all coordinated across mutual availability and confirmed in a single sequence rather than a five-inbox chase.

What it does

Everything this stage takes off your plate.

Interviewer availability aggregation

Pull live calendar availability across all panel members and only surface times when the required interviewers are all free.

Candidate self-scheduling

Candidates pick from filtered slots that already respect panel constraints - no re-work, no manual reshuffles.

Loop sequencing with fallbacks

Multi-round loops sequenced in the correct order, with automatic fallback slots when a single interviewer drops.

Invites, reminders, feedback nudges

Calendar invites, timely reminders and feedback prompts sent to interviewers - all inside the same coordination flow.

Time-zone and constraint aware

Handles cross-time-zone panels, working hours per interviewer and blackout windows without manual bookkeeping.

ATS + calendar wired in

Reads roles and candidates from the ATS, writes booked events to interviewer calendars, and posts status back.

One worked example, end-to-end

One interview loop, request-in to feedback-captured.

A concrete run through this stage - not a diagram of arrows.

  1. Step 01

    Loop request opened

    Recruiter opens a loop for a role - four interviewers, two rounds, cross time-zone.

  2. Step 02

    Mutual availability resolved

    The scheduler pulls live calendars and returns only the slots where the correct panel is fully free.

  3. Step 03

    Candidate confirms slots

    Candidate picks from a filtered list - invites and reminders go out to everyone automatically.

  4. Step 04

    Feedback captured on the loop

    Feedback prompts land on the interviewer's calendar item - responses roll into the loop record.
