Hi @Valentina27432!

Great question. The not so great news is that there’s no easy way of doing what you’re describing, so I’m going to add this to my December Product feedback round up and will absolutely make some noise on your behalf!

As for the ‘no easy way’, there’s a bit of a workaround. It’s not stunning, but it’s something!

I’m assuming in this scenario that out of you, the people running the interview, and the interviewee - you’re the only one actually using Calendly? Right? If that’s the case, a potential solution might be to create a separate account just for scheduling purposes that doesn’t check for conflicts (I’d link it to a sub-calendar that isn’t your primary calendar) and exists purely to facilitate interviews. You can then use the meeting poll functionality to provide some logical time slots (ie, this week, next week, only on next 3 Wednesdays, etc.) for the interviewer and interviewee and once the right time is evident, you book it for them like you described. Your facilitator persona would be technically on the meeting invite, but this wouldn’t seem weird at all I think! I’ve been on many interviews where there’s ‘someone’ on the invite, but you can tell it’s a administrative or workflow presence.

I hope this helps a bit. And I hope we’ll have some improved functionality for our recruiting friends soon!

And if we’re wrong in the assumption that you’re the only one using Calendly, let us know! If your interviewers are using it too, then there are a number of ways to accomplish what you’re talking about, with collaborative + team features :)

Thanks Jillian and Danielle!

It would be amazing if something could indeed be developed!
The assumption is correct, I’m the only one using Calendly, and the invited people (even the interviewers) are in many cases not part of my organization and don’t have a seat themselves.

Also many thanks for the workaround idea, I will give it a try! :)
