Scheduling an interview

Schedule an interview from a candidate profile via the Interview Scheduler modal or as a calendar event.

Two ways to schedule

CVViZ has two paths to schedule an interview:

  1. Interview Scheduler modal — purpose-built for one-on-one interviews. Captures candidate and interviewer details and generates a meeting URL.

  2. Calendar Event modal — the generic calendar event creator, which can be used for interviews when you want more control over date/time/recurrence.

Path A — Interview Scheduler modal

This is the fastest path. The modal title is "Inteview Candidate" (note: typo in the product).

Step 1 — Fill the form

  • Candidate's Name — read-only, pre-filled from the candidate.

  • Candidate's Email Address — read-only.

  • Candidate's Timezone — dropdown.

  • Interviewer's Name — text input.

  • Interviewer's Email Address — text input.

  • Interviewer's Timezone — dropdown.

  • "I will conduct the interview myself" — checkbox; ticking it pre-fills the interviewer fields with your details.

Click Next to advance.

Step 2 — Confirm and send

The modal generates a meeting URL plus access credentials for both candidate and interviewer. Buttons:

  • Copy Candidate Access Info

  • Copy Interviewer Access Info

  • Send invitation via email — sends the templated invite to both parties.

Path B — Calendar Event modal

Use this when you want more control or are scheduling a non-interview meeting that involves the candidate. The modal captures:

  • Event title and description.

  • Event type (e.g. "call").

  • Meeting type — segmented control with two options: inperson or audiovideo.

  • Attendees list.

  • Meeting URL — paste any link (Zoom, Meet, Teams, etc.).

  • Date and time.

  • Timezone.

  • Recurring type.

Video meeting URLs

CVViZ does not have direct Zoom / Google Meet / Microsoft Teams provisioning built into the scheduler. The flow is generic:

  • The Interview Scheduler generates a CVViZ meeting URL via POST — it returns aplus participant access rules and passcodes.

  • For the Calendar Event modal, paste any meeting URL you have (Zoom, Meet, Teams, custom).

What the candidate gets

The candidate receives an email with the meeting URL and their access info. Standard email — no SMS reminders are configured at this scheduler level.

API behind the scenes

  • Send the invite — POST .

  • Generate a meeting link — POST returnsandwith access rules.

Tips

  • Always confirm the candidate's timezone — the scheduler captures it but assumes you've checked. The invite email shows the time in their zone.

  • If you're conducting the interview yourself, use the "I will conduct the interview myself" checkbox to skip retyping your details.

  • For multi-person involvement, schedule via the Calendar Event modal with multiple attendees, and have each interviewer submit independent feedback after.
