Overview

Before you can schedule interviews in Wizehire, you’ll need to connect your calendar.

Wizehire uses a secure integration powered by Nylas to sync your availability. This allows the platform to check your calendar and prevent scheduling conflicts when setting up interviews.

Once connected, your availability stays up to date automatically.


How calendar connection works

Wizehire connects to your calendar through Nylas, a secure scheduling integration.

When connected:

  • your availability is synced in real time

  • busy times are automatically blocked

  • only open time slots can be used for scheduling

💡 Helpful note: Wizehire does not display your full calendar. It only uses your availability to support scheduling.


How to connect your calendar

  • Go to your Account Settings

  • Locate the Interview Schedule section

  • Click Connect Your Calendar

  • Select your provider (we can currently support Google or Microsoft)

  • Follow the prompts to authorize access through Nylas

  • Make sure this box is checked in order for the connection to work correctly:

(Wizehire will never delete calendars and we will not modify/delete events other than interviews scheduled/canceled through Wizehire.)


What to expect after connecting

Once your calendar is connected:

  • your availability will sync automatically

  • existing events will block off busy times

  • you’re ready to move forward with interview scheduling

💡 Helpful note: If your calendar is not connected, you may not be able to use scheduling features in Wizehire.


Troubleshooting calendar connection

Calendar not syncing correctly

  • confirm you connected the correct account

  • check that your calendar events are up to date
