# Interviews and scorecards

Good interviews need two things: painless scheduling and structured evaluation. Qosel handles both.

## Connect your tools

One-time setup, per organization:

* **Calendars** — connect your calendar provider under **Hiring → Settings → Calendars** so availability and invites sync automatically.
* **Video conferencing** — connect your meeting tool under **Hiring → Settings → Video conferencing** so interviews come with a meeting link attached.

## Schedule an interview

Interviews are scheduled from the candidate's application — pick the interviewers, a time, and a location or video link. Everyone gets a calendar invite; reschedules propagate automatically. The `Interview scheduled` and `Interview completed` events can also fire [automations](/get-started/automate-your-workflows) — like sending the candidate a prep email.

## Scorecard templates

Define scorecard templates under **Hiring → Settings → Scorecard templates** — the competencies to assess, the questions to ask, and the rating scale. Attach the right template to each interview so every interviewer evaluates against the same criteria.

Structured scorecards are the single biggest upgrade most teams make. Free-text "thumbs up" feedback feels fast but is hard to compare and easy to bias. Templates fix both.

## Compare candidates

Submitted scorecards appear on the candidate profile, and the **evaluation matrix** aggregates ratings across interviewers and candidates — so your debrief starts from evidence, not memory.
