Automated Interview Scheduling via WhatsApp

Hirin.ai simplifies interview scheduling by using Zena (AI Agent) on WhatsApp—eliminating the need for manual coordination between recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates.

Interviews are scheduled automatically based on availability shared over WhatsApp.

Automated Interview Scheduling via WhatsApp (Zena – AI Agent)

Zena connects with both the Hiring Manager and the candidate on WhatsApp to:

• Collect availability 
• Identify matching time slots 
• Schedule interviews automatically 

No back-and-forth coordination required

How it works for Hiring Managers:

• Zena initiates a WhatsApp conversation with the Hiring Manager.
• Availability for interviews is collected directly via WhatsApp.
• The interview is scheduled automatically based on shared availability.
• No manual coordination with recruiters is required.

Saves time and removes the need for manual coordination

Prerequisite:

Important Notes:

• If the mobile number is not available in User Management, WhatsApp-based scheduling will not be initiated.
• Hiring Managers are expected to respond to Zena’s WhatsApp messages in a timely manner to avoid scheduling delays.

Interview Type Visibility (In-Person Interviews)

For interviews scheduled as In-Person, the interview communication will include venue details.

• To add or update the interview venue/address in the system, please contact the support team to configure it from the backend
• When an interview is marked as In-Person, the venue/address details are shared in interview notifications.
• This ensures Hiring Managers are aware of the interview location in advance

How it works for candidates

Candidates may receive interview scheduling messages directly on WhatsApp from Zena (AI Agent).

What candidates can expect:

• WhatsApp messages requesting interview availability.
• Automatic confirmation once availability is shared.
• No need to coordinate manually with recruiters.

Duplicate Application Prevention

To ensure a smooth and focused hiring experience:

• Candidates cannot apply for a new job if they already have an active application in another hiring process.
• This prevents duplicate applications from the Career Page.
• Candidates can continue with their existing application journey without confusion.

In-Person Interview Details

For interviews scheduled as In-Person:

• Candidates will receive the interview venue/address in the interview communication.
• This ensures clarity on the interview location and reduces last-minute confusion.

Ensures a smooth and quick scheduling experience.
