Additional Interviewer availability

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Interviewer calendars don't always show when someone's actually free to interview — time blocked for focus or other work hides real availability, so schedulers chase options by hand and candidates see fewer slots.

Additional interviewer availability closes that gap. Interviewers — or recruiters and schedulers on their behalf — can add one-time or recurring availability windows beyond an interviewer's standard calendar free/busy. Eightfold treats those windows as free, so more slots surface in recruiter-led scheduling and candidate self-scheduling. Existing meetings stay untouched, and each interviewer's scheduling preferences are still respected.

Manage it right where you schedule — the scheduling center, scheduling wizard, interview plan, and scheduling templates gain quick actions for adding and editing availability.

WHY IT MATTERS

• Soft blocks like focus time or holds can be opened for interviews.

• Executives and other high-demand interviewers can commit specific interview time amid their busy schedule.

• Recruiters can open available time slots on behalf of interviewers, and interviewers can manage additional availability from their account section.

FEATURE DETAILS

GETTING STARTED

Admins: Configure how far in advance users can add availability, along with email notifications, calendar holds, and calendar hold content.
To know more, read Configure additional interviewer availability.

End users: A recruiter opens Interviewer availability from the Scheduling Center, scheduling wizard, interview plan, or the scheduling template, adds a recurring window, and those extra times appear as free slots. Interviewers can review the additional availability added on their behalf by a recruiter or scheduler from their Account page. They can also add or manage their own additional availability from the same place.
Candidates simply see more available times during self-scheduling.
