Operalytix Recruiting Interview Scheduling Bot coordinates panel interviews from a candidate’s availability message. It reads interview-loop structures from Lever, Greenhouse, or Workday, checks interviewer calendars with preparation buffers and time-zone settings, and sends three proposed slot sets by SMS or email. A candidate can choose one set and book all rounds at once. The bot can reserve rooms through Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Robin, or Envoy, order lunch through DoorDash for Business or Sharebite, and provide visitor-pass or parking information. It can send interview-preparation packets to panelists 24 hours before an interview. If an interviewer drops out, it can suggest a backup, rebook the round, update the day’s schedule, and notify the candidate. Operalytix offers a free scheduling call and a pilot without a card. Pricing is paid and quoted in writing within two business days after an architecture review.
