AI Companion in Request-to-schedule

DATE:
AUTHOR: The Eightfold team

WHAT'S INCLUDED

The AI Interview Companion has always been available when you schedule an interview directly. This feature extends it to the request-to-schedule flow: when you ask a coordinator to schedule (or edit an existing request), you can add the companion right there, and it carries into the meeting once the coordinator books it. Availability in those two flows is controlled per tenant.

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Add the companion earlier. You no longer have to wait until an interview is directly scheduled — you can request it with the companion already attached.

  • One less handoff. The companion choice travels with the request, so the coordinator who books the interview doesn't have to add it separately.

  • Same companion, more entry points. Once added, the companion behaves exactly as it does from direct scheduling — it joins, takes notes, and auto-fills feedback.

Requirements

AI Interview Companion enabled for the tenant.

GETTING STARTED

Admins: Confirm the AI Interview Companion is enabled in Admin Console ▸ Product Setup ▸ AI Agents ▸ Configure AI Interview Companion. Then have companion-in-request-to-schedule turned on for the tenant through feature configuration. Recruiters add the companion by turning on Interview Companion Agent in the request-to-schedule flow.

End users: In the Request to schedule and Edit request flows, recruiters see the Interview Companion Agent control and can add the companion. Once the coordinator books the interview, the companion joins as usual. The three direct scheduling flows are unchanged.
