Microsoft-owned LinkedIn has introduced a new tool on its platform, called ‘Scheduler’ which will ease out the process to hire recruiters and candidates as well as avoid confusions. The new feature will help users automate initial interview scheduling by syncing their calendar to LinkedIn Recruiter, and then share their calendar availability with candidates directly in their InMails.

Peter Rigano, Senior Product Manager at LinkedIn said in a statement, “Our goal is to help you spend less time on the back-and-forth-and a lot more time delighting, advising, and helping candidates make the decision to join your company.” He added, “LinkedIn ‘Scheduler’ is just the latest way that we’re working to make recruiters more productive, powerful, and personal”.

The aim of ‘Scheduler’ is to save time spent on scheduling a meeting and help recruiters focus their energies on hiring strategically and on-boarding the best candidate.

Here’s how it works:

You sync your calendar so LinkedIn Recruiter has a real-time view of your availability (Google and Office 365 calendars only, with more coming soon).

You set your scheduling preferences: how long you want candidate meetings to last (15 min, 30 min, etc.) and how long you’d like to share your availability.

You add a calendar availability link to your InMail outreach —whether you send InMails to candidates’ one-by-one or en masse.

Recently, the professional networking platform also rolled out a feature called ‘Career Advice’ in India. This new feature will help connect members across the LinkedIn network with one another for mentorship opportunities.

According to a survey conducted by LinkedIn, youth in the age group 25-33 are experiencing professional crisis in steering their careers in the right direction. More than 70 percent of professionals in their early 20s and 30s say they are keen on seeking advice on their next career move but do not know where to go for answers.

The new feature will allow members to lean in on experienced individuals on the network and get guidance on any topic or even inquire about what the next job role should be.
