Booking an Interview

When a candidate is ready to be interviewed, you can schedule it directly from their profile. IceHrm keeps a record of every interview against the candidate and notifies the interviewers.

Step 1 — Open the candidate's profile

  1. Open the Recruitment area and click Candidates.
  2. Find the candidate — use the board, the All Candidates list, or the search box.
  3. Click the View (eye) button to open their profile.

Step 2 — Schedule the interview

On the Interviews tab of the profile, click Schedule an Interview. A form opens.

The Schedule an Interview form

Fill in the details:

FieldWhat to enter
Scheduled TimeThe date and time the interview will take place.
DurationHow long you expect it to run.
Time ZoneThe time zone for the scheduled time — important if interviewers are in different regions.
InterviewersThe employees who will conduct the interview. You can pick more than one.
StatusThe interview's state, e.g. scheduled or completed.
Meeting DetailsThe location, a video-call link, or any instructions for the candidate and interviewers.

Click Save. The interview now appears on the candidate's Interviews tab, and you can add more (for example a first and second round) the same way.

After the interview

  • Come back to the candidate's profile and use the Candidate Feedback tab to record how it went.
  • When you're ready, move the candidate to the next stage on the hiring board — for example from Interview to Offer.

Tips

  • Add a joining link in Meeting Details for remote interviews so everyone has it in one place.
  • Set the time zone carefully when the candidate or interviewers are in another region, to avoid mix-ups.
  • Schedule soon after short-listing so good candidates don't lose interest.
