Overview / Value

The updated Queuing experience in the GoodTime Chrome Extension allows recruiting teams to fully define interview structure, topics, interviewers, and scheduling request information directly within their ATS. Instead of jumping between your ATS and the GoodTime dashboard, you can now set up interview details “upstream” while queuing —saving time, reducing context switching, and ensuring that coordinators receive a complete, well-structured request before scheduling begins.

This enhancement builds on previous autofill improvements and brings the powerful interview-setup capabilities of the GoodTime dashboard directly into the Chrome extension workflow.

🎥 Please see the video below for a short overview of this feature in use:

1. Full Interview Plan Editor in the Extension

You can now configure the interview plan at the same moment you queue a candidate:

Set the interview topic, add one or multiple interviewers, define duration, specify the interview order, use tags to structure the interview flow, and populate event titles using selected interview templates. In the Queue editor, Topic is the recruiter-facing label for the planned event; it is separate from the calendar Event Title. Configure the calendar title separately on the interview event or selected template. This mirrors the dashboard’s interview plan capabilities, now available without leaving your ATS.

2. Improved Scheduling Request Form

Your scheduling request form is surfaced directly in the extension—pre-filled with your previous answers but fully editable: 

Update competencies Note communication style Adjust physical requirements Add any additional recruiter notes. GoodTime automatically pulls round-up details and other structured data, making your request clear and easy for coordinators to action.

3. Better Notes in the Dashboard

Once queued, the dashboard displays:

A clearly formatted Interview Plan Note, including titles, topics, interviewers, and durations All Scheduling Request Form responses Automatically applied interview template details

This ensures coordinators have the full context they need at a glance.

How to Use It:

Step 1 — Open the Candidate in Your ATS

• With the Chrome extension installed and active, open a candidate profile.

• The extension can load previous queuing data for the same job, stage, and user.

• If you make a one-off Interview Plan change while queuing, the changed plan may become the most recently remembered setup. There is no confirmed one-candidate-only override that guarantees the change will not affect the next candidate. Review the next candidate’s prefilled Interview Plan; if the standard plan is not loaded, reselect or rebuild it. A separate saved or template workflow may be available, but do not assume it isolates remembered Queue inputs.

Step 2 — Configure the Interview Plan

• In the new editor panel, you can:

  • Enter the interview topic. This Queue Topic identifies the planned event for recruiters and does not replace the calendar Event Title.

  • Add one or more interviewers

  • Set duration and interview order

  • Apply tags or structured elements

  • Confirm template-based event titles

• Copy to Template maps the queued plan’s configured Event Title and Event Description into the corresponding calendar fields only when those fields are empty. Existing title and description values are preserved. Event Topic maps separately and does not replace or append to the calendar Event Title; the copied title is the Event Title configured in the extension.

• For an OR interviewer pool, one interviewer is initially assigned to a slot. The other interviewers in the configured pool should be available for manual replacement when creating a new interview. If the alternates are missing, collect the exact workflow and supporting details for investigation rather than removing the initially assigned interviewer as a workaround.

Step 3 — Complete the Scheduling Request Form

• Review or update the pre-filled form to give coordinators the key details they need.

Step 4 — Queue the Interview

• Submit the queue. Your configured interview-plan inputs and scheduling request are sent to the dashboard for scheduling.

• Coordinators will see a clean, structured Interview Plan and your completed scheduling request, ready for immediate scheduling. Calendar Event Title and Event Description values are populated by Copy to Template only when those fields are empty; existing values are not overwritten.
