## FAQ

## Is the availability that is shared with a candidate real-time?

Yes. This will always be updated based on the calendar changes of the interviewer pool.

Only when you choose to [override availability](https://www.loom.com/share/fbfc2ec9c15f479b94ae7c6a3bbb7103), or [ignore availability](https://www.loom.com/share/fbb070ffb5f246df821c86a797487561), will we disregard any calendar updates.

## How do I schedule with a pool of interviewers?

You'll need to first create a selection rule. After that you can add this rule as the host of the meeting and we will select one person, or multiple people, to attend the meeting.

## Why does the availability preview show different slots when I create the request than in the final booking form?

To ensure we calculate the availability of needed interviewers as fast as possible, we select a randomized subset of interviewers from the larger selection rule. This subsets' availability is usually ˜6-10 interviewers.

When you create the request you will only see a preview of availability, when you create the request the booking form will select a final subset of interviewers that is static and will be shown to the candidate.

## Will everyone's timezone automatically be taken into account?

Yes, we will take availability based on the interviewer(s) timezone settings and share this with the candidate in their own timezone.
