Send a booking link (let the candidate pick a time)

What it is

A booking link lets the candidate choose their own interview time from your interviewers' availability, instead of you picking a fixed slot. When they book, Binary creates the interview and the Google Calendar invite automatically. It's the self-scheduling alternative to fixing a time in Schedule an interview.

Requires the Business plan, a connected Google Calendar, and the candidate to have an email - same prerequisites as scheduling.

Steps

1. Open the candidate from the Responses page → Interviews tab → Schedule Interview.
2. At the top of the scheduling dialog, switch from Schedule now to Create booking link.
3. Add the interviewer(s) - the link is built from their availability (you'll see "Add an interviewer to create booking link" until you do).
4. Set the meeting details - the Title is prefilled the same way as a scheduled interview (defaults to "Interview with" your workspace name; edit it, or an admin can change the default under Settings → Workspace defaults → Interview name). Online adds a Google Meet link automatically, or choose a location; optionally add a description and the interviewer-only feedback link.
5. Click Create. The candidate gets a link to pick a slot; once they book, the interview and calendar invite are created for everyone.

Where availability comes from

The offered slots come from your interviewers' availability (set under Settings → Interviews → Availability) combined with their connected Google Calendars' free/busy.

Notes & limits

• Business plan, Google Calendar connected, and a candidate email are required.
• You must add at least one interviewer before a booking link can be created.
• Once the candidate books, it behaves like any other interview (feedback, Show in calendar, etc.).
