How AI Interview Scheduling Works
From a ready candidate to a fully booked panel, the whole loop runs itself:
Start from the pipeline
Samay picks up candidates the moment they clear screening, so scheduling begins as soon as someone is ready to interview.
Set the panel
You choose who sits on each round — Technical, System Design, Final — and Samay reads their calendars to see when they're actually free.
Find panel-wide slots
Samay finds the timezone-aware windows where the whole panel overlaps, and surfaces only those — no chasing anyone for availability.
Candidate self-schedules
The candidate gets a one-click link and picks a slot that already works for everyone — no proposing dates and waiting on replies.
Invites, prep + reminders
Calendar invites with prep go to the candidate and panel, and reminders for each round queue automatically so nothing slips.
Hand back to conversations
With the logistics handled, recruiters spend their time on candidates instead of coordination.
Manual Scheduling vs Automated Scheduling
| Dimension | Manual Scheduling | Automated Scheduling |
|---|---|---|
| Panel coordination | An email thread per interviewer | Panel formed automatically |
| Finding slots | Back-and-forth to land a time | Mutual availability in seconds |
| Invites & prep | Sent by hand, easy to miss | Auto-sent with prep attached |
| Reminders | Manual follow-ups | Scheduled automatically |
| Time per loop | Days of ping-pong | Minutes, hands-free |
Key Capabilities
Cross-calendar slotting
Finds times that work across the whole panel at once, not one interviewer at a time.
Candidate self-scheduling
The candidate books in one click from the slots that already fit the whole panel — no recruiter middleman.
Invites + prep sent
Calendar invites go out to candidate and panel with prep and context attached.
Automatic reminders
Reminders are scheduled for every round, so fewer interviews slip and no one is chased.
No email ping-pong
Days of coordination become a one-click self-schedule from slots that already work for everyone.
Ready for any format
Video links or room details are attached so every round is set to go the moment it's booked.
