Set the schedule

On the Schedule tab, you'll add one or more interviews along with their interview instructions and feedback forms. You’ll also be able to assign specific interviewers or pools of interviewers to each slot on the panel.

Along with assigning your own pools to interviewer slots, you’ll also have the option to select Hiring Team Roles and pull users with those roles on job considerations to be on the panel. Please note that these hiring team roles are assigned within each job’s settings, and these roles are not pulled from the permissions set on a user’s profile on the Employees page.
