Manually scheduling interviews takes up to 15 hours a week for HR staff members. With this manual, you will learn how to use Cal ID to automate the whole process, from setting up the appointment/booking to sending reminders.

Recruitment involves plenty of work. There is the process of screening resumes, short-listing candidates, liaison work with the hiring team, and then finding a mutually agreeable date.
There are many hours each week spent only on making arrangements. This is often preceded by questions like, “Can we meet on Tuesday?” which may be answered by “I am sorry, Tuesday does not suit me. How about Thursday?” and then “Well, my colleague also cannot make it on Thursday.”
Cal ID is a meeting and appointment scheduling tool that automates the entire interview booking process. Candidates pick their own slot. Meetings are confirmed automatically. Reminders go out on their own. Your team spends zero time on coordination.
