Procedure to connect your calendar

Before you can use the scheduling functions, you will need to connect your calendar with the Eightfold platform.

Both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook are supported.

Follow below steps to connect your calendar with Eightfold platform:

1. From the Talent Acquisition navigation bar, click on the arrow next to your name at the top right of your screen.
   
2. Click on your account name.
3. From the Account page, select My Calendar.
4. Click Connect XXX Calendar. (In this example, Google calendar is the default. Microsoft Outlook is also supported.)
5. If you are connecting to a Google calendar, click the account name you want to connect to.
6. Click Allow to continue the process.
7. Choose a calendar option. Interview Scheduling is the default.
8. Click Confirm to complete the process.
9. From the My Calendar tab, confirm that the calendar has been successfully connected. You can access a link to share your calendar.
10. From the My Calendar tab, you can configure the settings that allow you to further customize your interviewing preferences that sync with your calendar as you use the Eightfold platform.

Note: To schedule a meeting between the hiring manager and the candidate, the hiring manager does not need to connect their calendar. Only the scheduler needs to connect their calendar and can have the ability to see real-time availability and schedule meetings.
