Expand your interview availability by giving candidates a pool of interviewers who define their availability.

You may have more than one recruiter at your organisation who conducts interviews at a certain stage. In Pinpoint you can define multiple interviewers as part of the interviewing team, but specify that only one of them actually conduct the interview. This potentially expands the availability by giving candidates the option to schedule an interview with any one of the interviewing team members.

When you invite the candidate to interview, you'll see the Invite to interview screen appear. Scroll down to the "Select the interviewing team" section of the page. Under Interviewing Team Participation, choose Select the number of interviewers required.

You'll see an + Add Interviewer button. Click on this.

You'll see two drop-down boxes appear. The first box, labelled Interviewer, is for you to select a Pinpoint user to add to the pool of interviewers. The second box, labelled Conferencing Provider, is used for you to select the Conferencing Provider for any online interviews scheduled here, for example Google Meet.

Click on + Add Interviewer until you've added all the users you'd like to add to the pool of interviewers.

The next field, labeled Number of Interviewers, requires you to enter in how many interviewers you need to participate in any one given interview.

Say for example, you'd like one person to conduct the interview, but there could be three potential interviewers. You'd add three users to the interviewing team, and enter the number of interviewers as 1.

This way, the candidate will be shown availability for interview based on any one of the three interviewing team members specified in this screen.

Please note that you are unable to set availability manually when defining the number of interviewers. You will need to calculate the interview slots based on the interviewing team members' availability. This relies on the user(s) selected in the interviewing team having synchronized their calendars.

See our guide How do I synchronize my Calendar with Pinpoint? to learn how to synchronize your calendar.
