RunningHi Priya, you're through to interview. Pick any time that suits you:
Booking linkEvery message goes from your inbox, in your voice, on templates you approved once. A human signs off the wording; the agents handle the sending.
What do Cal and Echo do?
Cal is the scheduling agent: it syncs with Microsoft or Google and books interviews automatically on rules you set, across up to 6 interviewers on a panel. Echo is the comms bus: every outbound message from any agent goes through Echo, in your voice. It keeps every candidate informed by SMS and email, chases people before they go cold, and sends courteous disqualifications with reasoning.
The comms bus
Every message from every agent goes through Echo. One voice. Yours.
Scheduling invites, pipeline moves, offers and courteous disqualifications: every outbound message from any agent runs through Echo, on email, SMS, WhatsApp and phone, in the tone you approved once. Feedback flows the other way too, from candidates and hiring managers after every round. It is the connective tissue between every agent on the platform, and it never forgets to follow up.
Cal · Scheduling
How does Cal schedule interviews? Even with six people in the room.
Cal schedules interviews across up to 6 interviewers with zero manual coordination. Sync your calendar with Microsoft or Google, set your interview availability, and candidates are booked automatically on rules you set. Invite other interviewers to set their availability too, and the platform overlays every calendar to find the common free window. The hiring manager confirms the time and runs the room.
Availability and rules
Set your rules once, every booking follows them
Sync your calendar with Microsoft or Google, then define how scheduling works: interview length, buffer time before and after, how far ahead candidates can book, and the minimum notice you require. Candidates only ever see times that genuinely work for you.
- Two-way sync with Microsoft or Google calendars
- Interview duration, buffers, look-ahead and minimum notice
- Different rules per interview type
- Applied automatically to every booking
Echo · The comms bus
How does Echo keep candidates informed? Everyone hears back.
Echo is the single voice of the platform: whichever agent has something to say, the message goes out through Echo. Four agents. One voice. Yours. Echo notifies every candidate within 24 hours, so no one is ghosted. Candidates are chased before they go cold, by SMS or email, sent from your inbox in your voice. Candidates who are disqualified are notified automatically with reasoning based on the data captured, so hiring managers and recruiters spend their time on the best talent. Rejection wording is yours, approved once and reused.
Chased before they go cold
The moment a candidate stalls, Echo follows up by SMS or email, sent from your inbox in your voice. Interview invites that sit unopened, bookings never made, documents never returned: chased automatically, before the candidate loses interest.
A courteous no, with reasoning
Candidates who are disqualified are notified automatically, with reasoning drawn from the data captured through the process. Not a template ghosting. A clear, kind answer that protects your employer brand.
Your voice, approved once
The wording is yours. Approve the tone and templates once and Echo reuses them on every message, personalised with the candidate's name, role and stage. You stay in the room without writing a single follow-up.
Two-way feedback loops
Comms run both directions. Interview feedback is captured from candidates and hiring managers after every round, so scheduling, matching and messaging get sharper with each hire instead of resetting to zero.
Candidate experience, both sides
Candidates feel looked after. Your team does nothing extra.
Every interaction a candidate has with your company shapes their view of it. Cal and Echo make the experience fast, respectful and consistent at any volume, and the same automation removes the chasing, the reminders and the awkward rejection emails from your team's day.
What the candidate experiences
Application received
A personalised acknowledgement in minutes, not a generic auto-reply. The candidate knows their application is being read.
Invited to interview
Cal sends the booking link the moment they pass. The candidate picks a slot from live availability, on their own schedule.
Interview complete
Confirmation the round was received and is under review, with a timeline attached.
Waiting on a decision
If the review window slips, Echo sends a status update. Kept warm, not forgotten.
Outcome decided
Successful and unsuccessful candidates both hear back, within 24 hours, with reasoning where it helps. No black holes.
What your team gets back
Zero scheduling admin
No reply-all chains, no double-bookings, no chasing. Bookings land in your calendar and the platform at the same moment.
An employer brand that compounds
Consistent, respectful comms mean better word of mouth, better reviews and better referrals, including from the people you did not hire.
Nothing falls through the cracks
Outstanding invites, unbooked links and pending outcomes stay visible until they are resolved. Echo chases so your recruiters do not have to.
Time back for the judgement calls
Hiring managers and recruiters spend their hours on the best talent, or on landing more clients, not on the follow-up queue.
People decide
The conversation stays with a person, not an autoresponder
Cal books the interviews and Echo keeps every candidate informed, but your team sees every thread and can step into any of them. The AI handles the logistics. A human always decides.
- Every message visible to your team, in one place
- Your recruiter can step into any conversation at any time
- No offer, rejection or promise goes out without a person behind it
