# Scheduling and your calendar

> In Tandem, the Schedule stage sends candidates a booking link; they pick a slot in your availability and the interview goes on your calendar.

## Set up the interview rounds

Open the role, click `Hiring flow`, expand `Schedule` and click `Edit stage`. The stage holds one or more rounds, and each round has:

- **Interviewers.** Interview guests, or your calendar if none.
- **Slot duration.** How long the interview is.
- **Notes.** What the candidate should know beforehand.

Moving a candidate out of `Schedule` is always up to you.

## Set your availability

Open `Calendar` in the sidebar and click `Availability`. Turn each day on, add the hours candidates can book, and choose your time zone. `Copy to all days` repeats one day's hours. Changes save automatically.

Connect Google Calendar so Tandem offers only your free time and adds booked interviews to your calendar. Calendar works with Google Calendar only.

## Interview guests

Interview guests are interviewers from outside your workspace, such as a hiring manager. They don't need a Tandem login. Open `Calendar` → `Interview Guests`, click `Add interview guest`, and enter their details and availability.

You host every interview. Guests are added as attendees and get the invite by email, only when an interview is scheduled.

## Track interviews

`My Calendar` shows your interviews by day, week or month. Its list view has two tabs:

- `Interviews`: reschedule, cancel or mark a no-show.
- `Invites`: booking links candidates haven't used. Copy one to send it again.

Scheduling doesn't use credits.
