The Best Way for Recruiters to Schedule Interviews (Skip the Back-and-Forth)

The Skej Team2025-05-02

If you're a recruiter, you know that getting top candidates in the door is only half the battle. The other half? Coordinating calendars. Yours, the hiring manager’s, the candidate’s — sometimes even a panel of interviewers. And suddenly you’re deep in email threads, spreadsheets, and reschedule hell. That’s why modern recruiting teams are turning to Skej — the AI scheduling assistant that handles all of it. Automatically. Instantly. Without the back-and-forth.

Interview Scheduling: Where Momentum Goes to Die

You’ve found a great candidate. They’re interested. Now it’s time to set up a round of interviews. Sounds simple. But you know how it goes:

  • You check with the hiring manager.
  • They suggest three possible times.
  • You send those to the candidate.
  • They’re not free for any of them.
  • You go back to the hiring manager.
  • One of those new times works… but now the candidate’s traveling.
  • Repeat.
  • Repeat.
  • Repeat.

By the time you’ve nailed down a time, it’s a week later — and your “hot candidate” has accepted another offer.

Skej: Your AI-Powered Recruiting Coordinator

Skej eliminates all of that. Instead of juggling everyone’s calendars manually, Skej coordinates automatically — and books the interview in real time. Here’s how it works:

  1. You CC Skej on any email with the candidate
  2. Skej checks your calendar AND the hiring manager’s
  3. It offers only times that work for everyone internally
  4. It proposes options to the candidate
  5. It books the interview and sends out the calendar invites

No manual coordination. No back-and-forth. No dropped balls.

When everyone uses Skej, it gets even smarter

If the recruiter and the hiring manager both use Skej, it becomes even more powerful. Skej knows both of your calendars, availability preferences, and rules — so it can instantly find overlapping times without you doing anything. It offers only the right times to the candidate, making the whole process faster, cleaner, and more professional. No shared calendars. No coordination calls. Just an assistant who already knows what works.

Why Recruiters Love Skej for Interview Scheduling

  • Group availability logic: Skej can check availability for multiple internal team members at once
  • Flexible across time zones: Especially helpful for remote roles or global talent
  • Understands interview structure: Can handle 1:1s, panels, phone screens, and video conference formats
  • Works in your email: No new portals or training for candidates — they just reply
  • Always-on: Skej responds instantly, even when you’re busy or offline
  • Handles reschedules with grace: If anything changes, Skej takes care of it — no need to restart the whole process

Bonus: Save templates for different interview flows

Got a standard phone number? Always scheduling 45-min intros with the hiring manager? Save your preferences and Skej will use that every time. If it’s different, you can always just let Skej know something else. Skej can understand context based on the email so you can either let it use your defaults, or tell it what kind of meeting to book: “Let’s find time for a 45-minute phone interview with Jane and Alex next week.” Done. Skej handles it, including time zone logic and calendar invites for everyone.

The Result: Less Admin, More Hires

Recruiters using Skej:

  • Save hours each week on coordination
  • Respond to candidates faster (and more professionally)
  • Book interviews the same day interest is expressed
  • Reduce drop-off between stages
  • Impress candidates with a smoother experience

Want to compete for top talent? Speed matters — and Skej gives you the edge.
