You can automate candidate interviews by letting qualified applicants skip the application step and book an interview with you directly.
How do I access outreach settings for a job?
1. Click Jobs from the left navigation bar, then select the job you want to automate interviews for.
2. Click Manage outreach in the banner at the top of the job's Overview page.
How do I turn on automated interview booking?
1. Turn on the "Automatically book interviews with top candidates" toggle.
2. In the Schedule link field, enter the URL to your external scheduling tool, such as Calendly, Outlook, or Google Calendar.
3. In the "Remind candidates of your must-haves" field, enter any details you want Handshake to share with candidates before they book, such as required qualifications or documents to bring.
Note: Handshake reminds candidates of the details you entered before they book an interview.
4. Click the black Update job button to save your changes.
How do I manage applicants who book automated interviews?
Candidates who book an interview through your scheduling link appear in the Applicants tab of the job posting.
- Some candidates may indicate they booked an interview when they have not. Follow up with these candidates by messaging them directly in Handshake or by downloading their email addresses.
For more detail on reviewing, sorting, and messaging applicants, refer to Reviewing Applications in Handshake.
