  4. Under "Select Platform" choose "Zoom" as the medium for conducting the interview.
  5. After filling in all the details and selecting Zoom, click Send Invitation.
  6. Once the interview is scheduled, go to the candidate’s profile to you can see the interview details at top of the candidate's profile, with the interview details.

Updating the Scheduled Interview Event​

Once the interview is scheduled, you can view its details at the top of the candidate’s profile. This includes the scheduled date and time, along with two options:

  1. Reschedule

  2. Cancel

a. Rescheduling an Interview​

If you need to make changes to the interview timing, click the Reschedule option. A modal will appear titled "Reschedule Interview Event."

As the meeting organiser, you can only update:

  • Event Date
  • Interview Time
  • Event Duration

Once rescheduled, the new details will be reflected both on the candidate’s profile and in Zoom automatically. All participants will receive updated calendar invites with the revised schedule.

b. Cancelling an Interview​

If the interview is no longer required, click Cancel

1. The interview will be marked as cancelled in the candidate’s profile. 2. The Zoom meeting will be automatically deleted from your Zoom calendar. 3. You will still see a record of the cancelled interview under the candidate’s past activity log, helping you keep track of the event history.

This makes it easy to manage real-time changes while ensuring full visibility about candidate timelines.
