How Calendar Sync Helps Avoid Double-Booking

Connect your calendar to 100Hires to see real-time availability when scheduling interviews and prevent scheduling conflicts.


How It Works


When calendars are connected:


  1. Your calendar events appear in 100Hires: Busy times are blocked
  2. 100Hires interviews appear on your calendar: Two-way sync
  3. Colleague availability is visible: See everyone's free slots
  4. Conflicts are prevented: System shows when people are busy


Connecting Your Calendar


  1. Go to Settings / Integrations
  2. Find Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar
  3. Click Connect
  4. Authorize access


Scheduling with Availability View


When scheduling an interview:


  1. Open candidate profile
  2. Go to Interviews tab
  3. Click Schedule Interview
  4. Select interviewers
  5. Calendar view shows:
  • Gray blocks = existing meetings
  • White blocks = available times
  • All selected interviewers' availability
  1. Pick a time when everyone is free
  2. Save and send invites
