Schedule an interview and confirm times

LiveRec EditorialUpdated

Open the candidate and choose Schedule interview. Pick how to set the time: Offer a few times, Propose one time, or We already agreed a time. Then choose Duration and Interviewers, and whether it is a Video, Phone or In-person interview. The candidate confirms the time, or suggests another.

Steps

  1. Open the candidate and choose Schedule interview. You can also start from Interviews in the menu and pick an applicant.
  2. Under "How do you want to set the time?" choose Offer a few times (they pick one), Propose one time (they confirm it or suggest another), or We already agreed a time (book it now, and they confirm they will attend).
  3. Choose the Duration (15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes) and add Interviewers from your team.
  4. Choose the interview type: Video, Phone or In-person. For video, pick LiveRec video, Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Other link. For In-person, enter the Interview address.
  5. For video, add a Title, and optionally Choose add-ons (LiveRec video only).
  6. Add an optional message to the candidate, then choose the send button: Send times to pick, Send interview request or Send confirmed invite.

Good to know

  • LiveRec video needs no link. Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams can be connected or you can paste a link. Other link takes a Webex or any https link.
  • For Phone, LiveRec sends you the candidate's phone number once they confirm.
  • Both sides confirm the time. If the candidate suggests another time and the exchange goes on past three counter-proposals, the interview is flagged for manual review. If nobody answers, a reminder goes out after 48 hours.
  • Open proposals do not auto-cancel after 30 days, and LiveRec does not send SMS for this.
  • Use Edit availability to set the times you can offer.
