**3. Configure interview details**

Choose the **main interviewer**, select the **meeting format**, and add any additional attendees. You can also connect your **Google Calendar** or **Outlook Calendar** to coordinate availability, set automated interview reminders, and include an optional candidate message or internal note.

Once configured, proceed based on your selected scheduling method:

* **Add interview time slots:** Click **Continue to time slots** to set available dates and times.
* **Request interviewer availability:** Click **Continue to messages** to prepare the availability request.
* **Use a third-party booking link:** Click **Continue** to proceed with your external scheduling link.
* **Set a time and send invites:** Click **Continue to set times** to enter the agreed interview schedule.

**4.  Add available interview time slots**

Depending on your selected scheduling method, you can:

* **Add interview time slots:** Choose exact times or a time range, set your time zone and interview duration, and add available slots. Click **Continue to messages**.
* **Request interviewer availability:** Customize the email requesting available times, along with booking confirmations and reminders. Click **Email the interviewer** to collect their availability before candidates receive a booking link.
* **Use a third-party booking link:** Provide a link from your preferred scheduling tool for candidates to book their interviews.
* **Set a time and send invites:** Enter the agreed interview date and time and prepare calendar invitations for the candidate and attendees.

**5.  Review and confirm interview scheduling**

Review your interview details, messages, and recipients before confirming. The final action depends on your selected scheduling method:

* **Add interview time slots:** Review the available slots, booking invitation, confirmation, and reminder messages. Confirm to send candidates their booking links.
* **Request interviewer availability:** Review the availability request and click **Email the interviewer**. Once the interviewer provides available times, candidates can receive their booking links.
* **Use a third-party booking link:** Review your external booking link and invitation message before sending it to candidates.
* **Set a time and send invites:** Verify the scheduled date, time, interviewer, attendees, and invitation details before sending calendar invitations.

Once confirmed, KitaHQ helps coordinate interview communications and keeps your hiring process moving forward.
