How recruiters can reduce candidate interview no-shows
Candidates are usually running several processes at once, so an interview booked a week ago is easy to forget — or quietly abandon. Every no-show burns an interviewer's hour.
A personal confirmation the day before, from a real person, plus a low-friction "let me know if you need to move it," recovers a surprising number:
Hi [name] — looking forward to your interview with [interviewer] tomorrow at [time]. Confirming you're all set? If something's come up, just reply and we'll find a better time.
The "reply to reschedule" line matters — you'd rather move it than lose it. Rather than remember to do this every time, CalConfirm sends the reminder automatically — for any meeting on your Google Calendar, a personal note goes to your guests 24 hours ahead, from your own Gmail.
