Calendly

Really great program!

I've had to do hiring sessions many times before through indeed.com Normally I would cold call all potential candidates to schedule interviews.

Now I just mass send a generic template with a calendly link. I saved myself several hours of time

It's free too!

Good if it works ... a lot of businesses and likely more and more block the JavaScript it requires. They may make exception if they use it. However, when I tried to use it and send it to businesses, I had a fair amount of people unable to open the page, and I was able to verify with them and their IT dept, it was the JS. They had no plans on opening it up either unless for something major, if anything, more businesses were looking to lockdown JS further.

On consumer side I love it. On the other side, the people that could use it, mixed reaction. Some did like it, but I did notice a drop in responses.

There are others that do not use JavaScript that are cheaper, open source, and have almost everything Calendly does. Honestly, I would think it was a fork of an open source project that is very similar if that was not a violation of the GNU license. Other ones cannot get as granular, but you do find that the granularity is not quite as tidy as it appears at first glance.

If you are sending this off to customers, especially if they clean up some JS items, it is a no-brainer. For individual user, sending to business, it is no go, too much risk of page not loading and person may simply just never respond.

Very intuitive, easy to configure and use, recommended!!!

So with my day I'm running around so much it gets hectic keeping track of meetings. So on a peer's recommendation I went with Calendly. At first I was skeptical but it works really well. I like that I can send a unique URL for each type of meeting I have. So I can send someone a URL for a 1 hour meeting, or 30 min, it's really up to me but that way they can schedule that hour and it never interferes or otherwise conflicts with other meetings I have.

It interacts well with Google Calenders, in fact the compatibility with it makes me wonder why Google Calenders is listed as an alternative!

I won't say this is for everyone as some people will have great organizational tools; still I find that for someone like me where my meetings and tasks can escape me sometimes, this app works well to give me, my peers, and my clients a great idea of my schedule.
