Redwood Experience: Create Interview Schedule Template

Take advantage of the interview schedule template creation page that has been recreated in the Redwood toolset called Visual Builder Studio. When Redwood profile options are enabled, upon selecting the Create button on the Redwood Interview Schedule Templates list page, you access the Redwood interview schedule template creation flow.

Below are key highlights of the new Redwood page.

How to start

The creation flow starts with the How to start section where you select who will schedule the interview: the hiring team or the candidate. Note that the schedule types in Redwood are called Hiring Team (instead of Hiring Team Managed) and Candidate (instead of Candidate Managed). Based on your selection, fields that appear will vary.

The Set template as default checkbox allows defining if the template being created is a default template. Default templates are used to create an interview schedule automatically when scheduling an interview for a requisition which doesn't have an interview schedule. You can only set as default Hiring team managed templates and candidate managed templates where time slots are determined automatically based on interviewers' availability. You can only have one default template of each type.

Configure schedule

Fields in the Configure schedule section vary depending on the schedule type you selected in the How to start section.

When can candidates schedule their interview: If you select Same day, candidates can select an interview time slot the same day that they access the scheduling page. If you select After a specific number of days, candidates can select an interview time slot after a number of days after which they accessed the scheduling page.

Add interview resources

These fields are new in Redwood: Interviewer guidelines and Documents. Both fields are used to provide additional information to the interviewers.

When AI Assist is enabled, you can use it to generate text in these fields: For the scheduled interview, Additional notes, Interviewer guidelines. 

When you decide to add .ics attachments to the interview invite, you can now send the attachments to candidates, interviewers, or both.
