Understanding the Microsoft Outlook integration

Scheduling interviews can be even easier—Beeline Enterprise offers a seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook 365. As an Interview Coordinator, you can instantly view real-time suggested interview times that fit the attendees’ schedules. Real-time API calls automatically check attendees’ availability, so proposed interview times align with attendees’ schedules.

Schedule recommendations are based only on the availability of client attendees as reflected in their calendars. The availability of supplier attendees is not considered.

Here are the criteria used to generate the top five best schedule recommendations.

1. Availability of all client attendees 2, 3, or 4 weeks out from the date you specify when scheduling an interview.
2. Availability of most client attendees 2, 3, or 4 weeks out from the date you specify when scheduling an interview.

When a schedule recommendation can’t be found based on the preceding criteria, you'll see a message prompting you to manually add a timeslot.

Preparing for your Microsoft Outlook integration

Using Beeline’s Microsoft Outlook integration with Interview Manager requires some preparation on your part and a Service Request ticket. In addition, you must be using Outlook with Microsoft Cloud.

Your system administrator must complete these tasks so they can provide Beeline with the appropriate credentials.
