# Schedule an interview

On the application, open Interviews and click Add interview. The candidate is e-mailed when you move them to an interview stage and choose this interview.

## Add the interview

1. Open the application and choose the “Interviews” tab.
2. Click “Add interview”.
3. Fill in the “Date”, the “Timezone”, the “Interview start time” and the “Duration”.
4. Type the “Location”: a room, an address or a video link.
5. Choose the “Participants”: the people of your team who meet the candidate.
6. Add “Internal comments” if you want. The candidate never sees them.
7. Click “Publish”.

The interview shows in the “Interviews” tab and in “Calendar”. See [Tasks, interviews and time off on the calendar](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/tasks-interviews-and-time-off-on-the-calendar).

## Tell the candidate

Adding the interview sends no e-mail. To invite the candidate:

1. Move the application to your interview stage.
2. Turn on “Send notification email?” and choose this interview in “Select interview”.
3. Click “Change Status”.

The candidate gets your message with a calendar invitation, and the participants get a copy. See [E-mail a candidate when you move their application](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/email-a-candidate-when-you-move-them).

The candidate also sees the interview in their own Skileo, in their application.

## Let the candidate choose the time

Instead of choosing the time yourself, you can send the candidate a link with your free times. See [Let a candidate choose an interview time](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/let-a-candidate-choose-an-interview-time).


## Common questions

### How do I cancel an interview?

In the “Interviews” tab, click the bin next to the interview. Tell the candidate yourself, for example with “Send message”.

### Can I schedule the interview while I move the application?

Yes. In the “Change Status” panel, click “Schedule an interview.”
