For recruiters and hiring teams
Interview scheduling software without the monthly per-seat bill
Route candidates across your panel with round-robin and collective scheduling, generate a video link per interview, and pay once per license instead of every month per recruiter.
Route interviews without the back-and-forth
Round-robin distributes candidates evenly across your interviewers, while collective scheduling finds a time that works for an entire panel and fans the invite out to every co-host. Two-way Google and Outlook sync reads each interviewer's real availability across calendars, so a candidate only ever sees slots that genuinely work and double-booking simply does not happen.
Pay once, not every month per recruiter
Most interview schedulers bill per recruiter per month, and the cost repeats forever. CalenQ is a one-time $39 per lifetime license with no monthly fees, so the spend stops instead of compounding as your hiring calendar fills. Each booking auto-generates a Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams link, with the Teams link created when the host has connected an Outlook calendar.
Wire it into your careers page and tools
Drop the booking widget straight onto a careers page as an inline embed, popup, or floating badge with a copy-paste snippet, and connect your existing tooling through the public REST API and signed webhooks so confirmed interviews flow into the rest of your process. CalenQ handles the scheduling, routing and API layer; it does not replace your applicant tracking system.
Questions, answered
Hiring teams, FAQ
Routing, pricing and how it connects to your stack.
Does CalenQ support round-robin interview scheduling?
Yes. It offers round-robin to distribute candidates evenly and collective scheduling to align a full interview panel, with the invite fanned out to every co-host.
Is it priced per recruiter per month?
No. There is no monthly per-seat subscription. Each recruiter's lifetime license is a one-time $39, so the cost never recurs, and the meter stops instead of running every month the way per-seat schedulers do.
Does it create video links automatically?
Yes. Each interview auto-generates a Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams link. The Teams link is generated when the host has connected an Outlook calendar.
Can I embed it or connect it to other tools?
Yes. There is a full embed suite (inline widget, popup, and floating badge) you add with a snippet, plus a public REST API and signed webhooks.
Does it integrate with my ATS?
CalenQ covers the scheduling, routing and API layer rather than acting as an ATS connector. You can wire confirmed interviews into your process through the API and webhooks.
