Use case
Share interview availability with recruiters as plain text
People search for: share availability for job interview
When a recruiter asks "what times work for a call this week?", they usually want a short list in the email thread — not a link to your scheduling page. A booking link can read as presumptuous when you are the candidate.
ShareAvailability reads your Google Calendar and turns open slots into plain text you paste into the reply. The recruiter picks a time and writes back. Nothing auto-books, and they never leave the inbox.
Example reply to a recruiter
Example only — sample times, not live calendar data.
Hi Jordan — thanks for reaching out. Happy to chat this week. Here is my upcoming availability (EST): Mon (9/29): 10am-12pm, 2-4pm Tue (9/30): 9-11am, 1-3pm Wed (10/1): 11am-1pm Happy to adjust if none of these work. Sent with shareavailability.com/s
Practical tips
- 1
Offer a tight window
Three to five business days is usually enough. Flooding a recruiter with two weeks of half-hour slots slows them down.
- 2
Match their timezone when you can
If the role is remote across regions, generate the list in their timezone so they do not have to convert.
- 3
Keep the tone conversational
Lead with a sentence, then paste the list. The text should feel like part of the email, not an attachment.
Frequently asked questions
Should I send a Calendly link to a recruiter?
Often no. Many recruiters prefer available times in the email so they can coordinate with hiring managers. Plain text keeps control of the thread and avoids asking them to use your booking page.
How do I share interview availability from Google Calendar?
Sign in to ShareAvailability with Google, pick the days you want to offer, generate the text, and paste it into your reply. The tool only needs read-only calendar access.
Does the recruiter need an account?
No. They receive ordinary text in your email or LinkedIn message and reply with a time that works.
