Your interviews live in the ATS, your availability lives in Outlook
Most recruiting teams run on Microsoft 365. The pipeline sits in your ATS, but every interviewer's real availability sits in Outlook.
So you bridge the two by hand. You open three calendars in another tab, propose a time, find out someone was already booked, and the slot you finally land never makes it back onto the candidate record.
Connecting Outlook Calendar to your applicant tracking system closes that gap. Booking happens against live Outlook availability, and the interview is logged the moment it is set.
What connecting Outlook Calendar to 100Hires gives you
100Hires connects to Outlook Calendar for Microsoft 365, so availability checks, calendar invites, and interview sync all happen inside the candidate record. No separate booking tool and no manual loop back into the ATS.
It is the same approach we take to recruitment automation across the pipeline. Set the interview once and 100Hires handles the invite, the sync, and the timeline entry.
Works with Outlook Calendar for Microsoft 365 and Outlook email out of the box. See all integrations.
Let candidates book straight into Outlook
Share a self-scheduling link and the candidate picks from the open times your team has in Microsoft 365. The calendar invite goes out to everyone and the interview syncs both ways.
It lands on the candidate record in the same step, so there is no copy-paste back into the ATS afterward. The links work like Calendly, except they live inside 100Hires next to the rest of your pipeline.
100Hires vs bolting a scheduler onto a typical ATS
A typical ATS can connect to Outlook, but the useful parts often need an extra tool or a higher plan. 100Hires keeps availability, self-scheduling, and sync on one connection, with the full ATS underneath.
You can attach an evaluation form to any interview at the scheduling step, so panelists know what to score before the call starts. It is part of how 100Hires handles interview scheduling end to end.
