Section Overview:
Scheduling in Ashby is very flexible; this guide covers the types of scheduling and the options for setting scheduling up. For more detailed guides, check out the Scheduling section of Ashby University.
There are two types of scheduling in Ashby, Direct Booking and using the Calendar Interface. Direct Booking allows candidates to review your interviewers’ availability and book themselves similar to other self-scheduling tools like Calendly and Acuity. Using the Calendar Interface works very similarly to Google or Outlook Calendar where you can view your interviewers’ availability and add events from Ashby.

There are two ways to set up scheduling, templated scheduling, and one-off scheduling. With templated scheduling, you can configure the details of an interview at a specific stage. You’ll be prompted to schedule candidates for the same interview with the same details each time, but can edit for individuals as needed. This option take more setup on the front end but creates the fastest and most seamless user experience once up and running.
With one-off scheduling, you save setup time on the front end by generating booking links and quickly scheduling interviews for each candidate. This option works well when you’re just getting started with hiring and don’t have many interviews to coordinate each week.

The Schedule Interview activity prompts you to schedule a candidate when they enter a stage. This activity enables both direct booking and pre-populate the details of a schedule when manually scheduling. To get the most out of Ashby, we highly recommend populating your interview plans with Schedule Interview activities to keep your pipeline moving efficiently!
