Schedule interviews without the Slack chaos
The scheduling part of hiring shouldn't be the hardest part. One poll link. Every interviewer's calendar checked automatically. Candidate votes in 30 seconds. The meeting books itself.
Sound familiar?
If any of these hit home, you're in the right place.
"Is everyone free Thursday 2pm?"
The dreaded availability thread. You Slack every interviewer, wait for responses from different timezones, someone doesn't reply until the next morning, and the candidate is still waiting for a confirmation link. A process that should take 2 minutes takes 2 days.
"Oh I didn't realise you had a conflict"
You send the candidate a time, someone accepts, and then you discover one interviewer is already in a different meeting. Reschedule request to the candidate. Apology email. Candidate confidence drops. This happens when you book from memory instead of checking live calendars.
"Sorry, can we move this?"
Interview rescheduling is the single biggest candidate experience killer in hiring. Every reschedule introduces friction, delay, and doubt. Most rescheduling happens because the original slot wasn't confirmed properly against everyone's real availability.
Every friction point, eliminated
One tool that handles the whole scheduling loop — from poll to booked calendar invite.
All interviewers' calendars checked automatically
Add every interviewer as a required host in Schedly. The poll only shows time slots where every required host is genuinely free — checked against their live Google or Outlook calendar in real time. If even one interviewer has a conflict, that slot doesn't appear. No manual Slack thread, no calendar comparison, no accidental double-booking.
Candidate votes in 30 seconds, no account needed
Send the candidate one clean poll link. They open it, see your proposed times in their local timezone, and click their preference — no Schedly account, no app download, no login. Response rate on Schedly interview polls is consistently above 95% because the friction is near zero.
The slot books automatically for every attendee
When the candidate votes and a slot is confirmed, Schedly books the interview instantly. Calendar invites go to the candidate and every interviewer with the event time, video link, and any intake questions you've configured. Nobody has to manually create a calendar event or forward a confirmation.
From poll to booked meeting in four steps
The entire loop — poll creation to confirmed calendar invite — automated.
Create the interview poll
Open Meeting Polls in Schedly. Add all interviewers as required hosts — their live calendars are checked automatically. Click the slots you want to offer candidates. Only times where everyone is genuinely free appear.
Send the candidate one link
Copy the poll link and paste it into your outreach email or ATS message. The candidate sees proposed times in their timezone, no account needed, and votes in a single click.
Interview books automatically
When the candidate selects a time, Schedly books it immediately. Calendar invites go to the candidate and all interviewers. Your configured video link, intake questions, and confirmation message fire automatically.
Reminders run on autopilot
Schedly sends automated reminders to the candidate and interviewers before the interview. If a reschedule is needed, the same poll flow handles it cleanly — no manual coordination.
