Your team already schedules on Cal.com or Calendly. Yardstick treats that as the right answer instead of a problem: connect the account you already have, and interview scheduling runs through it from inside your hiring pipeline.
Either scheduling tool works out of the box. Connect the Cal.com or Calendly account your team already uses, and candidates book real availability from inside the hiring pipeline. There is no second scheduling system to roll out and no availability to maintain in two places.
Every booking comes back into Yardstick attached to the right candidate, the right role, and the right interview in the loop. Your pipeline shows who is scheduled, for what, and with whom, without anyone copying calendar entries into the ATS by hand. And the interview each booking creates flows straight into the guide and scorecard for the role.
When a candidate reaches an interview stage, they get a self-schedule link that carries your interviewer's live availability from Cal.com or Calendly. The candidate picks a time that actually works, without a coordinator playing email tennis across time zones.
When a candidate cancels or rebooks through their link, the interview record updates to match, and the rebooking does not create a duplicate: one interview, one current time, everywhere anyone looks.
A 2pm interview is only 2pm somewhere. The candidate sees their local time when they book and when they are reminded, the interviewer sees theirs, and the hiring manager scanning the pipeline sees theirs. Nobody does timezone arithmetic.
Calendar integrations fail quietly: a token expires, and bookings stop syncing until someone notices interviews going missing. Yardstick detects when the connection to your Cal.com or Calendly account breaks and prompts you to reconnect, so a quiet failure gets noticed right away instead of two weeks later.
A booked slot is the least interesting part of an interview. In Yardstick, scheduling is one step in an interview-led workflow: the interview guide for the role is designed with AI before anyone is scheduled, so by the time the candidate books, the interviewer’s questions, focus areas, and scorecard anchors already exist. The built-in prep interview kits agent prepares each interviewer’s kit ahead of next week’s sessions, with the candidate context, questions, scorecard anchors, and logistics in one place; it reads the schedule, it never changes it. Interviewers open their kit from a magic link, so the whole panel interviews without paid seats.
Your own agent can see the same schedule. Your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex) runs the yardstick CLI, or a general assistant connects over MCP, so scheduling state is available where you already work: which candidates have booked, which interviews are coming up, who has not picked a slot yet. Agents prepare and draft; humans approve candidate-facing actions.
The result is fewer dropped handoffs between the calendar and the interview itself, and a loop that keeps moving: the candidate books, the interviewer walks in prepared, and the scorecard is waiting when the conversation ends. Connect the account you already use, and your next loop runs end to end. Your first 3 Jobs are free.
Yes. Connect your existing Calendly account and Yardstick runs interview scheduling through it: candidates book from self-schedule links backed by your interviewers' real Calendly availability, and bookings, cancellations, and reschedules stay in sync with the candidate's record.
Yes. Cal.com and Calendly are both supported out of the box, and either connects the same way: your account, your availability, with interviews flowing into the hiring pipeline.
Yes. Candidates at an interview stage get a self-schedule link for that interview and pick from the interviewer's live availability. The booking attaches to the candidate's record automatically.
The change is handled once. The interview record updates to the new time and the rebooking does not create a duplicate: one interview, one current time, in the calendar and in Yardstick.
Yes. Every viewer sees interview times in their own timezone: the candidate when booking and in reminders, the interviewer, and anyone reviewing the pipeline.
No. Each interviewer opens their interview kit from a magic link, with the schedule, candidate context, questions, and scorecard anchors included. There are no extra seats to buy for the panel.
