Why recruiters use CommonTime

No login for candidates

Candidates don't need to create an account or install anything. They open the link, enter their name, and mark their available slots.

Cross-timezone interviews

CommonTime auto-detects each person's time zone. A slot that shows as 10am EST appears as 3pm GMT for your London interviewer — automatically.

Panel overlap detection

See at a glance which slots work for all interviewers simultaneously. No more manually cross-referencing three calendars.

Calendar invite in one click

Once you've picked a slot, export a calendar event to Google Calendar or Outlook. Share the .ics with the candidate instantly.

Completely free

Unlike Calendly or HireVue scheduling, CommonTime has no per-seat pricing, no paid plans, and no limits on guest votes.
