Can you feel it? There’s a buzz in the air that only comes when we’re on the brink of something fresh. We’re rolling right into the heart of spring, and our team at candidate.fyi is feeling that same sense of renewal and excitement as the blooms outside.

If you’re joining us for the first time, welcome to our community hub (we send this out every 2 weeks)! I’m Chris Connors, co-founder of candidate.fyi and your go-to for all the ins, outs, and in-betweens of navigating the complex web of TA tools, most specifically candidate engagement and interview scheduling.

For all our coordination warriors out there, imagine if your scheduling tool could auto-replace interviewers who declined that calendar invite that took so long to coordinate. Well, welcome to the future because it’s finally here (see below!

Whether you’re here to explore, learn, or just see what’s new, we’re thrilled to share our updates with you every couple of weeks.

Auto Replace Functionality

Introducing a powerful feature that’s changing the game for coordination teams - Auto-Replace

Have you ever faced last-minute dropout jitters? When an interviewer cancels, scrambling to find a replacement can be a real stress test: slack pings, emails, huddles, and calendar chaos.

Not anymore

With candidate.fyi’s latest release, if an interviewer declines, our system automatically finds and confirms a suitable replacement, all within seconds.

Here’s how it works:

1. The interviewer declines the scheduled interview

2. Auto-Replace instantly jumps into action

3. Another qualified interviewer is notified and slotted in

4. Coordination teams receive an update like magic

No gaps, no panic, just smooth sailing.
