Six questions to ask before buying interview scheduling software

Government scheduling isn’t Calendly. Different questions, different answers.

Generic scheduling tools designed for private sector hiring typically fail Government requirements. Six questions separate fit-for-purpose tools from those that will create compliance debt.

One, where is the data hosted? Two, does it support panel interview structures, not just one-on-one? Three, how does it handle candidate data under the Privacy Act? Four, does it produce an audit trail for FOI and merit review? Five, does it integrate with your existing ATS? Six, can it scale to bulk recruitment rounds of 50, 100, or 200 candidates?

The answers to these questions will eliminate most global scheduling platforms immediately. The ones that remain are the ones worth shortlisting.

Before your next scheduling tool procurement, require written answers to these six questions from every vendor.
