In the Scheduling Settings page, you can manage when and how applicants can schedule time with you through Workstream:

Settings

Time Zone

  • What it does: Applies your time zone to your calendar events.

Available Date Range

  • What it does: Sets how many days into the future applicants can see and schedule meetings.

  • Set this up: Enter a number of Days from 1 to 14 (the default is 14). Applicants will only see open time slots within this range.

Minimum Scheduling Notice
