Interviews
This guide covers scheduling and tracking candidate interviews.
Purpose
This answers a simple question for everyone involved in hiring a candidate: "Who's interviewing this person, and when?"
Scheduling an Interview
An interview is attached to a specific candidate and includes:
- A date and time.
- One or more interviewers — any employee can be added to the panel.
- An optional description, for an agenda or context ahead of the interview.
Interviews can be scheduled directly from a candidate's card in the pipeline, or from the Interview list. The moment an interview is scheduled, every interviewer on it is notified. Interviews can be edited later — changing the date, time, or panel sends fresh notifications — or canceled outright. A single interviewer can also be removed from an interview without canceling the whole thing (useful if someone drops out but the interview still goes ahead).
What Each User Sees
| Action | Employee | Interviewer | Stage or Recruitment Manager | HR Administrator / Recruiter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| See interviews they're personally on | — | ✅ | ✅ (if also an interviewer) | ✅ |
| See every interview company-wide | — | — | — | ✅ |
| Schedule, edit, or cancel an interview for any candidate | — | — | ✅ | ✅ |
| Remove a single interviewer from an interview | — | — | ✅ | ✅ |
In short: an ordinary employee only ever sees the interviews they're personally scheduled on. HR Administrators and Recruiters see everything.
How Visibility Is Decided
- Permissions. Holding the full interview-viewing permission shows every interview across the company; without it, the interview list only shows interviews the person is personally an interviewer on.
- Being a manager. Managing at least one job opening or one pipeline stage — anywhere in the system — is enough to schedule, edit, or cancel interviews for any candidate. This is broader than most other Recruitment access, which is scoped to just the specific opening someone manages (see Pipeline & Stages and User Roles & Access).
- Company. Interviews belong to the company of the candidate's opening, so they only surface for the company currently selected.
Good to Know
- Scheduling access is intentionally broad: being a manager of any opening or stage lets someone set up an interview for any candidate, not just candidates in the openings they personally manage.
- Seeing the interview, though, is narrower — unless someone holds the full viewing permission, they'll only see interviews they're personally on, even if they scheduled it for someone else's opening.
- Editing an interview re-notifies every interviewer currently on it, so last-minute time changes reach the whole panel.
The right people, in the room.
