Q. What is an interview link?

With interview links, recruiters can define their meeting "criteria" in advance.

Share the scheduling link with the candidate via email.

When a candidate clicks on that link, he is directed to a landing page where he can choose to schedule a time to connect with the recruiter, the time slots visible to the candidates are based on the recruiter's calendar availability. This way candidates are able to choose a time slot that suits them and every interviewer involved.

Please Note: We allow events to have multiple recruiters, in which case, only slots that are free on all the calendars will be shown to the candidate. For instance, if 4 recruiters are part of an event, interview slots visible to the candidates will be based on the free available slots of all the recruiters, so that there are no event clashes.
