Use polling to find the best time to meet between recruiters, hiring managers and candidates

Follow a sequential order while polling to avoid back-and-forth and schedule a meeting 10x faster

As a recruiter, if the hiring manager has their calendars connected to FreeBusy, you can avoid the email back-and-forth and schedule on their behalf by checking their availability and suggesting only those times when the two of you are available.

But if the hiring managers do not have their calendars connected, the FreeBusy polls can let you find the best time to meet 10x faster.

1. Create a Poll

Add meeting participants and template to start the poll

Outlook or Gmail add-on from FreeBusy automatically captures the email-ids from "To/cc" fields and adds them as meeting participants.

You can then select the template to be used for the meeting and insert a poll link into the compose box.

2. Collect some options

Hiring manager only picks times available for the both of you

Since you did not pick any times for the poll, FreeBusy allows the first participant to check your availability and select all the times that they are available.

So when you share the poll link first with the hiring manager, all the timeslots they pick, automatically work for the both of you.

3. Let the candidate vote

Earliest time voted "yes" by the candidate is the time to meet

FreeBusy notifies you when the hiring manager has submitted their preferences on the poll link.

You can then share the link with the candidate and ask them to vote. FreeBusy automatically schedules the meeting at the earliest time voted as "Yes"

You do not always need to follow an order for polling. For many other use cases it can be much better to add the relevant time options and share the poll with everyone at once.
