Interview Scheduler
Find common interview times across timezones
What is Interview Scheduler?
The Interview Scheduler is a free online tool that finds time slots that work for everyone when an interview spans multiple time zones. You add each participant with their name, time zone, and available hours, and the tool calculates the windows where all of those availabilities overlap. It also draws a visual timeline so you can see each person's working hours side by side at a glance. You can pick the interview round — phone screen, technical, live coding, system design, behavioral, panel, hiring-manager, final, or HR culture-fit — and set a meeting duration from 15 minutes up to two hours, so the suggested slots match the length of the conversation you are planning. The time-zone list covers more than twenty-five major IANA zones across the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania, from Los Angeles, New York, and São Paulo to London, Paris, Cairo, Dubai, Riyadh, Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, Auckland, and UTC. Recruiters use it to coordinate panel interviews, and remote teams use it to book meetings across continents without endless back-and-forth emails. Everything runs in your browser, so the schedules you enter are never uploaded to a server.
How to use Interview Scheduler?
Finding a common time takes only a moment:
- 1 Choose the interview round and the meeting duration at the top — for example a 45-minute technical interview or a 60-minute panel — so the suggested slots fit the conversation you are planning.
- 2 Add each participant with their name, their time zone, and their working-hours window, for example 9 AM to 5 PM in their local time. Choose from presets ranging from an early 7 AM start to a 24-hour any-time window. Add at least two participants before you continue.
- 3 Repeat for everyone who must attend — the interviewer, the candidate, and any panel members — adding as many participants across different time zones as the interview requires.
- 4 Click Find Common Times. The tool converts every window to a shared reference and calculates the slots where all participants are available at the same moment, each labelled with the duration you chose.
- 5 Review the available time slots and the timezone visualization, which shows each person's hours on a single timeline, then pick a slot and schedule your interview.
Why use this tool?
Coordinating an interview across time zones is one of the most frustrating parts of hiring. A 3 PM slot for the interviewer might be the middle of the night for the candidate, and working that out by hand invites mistakes. The Interview Scheduler removes the guesswork by converting every participant to a common reference and showing only the overlapping windows, so no one is asked to join at an unreasonable hour. Because you choose the round type and the meeting length up front, the slots it suggests already account for whether you need a quick 15-minute phone screen or a 90-minute system-design session. The visual timeline makes conflicts obvious at a glance. The tool is completely free, needs no signup, and keeps every schedule in your browser, so participant details stay private while you find a time that genuinely works for the whole panel.
Examples
Add an interviewer in London, a candidate in New York, and a manager in Singapore, set a 60-minute panel round, then let the tool surface the narrow window where all three overlap.
Pick the phone-screen round and a 15- or 30-minute duration, then add a recruiter in Dubai and a candidate in Mumbai to find a quick slot that fits both mornings.
Choose the system-design round with a 90- or 120-minute duration so the suggested slots reserve enough overlapping time for a deep technical discussion.
Instead of trading messages to compare calendars, enter everyone once and read the common slots directly from the timezone visualization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Interview Scheduler free?
Yes. The tool is completely free, with no signup and no limit on how many participants or schedules you create.
How many participants can I add?
You need at least two participants, and you can add as many more as the interview requires, each with their own time zone and availability window.
Which time zones and durations are supported?
You can choose from more than twenty-five major IANA time zones spanning the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania, plus UTC, and set the meeting duration to 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes.
What are the interview round types for?
The round type — phone screen, technical, coding, system design, behavioral, panel, hiring manager, final, or HR — labels the meeting so the whole panel knows what to prepare for; the duration you pick is reflected on every suggested slot.
What if there is no common slot?
If the availability windows do not overlap, the tool tells you that no common slot was found. Widening one or more windows, or choosing the 24-hour any-time preset, usually reveals a workable time.
Does it handle different time zones automatically?
Yes. Each participant's hours are converted to a shared reference, so the slots it shows are correct for everyone regardless of where they are, including half-hour zones such as India Standard Time.
Are the schedules I enter kept private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser, so participant names, time zones, and availability are never uploaded or stored on a server.
