Authorize or Revoke Calendar Access

To use the interview scheduling functionality in Recruiting, you must first authorize access to your email account so that Dayforce can retrieve free/busy calendar information for the users and meeting rooms configured for your organization.

When you click an option in the Schedule Interview drop-down list for a candidate, Dayforce checks whether you've authorized your calendar yet, and if you haven't, displays a dialog box in which you can begin the authorization process.

You are only required to authorize your calendar once. After you complete the authorization, Dayforce opens the Schedule Interview dialog box rather than the authorization dialog box when you click an option in the Schedule Interview drop-down list. See Schedule Candidate Interviews.

To authorize your calendar:

  1. Go to Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
  2. Open a job requisition.
  3. In the Candidates tab, do one of the following:
    • Select a candidate and then click Schedule Interview > Candidate Self-Scheduling or Schedule Interview > Manual Scheduling in the toolstrip.
    • Click a candidate’s name to open their profile, and then click Schedule Interview > Candidate Self-Scheduling or Schedule Interview > Manual Scheduling in the left-side panel.
  4. If you haven't authorized your calendar yet, Dayforce displays a dialog box in which you can confirm that you want to authorize Dayforce to access your calendar.
  5. Click OK in the dialog box. A browser window opens in which you can complete the authorization.

After you authorize your calendar, Dayforce adds the Revoke Calendar Access option to the Schedule Interview drop-down list. If you want to revoke calendar access for your account, you can do so at any time by clicking this button in the drop-down list and then clicking OK in the confirmation dialog box that's displayed. If you revoke calendar access, you will no longer be able to schedule or cancel interviews for candidates, but you can still view details for interviews that have already been scheduled.

Note: Administrators can also revoke calendar access for employees at any time from the Interview Management feature. See Interview Management.
