Interview booking and a candidate base for recruitment agencies

Candidates pick a time for a screening call or an interview themselves, the evening included, when they are no longer at their own desk. Bookings land in the team’s shared calendar, and every conversation, role and note stays in the CRM.

What the agency gets

A faster first conversation. Fewer no-shows. A candidate base of your own.

Bookly takes on agreeing the time, the questions before the call and the history of every conversation, so recruiters run interviews instead of arranging them.

Time without the back-and-forth

Let a candidate pick a time while they are still interested

The candidate you want already has a job: they will not answer at two in the afternoon and they will not talk with colleagues in earshot. You write in the morning, the reply comes at eleven at night, the hour you offered is gone, twice over, until someone who answered faster takes them. The page shows your recruiters’ real free hours, evenings included, and the candidate books the call themselves, from their phone.

  • Screening, interview and final round, each with its own length
  • Booking open to candidates around the clock
  • One link for the job ad, the outreach email and LinkedIn
Fewer no-shows

Start the call with the answers, not with the questionnaire

The first ten minutes of a screening usually go on things the candidate could have written down: salary expectations, notice period, level of English, whether the office is an option at all. A short form sits on the page next to booking, so you have those answers before you dial. And a reminder the day before cuts the number of people who agreed a time and simply never came online.

  • A form before the call: expectations, notice period, languages
  • An automatic reminder to the candidate before the call
  • A schedule of its own per recruiter, with a buffer between calls
Your candidate base

Come back to a candidate when their role finally appears

The most valuable thing an agency owns is the people it has already spoken to. The candidate card holds every conversation: which role they came for, what they asked for, why it did not work out that time and what you made of them. Six months later a similar brief starts from people you know personally, not from a blank search.

  • History of conversations and roles for every candidate
  • Recruiter notes and salary expectations
  • Booking the next call in two clicks
Everything an interview booking needs

Less messaging about time. More conversations in the calendar.

The page answers about formats, how long each one takes and which hours are free, at any time, from any device.

Booking in two clicks

The candidate opens the link from the job ad, picks a free hour and confirms the call. No four rounds of email, no phoning them at work.

Hours that are genuinely free

Only the time a recruiter really gives to interviews is open. Client meetings, internal reviews and days off are never offered to candidates.

Fewer follow-up emails

The questions you ask at the start of every call sit in the form before it. Expectations and notice periods stop being a thread of their own.

Booking from a phone

The page works the same on a phone and on a laptop, so the candidate books straight from the job ad, on the way home.

The result in numbers

The candidate picks a slot and nobody has to chase them

Instead of a "when are you free?" exchange, the candidate sees the recruiter’s open windows and books one. A reminder the day before cuts the interviews nobody turns up to.

How to open online booking for interviews

Put the page together in an evening: recruiters, interview formats, the hours you take calls, and a link you can drop into a job ad. No separate website, no technical work.

Try for free
  1. Create the agency page

    Add the name, the fields you recruit for and your contacts: this is what a candidate gets instead of “let me know when you are free”.

  2. Describe the formats and the team

    A twenty-minute screening, a forty-five-minute interview, an hour for the final round, a paid HR consultation for a client. Add your recruiters and set who runs which conversation.

  3. Open the hours for interviews

    Set each recruiter’s schedule, a buffer between calls for notes, and the evening slots for candidates who are still working.

  4. Put the link in the job ad

    Add it to the posting, the outreach template and your LinkedIn profile. New bookings appear in the team calendar straight away.

can candidates book an interview slot from a link in our job ad

Jasmine

Bookly team

Yes. Put your Bookly page or its short link in the ad. Candidates open the Booking tab, see only the free times in your recruiters’ schedules and pick one themselves.

Yes. Each recruiter sets their own schedule, so you can open evening or lunchtime slots, the hours when a candidate can actually talk.

Yes. Every recruiter has their own schedule and their own list of formats, and the shared calendar shows who is interviewing when, so two calls never land on the same hour.

Each format has a length of its own, so a short screening and a long interview take exactly the room they need, with a buffer between them for notes.

Yes, a short form sits on the page next to booking: salary expectations, notice period, language level, working format. The answers collect in the form itself and you read them before you dial.

Yes, a reminder goes out automatically before the call. It noticeably cuts the number of people who agree a time and then never come online.

In the candidate card: every conversation with its date, the roles they came for and your notes. Only you and the people you give access to can see it: on the Team plan, up to three recruiters sign in to the CRM under their own accounts.

Yes. Create an account and set booking up with no card and no commitment.

Online booking for HR and recruitment agencies

Bookly is a Ukrainian online booking and CRM service for recruitment agencies: candidates pick a time for a screening call or an interview themselves, the evening included, and bookings land in the team’s shared calendar. Every conversation, role and note on each candidate stays in the CRM.

Recruiting runs on how fast you get a candidate onto a call. The person you want already has a job: they will not answer at two in the afternoon and they will not talk with colleagues in earshot. You write in the morning, the reply lands at eleven at night, the hour you offered has gone to someone else, and around it goes, until they are hired by a company that answered within the half hour. Multiply that thread by thirty candidates on one role and you can see where the team’s week goes.

A booking page removes the step. It shows the formats you run, a screening call, a full interview or a final round, with the length of each, and the hours your recruiters are genuinely free, evenings included. The candidate picks a time and gets a confirmation, and the booking lands in the agency’s shared calendar at once. A reminder before the call cuts the number of people who agreed a time and never came online, and every one of those hours is an hour nobody else will use.

The second thing a recruiter gets back is the start of the conversation. A short form on the page collects what the candidate can perfectly well write down in advance: salary expectations, notice period, language level, whether they would consider the office or a move. You have the answers before you dial, so the first ten minutes go on substance instead of formalities, and some candidates rule themselves out before they take an hour of anyone’s schedule.

The most valuable thing an agency accumulates is the people it has already spoken to. The CRM keeps the whole thread: when the conversation happened, which role the candidate came for, what they asked for, why it did not work out and what you noted about them. Six months later a similar brief does not start from zero. The page itself works as a single link for the job ad, the outreach template and your LinkedIn profile, so there is no separate website to build. Money for the paid formats, an HR consultation or a hiring-process audit, is kept in Finance: you mark the payment on the booking and enter anything sent in advance as a Deposit operation.
