GoodTime Interview Scheduling Tool Review

7 min read

GoodTime is an interview scheduling platform that uses AI to eliminate the back-and-forth coordination between recruiters, candidates, and interviewers. It integrates with your existing ATS to automate one of the most time-consuming parts of hiring.

What is GoodTime?

GoodTime (formerly GoodTime Hire) is an intelligent scheduling platform, not a full ATS. It sits on top of your ATS and handles everything related to interview coordination: availability collection, calendar sync, meeting room booking, and rescheduling. It's designed for teams that want scheduling to happen automatically rather than requiring manual coordination.

What GoodTime does well

Automated scheduling. GoodTime syncs with interviewers' calendars and presents candidates with available time slots. Once a candidate selects, the system books the meeting, sends calendar invitations, and includes video conferencing links. No recruiter needs to touch the process.

Panel coordination. For multi-interviewer panels, GoodTime finds overlapping availability across all participants. It handles timezone differences automatically — a significant advantage for distributed teams.

Rescheduling and cancellations. When an interviewer cancels, GoodTime reshuffles the schedule and notifies all participants. This happens automatically without recruiter intervention.

Interviewer preference management. Interviewers can set their available hours, blackout periods, and meeting buffer times. The system respects these preferences when generating slots.

ATS integration. GoodTime integrates with Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, and other major ATS platforms. Interview stages in your ATS trigger scheduling workflows in GoodTime.

Pricing overview

GoodTime pricing is typically quoted per-recruiter or per-interview depending on the plan. Most implementations range from approximately $250-$500/month for small teams. Custom pricing for larger organizations is available.

What to consider

It's a scheduling tool, not an ATS. GoodTime handles one specific function. You need an existing ATS to manage candidates, pipelines, and offers. It adds value through automation but doesn't replace your recruiting stack.

Setup requires configuration. Mapping interview stages, interviewer availability, and notification preferences takes initial setup. Once configured, the system runs with minimal maintenance.

Works best for mid-to-high volume. Teams scheduling fewer than 10 interviews per week may not see significant time savings. The automation value increases with interview volume.

How GoodTime compares

Tool Best for Type
GoodTime Automated panel scheduling AI scheduling layer
Calendly for Work Simple meeting booking Calendar link tool
Clockwise Team calendar optimization Calendar management
Clara Labs Concierge scheduling Human + AI assistant

GoodTime is more specialized than Calendly — it's built for the recruiting workflow specifically rather than general meeting scheduling.

Is GoodTime right for your team?

GoodTime makes sense if your team conducts 20+ interviews per week and recruiters spend significant time on scheduling coordination. Companies with distributed teams across time zones benefit most. If your interview volume is low or your process is straightforward, a simpler scheduling link may be sufficient.
