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 ​

ActionEmployeeInterviewerStage or Recruitment ManagerHR 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 ​

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
