You can set and change your interview for Leafr projects in 2 ways on Leafr: with your availability specifically for projects you apply to, and your regular interview availability (linked to your profile, this will show as availability on all projects you apply to).
Let's take them one by one.
Interview availability when you apply to projects
Selecting client interview time slots
When you apply to projects, you'll need to select your availability for the interview slots the client has chosen.
You'll see a grid of available dates and time slots the bottom of the application page or modal.
This sets your availability for the project, with the aim of showing the client the best times to interview you.
The client will also see your regular interview times alongside your selected times when they click on your application.
Pro Tip: Pick as many times as possible, so clients find it easier to schedule with you.
Pro Tip 2: Double-check you are available for your selected times before submitting your application!
Changing your interview times after you've applied
Want to update your interview times? You can do this by:
Navigating to the Application tab in your project details
Look for the Interview section at the top of the page, which contains your Interview Availability.
Click 'Edit Availability' and enter new times, and confirm
Proposing a new time for interviews
Pro tip: we only recommend doing this in cases of last resort. It causes hassle for clients, and if they already have other interviewees they may choose not to reschedule with you.
However, if you can no longer make an interview after it has been scheduled, go to the Application tab and Interview section, and click Propose new time.
A dialog will open allowing you to:
Select alternative dates
Choose multiple time slots
Click Confirm to send your proposed times to the client
The client will see these (along with your regular times), and will be encouraged to pick one of them for a new slot
You'll get a new invite based on what the client picks
Regular Availability
Setting Regular Availability When You Join Leafr
On your Create Profile page when you join Leafr, you'll be prompted to set rolling, or regular interview times (for example, Mondays 3-4pm GMT). These are shown to every client on every project you apply to.
Pro tip: Only set regular interview times for slots when you know you'll be free for a long time. You can always change these later.
Here's how:
On the Create Profile page, scroll to the bottom, choose your timezone, then choose the regular days and times.
If your schedule varies, use the "I don't want to set availability" option
But remember: wider availability makes you more bookable for interviews!
Changing regular interview times
To do this, simply go to your profile page, and follow the instructions for setting your regular interview availability.
Clients will see this as part of each application you send, so make sure it's accurate.
