Schedule interviews faster & deliver exceptional hiring experiences
Trusted by Leading Talent Teams
Hi Everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well. Happy Spooky Season! October was filled with exciting momentum, and we’re thrilled to share it with you. This month, we welcomed flagship customers, including one who switched from Goodtime (30ish days from their renewal) to elevate their scheduling experience with us.
Another highlight was when the Head of Talent at a current customer transitioned to a new company and made onboarding candidate.fyi one of her first decisions - showcasing the strength of our partnership. We’ve opened a new role on our team to support this growth.
Our platform remains the designated Interview Scheduling and candidate engagement ecosystem leader. We’re consistently the chosen tool for TA teams looking for either their first or a new scheduling tool. It’s rare for a team to change direction once they see our platform.
There are a couple of key reasons we see so many decide to partner with us over others in the market:
UI/UX: our team has obsessed over creating a platform that’s not only powerful but also simple to use, easy to understand, and doesn’t bog users down in complicated interfaces
We offer more: Recruiting teams are looking for more. They want a platform that can do several things, not just one, and they want a constant influx of efficiency gains for their team. We offer a full suite of engagement tools that take candidates on an immersive journey once they join your interview process.
Support: One of our core values and something the entire team obsesses over. We provide world-class support and success throughout the entirety of our partnership with customers. We’ll never drop the ball here.
We’re grateful to have you on this journey with us!
Now enough from me. Let’s jump into it.
Customer Love
Thanks Salesloft Team!
New Features
AI Feature - Magic Availability Input
At candidate.fyi, we know that gathering availability isn’t always straightforward. It can come in all shapes and forms:
A block of times in an email
A quick sentence via Slack or Teams
Abbreviations like “M, W, F” in a text
Even a verbal note at the end of a call
Handling all these inputs used to mean manual entry, which took time and was prone to error.
With Magic Availability Input, this has all changed.
Our AI NLP now reads any format of availability you throw at it and handles the rest. Just enter the details, and we’ll:
Interpret sentences, blocks of time, and abbreviations
Automatically input the availability—no need for manual work
Preferred Interviewer

Designate a preferred interviewer for any time slot.
