Step 1: Log in to Your Hellohire Account


Go to https://www.tryhellohire.com and log in with your credentials.


Step 2: Navigate to the Jobs Section


Click “Jobs” in the upper-left corner of your dashboard.

Step 4: Open the Schedule Tab


  • In the right-hand menu, click the “Schedule” tab.



  • Set your Interview Length.


  • Choose how many days in advance candidates can schedule.



  • Click “Edit Calendar” to manage availability.

Step 5: Choose Your Scheduling Type


You’ll see two scheduling options. You can switch between them anytime:


Option 1: Bulk Scheduling (Back-to-Back Interviews)


Ideal for interviewing multiple candidates in a single time block, such as a 1-hour session divided into 10-minute slots for up to 6 candidates. 


How to set up:


1. Add your availability by selecting the days and times you’re available.

  • Click “+ Add Availability” to add more slots.
  • Click the trash icon to remove a time slot. 


2. Select your timezone from the dropdown menu.



3. Set Calendar Buffer Time — choose the amount of time (in minutes) between Hellohire sessions and other events in your calendar.



4. Set Hellohire Session Buffer Time — choose the time (in minutes) between back-to-back interview sessions.


5. Set Maximum Interview Time Per Day — define how many hours per day you’re available for interviews.



6. Set Minimum Scheduling Notice — decide how far in advance (in hours) candidates must schedule. 



7. Click Save to apply your settings.


Option 2: Individual Scheduling (One-on-One Sessions)


Ideal for one-on-one interviews where each candidate books a separate time slot, providing more flexibility and control over your schedule. 


How to set up:


1. Add your availability by selecting days and times.

  • Click “+ Add Availability” to add more.
  • Use the trash icon to remove any slot.



2. Select your timezone from the dropdown.



3. Set Calendar Buffer Time — define the buffer time between Hellohire sessions and other calendar events.



4. Set Minimum Scheduling Notice — define how many hours in advance a candidate must schedule. 



5. Click Save to apply your settings.
