What Hire reads

Hire only reads your calendar. It never creates, changes or deletes an event, so Google asks only for permission to see your calendars. Events sync every 15 minutes. Press R on Meetings to sync now.

​
Guests on People we found

A guest Hire doesn’t have shows their People we found card on the meeting: Suggested with the card’s own buttons (Add as Contact or Add as Candidate, and Skip), Added, or Skipped, with a link to People we found. A guest the people run hasn’t reached yet has Suggest, which makes their card now. When the guest looks like someone already in Hire, the card offers Add this email to them, Create a new person or Skip, as on People we found. Hire treats a person on Gmail, your calendar and Echo as one person. It matches an email address first. Then it asks Echo whether an address Hire already has belongs to the Echo person, which Echo answers by its private email fingerprint, so Hire only learns about addresses it already holds. Then it reads the guests of that person’s own Echo meetings (all your Echo-recorded meetings until Echo lists them), and last their name with their company’s domain. A match by name alone is only ever a card that asks.

​
More than one account

Select Add another account under your connected accounts. Check for conflicts picks the calendars that block your availability.
An Owner or Admin can turn on Create and edit meetings in Hire in Settings › General. Then New meeting (C) and Schedule meeting on any record save a Draft in Hire. Hire doesn’t send invites. Create the event in Google Calendar or Outlook, and Hire reads it on the next sync.

​
If something looks wrong

  • Wrong account. Select Switch account. The old one stays until the new one connects.
  • “Already connected for your agency.” A colleague connected that account here. Each account connects once per agency.
  • An event has no type. It shows grey. Open it and save its outcome.
  • Connecting failed. Select Connect again. Still failing? Tell Skillflo the time it happened.
