## 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 busy times](https://www.loom.com/share/f2e94f66e2854750a1ee229b9dcfda7c), 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.

## 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.
