Interview Scheduling Agent
Coordinates interview panels by matching candidate and interviewer availability, booking rooms or video links, and sending confirmations automatically.
Coordinating multi-person interview panels typically takes recruiting coordinators dozens of back-and-forth emails to find a time that works for everyone, and delays often cause candidates to drop out of the process
Manual scheduling also leads to double-bookings, missed calendar invites, and inconsistent interview loop structures across candidates for the same role
The agent reads interviewer calendars in real time, applies the required panel composition for the role, and proposes optimal time slots directly to the candidate for confirmation
Once confirmed, it books rooms or video links, sends calendar invites with interview kits attached, and automatically handles rescheduling when conflicts arise
The agent connects to interviewer and candidate calendars through calendar APIs and pulls the interview loop template defined for the role, including required interviewer roles and stage order. It runs an availability-matching algorithm to find overlapping windows within business hours and candidate time zone, then sends the candidate a self-service booking link. Once a slot is selected, it reserves a meeting room or generates a video conferencing link, distributes interview kits to panelists, and monitors for calendar changes to trigger automatic rescheduling.
