Turn Qualified Candidates
Into Scheduled Interviews.

Let qualified candidates choose an available interview time while keeping the candidate, recruiter, calendar event, and meeting information synchronized.

Automated Interview Scheduling

Stop chasing candidates for interview times.

Once a candidate qualifies, Rad Recruiter can send the appropriate scheduling option and move the candidate to Scheduled after the interview is booked.

Rad Recruiter supports Calendly, Google Calendar, and Microsoft 365 Calendar for interview scheduling. Hospitality teams can also schedule interviews manually when they prefer to coordinate directly with candidates.

Interview Scheduling

Everything You Need To Know About Automated Scheduling

01 / AUTOMATION

How does automated interview scheduling work?

After a candidate qualifies for a hospitality position, Rad Recruiter sends the appropriate scheduling option. The candidate can select an available interview time. Once the booking is confirmed, the candidate automatically moves to Scheduled.

02 / CALENDARS

Which scheduling options does Rad Recruiter support?

Rad Recruiter supports Calendly, Google Calendar, and Microsoft 365 Calendar for interview scheduling. Hospitality teams can also use manual scheduling when they prefer to coordinate interviews directly with candidates.

03 / INDEPENDENT OPTIONS

Do Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, and Calendly depend on each other?

No. These are independent scheduling options. A connected Google or Microsoft calendar can support Rad Recruiter scheduling without Calendly. Likewise, Calendly can manage its own booking process without requiring a Google or Microsoft calendar connection within Rad Recruiter.

04 / ZOOM

Can Rad Recruiter create Zoom interview links?

Yes. When the organization's Zoom account is connected and Zoom is selected as the interview location, Rad Recruiter can create a unique Zoom meeting for supported interviews. Availability may depend on the connected Zoom account and required Zoom Marketplace approval.

05 / NOTIFICATIONS

Does the recruiter receive an interview notification?

Yes. For supported calendar bookings, both the recruiter and candidate receive the appropriate interview details through calendar and email notifications. The scheduled interview also appears in the Rad Recruiter dashboard and candidate conversation history.

06 / CHANGES

What happens when an interview is rescheduled or canceled?

For supported connected calendars, Rad Recruiter updates or cancels the existing interview event and sends the appropriate notification to the candidate and recruiter. This helps prevent duplicate appointments from being created.

07 / TIME ZONES

Does Rad Recruiter handle time zones?

Yes. Candidate and recruiter scheduling information includes timezone context so interview times can be displayed appropriately. Hospitality teams should still verify their organization timezone and connected calendar settings before enabling automated scheduling.

08 / NO INTEGRATION

What happens if no scheduling integration is connected?

Rad Recruiter indicates that automated interview scheduling is not ready. The recruiting team can connect Calendly, Google Calendar, or Microsoft 365 Calendar through Settings, or continue coordinating interviews manually.

09 / QUALIFIED VS. SCHEDULED

Why is a candidate qualified but not scheduled?

Qualified means the candidate has completed the screening process and meets the configured requirements. Scheduled means an interview has been successfully booked or manually saved by a recruiter.

If a qualified candidate has not been scheduled, check that a scheduling method is connected, the scheduling invitation was delivered, and the candidate has completed the booking process.

Scheduling Workflow

From Qualified Candidate To Confirmed Interview

Automated scheduling connects the qualification stage with the interview calendar so candidates can select an available time.

01 Candidate Qualifies
02 Scheduling Option Sent
03 Candidate Selects Time
04 Interview Is Booked
05 Candidate Moves To Scheduled

Connect The Scheduling Tool You Already Use

Scheduling options operate independently, allowing hospitality teams to choose the setup that fits their existing recruiting workflow.

Calendly

Use Calendly as an independent scheduling option for candidate interview bookings.

Google Calendar

Connect Google Calendar to support Rad Recruiter interview scheduling without requiring Calendly.

Microsoft 365 Calendar

Connect Microsoft 365 Calendar as an independent scheduling option for interviews.

Zoom

When supported and connected, Rad Recruiter can create a unique Zoom meeting when Zoom is selected as the interview location.

Manual Scheduling

Teams can continue coordinating interviews directly with candidates when automated scheduling is not preferred.

Calendar Notifications

Supported calendar bookings provide interview details through calendar and email notifications.

Troubleshooting

Qualified Does Not Always Mean Scheduled.

A candidate qualified, but no interview was booked.

First check that a scheduling method is connected. Then verify that the scheduling invitation was delivered and that the candidate has completed the booking process.

If no scheduling integration is connected, Rad Recruiter indicates that automated scheduling is not ready. The recruiting team can connect Calendly, Google Calendar, or Microsoft 365 Calendar through Settings, or continue coordinating interviews manually.

Also verify the organization's timezone and connected calendar settings before enabling automated scheduling.
