How it works

Set up campus workflows once, then let Cal.com run the process

Connect calendars and define event types

Sync team calendars, create event types for info sessions, coffee chats, and interviews, set capacity and buffers, and map recruitment stages to automate movement from registration to interview.

02

Build workflows for reminders and routing

Add rules to send timely email, SMS, or WhatsApp reminders, route students by major or grad year, and notify interviewers in Slack so every step happens on time.

03

Track, measure, and optimize

Use analytics to track attendance, no-shows, and interviewer load, integrate ATS updates, and iterate your intern recruiting plan with data across universities and seasons.

Hi, this is a reminder that your college campus recruiting meeting with Alex is in 30 mins

…
01

Higher show rates at university events

Send targeted reminders that fit student schedules and reduce friction before university recruiting events. Nudge registrants to confirm, share venue details and virtual links, and handle waitlists automatically. Cal.com workflows adapt to different campuses, time zones, and formats, so invites and updates always arrive at the right moment. Clear confirmations, calendar holds, and day of reminders improve attendance, lower no-shows, and keep sessions full. Your team gets predictable turnout and better data to plan the next event.

Shorter time to schedule interviews

Eliminate back and forth by letting students pick times that match recruiter and interviewer availability. Round robin rules fill calendars without conflicts, while buffers protect transition time. Candidates move from event check-in to interview signups in minutes, accelerating the college hiring process. Coordinators save hours per week, interviewers avoid double booking, and hiring managers see faster funnel movement from screen to offer. Speed matters when competing for top students, and automation ensures no strong candidate waits for next steps.

  • Thrilled with this scheduling app—it's a game-changer. The intuitive interface and advanced features streamline my time management. The standout, however, is the incredible support team—swift, expert responses to every query. A perfect combo for seamless scheduling and top-notch customer service. P.s. Way better than Calendly

  • I just migrated from calendly to cal.com I'm liking it so far. I wasn't particularly displeased with calendly. It's fine. But I like that cal is OSS and my sub to calendly was coming up for renewal so I thought I'd check it out. Looks good.
    Kent C. Dodds 🌌@kentcdodds na X
  • 2 days of using @calcom is enough to never look back at calendly
    Anuvesh Singh@singh_anuvesh na X
  • Without a doubt the best calendar/scheduling application I have ever used. It has all of the advanced features I need while also being insanely intuitive and straightforward for both end-users and booking recipients. Love it!!
    davidvkimballna Trustpilot
  • (finally) made the move to @calcom after I couldn't find how to edit events in the calendly dashboard and I must say - dash is 10/10 Bravo @peer_rich and team (I should have moved over years ago!) OSS fam

  • This platform's open-source nature and flexible licensing are a developer's dream. Self-hosting and white-labeling empower personalization and seamless integration.
    Ahmed Elnaggarna Product Hunt
  • for the love of me, why do people still use Calendly? Just today I have seen products reference Calendly while they know of @calcom It's a no brainer for me to use , their brand is amazing, cool team + they even have more compelling features 🤷
    Rotimi Best@rotimi_best na X
  • Amazing. I've been sharing it with everyone I know. It's helped me create more events spontaneously, because of how smooth it is compared to Calendly and Harmonizely.
    Benna Product Hunt
  • Very easy to set up and start. Connected with my Google calendar without any problem. Connecting with Microsoft gives me an error. But other than that the user interface is very good.
    Pankaj Dixitna Product Hunt
  • Just gave it a go and it's definitely the easiest meeting I've ever scheduled! No context switching, no distractions, and works even better on mobile too.
