Below are key highlights of the new Redwood page.

Basic info

  • Who will schedule the interview: The schedule types are now called Hiring Team (instead of Hiring Team Managed) and Candidate (instead of Candidate Managed).
  • How will time slots be determined: This field is only displayed for Candidate schedule type and if Recruiting Booster is enabled with a calendar integration. The field indicates whether time slots are automatically created based on the interviewer's availability (using calendar integration) or if they're created manually by users.
