Updated on Oct 12, 2026
A session is a block of time when you hold interviews. It's split into slots that candidates book on WhatsApp.
Where to find it: Home → Create new session. Also from Sessions overview → Create new session or the + button at the bottom right.
Before you start
- You need at least one active position assigned to you.
- Connect your calendar so times when you're busy aren't offered. See Connect your calendar and change the language.

Individual or Group
- Individual: each slot is split into micro-slots of the length you chose. Each candidate books their own time.
- Group: several candidates at the same interview. See Group sessions of up to 250 candidates.
Good to know
- Your company decides how far in advance candidates can book. A session that's too close may show as Not bookable: see Common issues for interview managers.
- Candidates who already booked get the new details if you edit the session.
- If the new session overlaps with another one, the app asks you to confirm and shows you which session overlaps.
Common issues
I can't choose the location. Choose the position first: Interview location shows the locations of that position that are assigned to you.
"Position paused" or "no campaign linked" error. The position is suspended or not assigned to you. Check in Criteria and demand or ask your HR contact.
