Cancel Candidate Interviews

Before You Begin: You must have authorized your calendar to use this feature.

You can cancel a candidate's interview at any time.

Role feature access: Recruiting > Recruiting > Actions > Schedule Interview

To cancel a candidate's interview:

  1. Go to the Candidates tab for the job requisition.
  2. Go to the candidate's name.
  3. In the Improved Recruiter Experience, look in the Interview Scheduled column for a link. In the Classic Recruiter Experience, look for the scheduled interview icon () next to the candidate's name. Click either of these to open a dialog box with the interview details.
  4. Click the Cancel Interview link in this dialog box.

When you click Cancel Interview, Dayforce displays a confirmation dialog box in which you can confirm that you want to cancel the interview. When you click OK, the following occurs:

  • The interview details are removed from the interview dialog box.
  • The scheduled interview icon is removed from their record (unless they have other scheduled interviews).
  • The cancellation is recorded in the Activity tab for the job requisition.
  • A cancellation email is sent to the candidate and the interviewers to inform them of the cancellation.
