Recruiters: share interview slots with candidates as text
Candidates already juggle several processes. A booking link can work, but many still prefer a short list of times in the email so they can answer without leaving the thread — especially when a recruiter is coordinating on behalf of a busy hiring manager.
Generate from the calendar that holds the interviewer's real conflicts (or yours, if you are the gatekeeper), then paste into the candidate reply. You stay in control of tone and follow-up.

Hi Priya — excited to move to the hiring-manager screen. Here are times that work on our side (EST): Tue (9/30): 10am-12pm, 2-4pm Wed (10/1): 9-11am, 1-3pm Thu (10/2): 11am-1pm 45 minutes on Google Meet. Reply with what fits and I'll send the invite.

Practical tips
- 1
Generate from the interviewer's calendar when shared
If the hiring manager shares a calendar with you, include it so you do not offer times they blocked for deep work.
- 2
State length and format up front
"45 minutes on Meet" next to the list reduces a second email asking logistics.
- 3
Keep ATS notes separate
ShareAvailability only produces text. Log the booked time in your ATS the same way you do today.
Frequently asked questions
Can candidates self-book without emailing back?
Not with this tool. They reply with a time. For high-volume self-serve screens, a booking page may still be better.
Does this integrate with Greenhouse or Lever?
No. You copy the availability text into email or LinkedIn; your ATS workflow is unchanged.
What if the panel has three interviewers?
ShareAvailability shows one person's free times. Collect each interviewer's list or use a shared calendar that already reflects panel holds.
