Recruiting Blocks allow your recruiting team to collaborate effectively with interviewers, such as hiring managers, who have limited availability or specific preferences for interview times. By adding Recruiting Blocks to their calendars, interviewers enable ModernLoop to prioritize these times for interview scheduling.

Setting Up Recruiting Blocks (Org Level)

To enable Recruiting Blocks for your organization:

1. Navigate to Organization Settings

   • Click Organization Settings from the left navigation menu.

2. Select Scheduling interviews → General

   • In the General tab, scroll to the Keywords block.

     

3. Define Keywords/Phrases

   • Enter the keywords or phrases that interviewers will use to identify recruiting blocks on their calendars.
   • Keywords are not case-sensitive.

<aside> ⚠️

Avoid using generic words that might conflict with other calendar events (e.g., "meeting" or "call"). Use unique phrases like "recruiting-block" or "block for recruiting only".

How to Use Recruiting Blocks

1. Setting Up Blocks on Interviewer Calendars

• Once keywords/phrases are defined, interviewers can add recruiting blocks to their calendars using these phrases.
• ModernLoop will prioritize these blocks when suggesting interview times.
• Recruiting blocks created by your interviewers must be set as public events on their calendars; otherwise, ModernLoop will not recognize or display them.

Example: If an interviewer has a recruiting block labeled "recruiting-block" on their calendar, ModernLoop will prioritize scheduling interviews during that time.
