Update the interview schedule name
For any new interview schedule created specifically for virtual interviews, include the word “virtual” in the title.
If you are converting an existing on-campus interview to a virtual format, update the title to reflect that change.
Example: Virtual Sales Representative Interviews or Sales Representative-Virtual.
Add your virtual meeting link
After updating the interview schedule to indicate it will be held virtually, choose one of the following methods to share your meeting link with candidates. You can:
Add the link to the interview schedule description
Include your virtual meeting URL in the Interview Schedule Description field when creating or editing the schedule.
Note: This link does not display as a clickable hyperlink. Students will need to copy and paste the URL into their browser.
If you use this method, send a message to all interview candidates instructing them to check the description for the virtual meeting link. Learn more about Messaging Applicants.
Add the link to the interviewer slots
Once the school approves the interview schedule and interview slots have been created, you can add a meeting link to individual slots.
Select a slot from the list. To apply the same link to multiple slots, check the box next to the room name, then click the blue Edit Bulk Slots button.
2. In the pop-up modal, enter the meeting link in the Interviewer field, then click the blue Save button.
3. After saving, the meeting link will display in the Interviewer column for each updated slot.
Add the link to a room assignment (partner with school)
Schools can add a virtual meeting link to one of their rooms and assign it to your interview slots. Only school staff can make these changes.
If the school chooses this method, the link will appear in the Interviewer column on the slot list.
Partner with the school to determine whether this option is suitable for your interview schedule.
