Interviews let you talk to a shortlisted applicant before committing to a working relationship.
Starting an interview
From your applicant list, click Start Interview. This opens a private interview channel between you and the applicant — scoped to that one job application:
- Temporary and time-boxed (about two weeks by default, extendable)
- Only the two of you can see it — separate from all workspaces
- Clearly labeled so it never looks like an active working relationship
Scheduling an interview call
Either side proposes a time; the other confirms, declines, or suggests a new time. Interview calls are scheduled only — no surprise ringing. Confirmed interviews appear on your calendar with reminders.
Outcomes
- Hire → converts to a real connection + workspace; the interview channel becomes read-only history
- Decline / Withdraw → the channel closes read-only
- Expiry → the channel goes read-only, but the applicant is never auto-rejected — you can reopen or decide
- Messages before the connection are not copied into the workspace
