Tips!
Going on vacation and want to assign a different host who will be covering you? Change your interview host easily via the Settings tab.
If you assign multiple hosts to an Opening’s interviews, the combination of the hosts’ entered availability will be shown to applicants for interview slot selection. This can allow for more interview slots for applicants to choose from.
