Cronofy

🎯 Should you use Cronofy?

Buy if: You coordinate 50+ interviews monthly and your ATS doesn't have decent scheduling built in.

Skip if: You're a solo recruiter scheduling 10 interviews per week-your calendar app already does this.

⚡ In practice

• ●Setup: 30-60 minutes connecting calendars and setting availability rules
• ●Interview scheduling: Cuts coordinator workload by 60-70% for panel interviews
• ●Rescheduling: Candidate picks new slot, all panelists update automatically

⚠️ Where it breaks

• ●No published pricing means you're negotiating blind, and small teams report sticker shock after the demo.
• ●Time zone detection fails when candidates travel or use VPNs, sending 3pm EST invites to someone now in London.

💸 Is it worth the money?

Enterprise pricing starts around $500-$800/month based on coordinator reports, which works if you're scheduling 200+ interviews monthly. For smaller teams, Calendly at $16/seat or your ATS native scheduling costs 90% less.

🆚 If not this

• ●Calendly -> Flat $16/month per user, works fine for solo recruiters and small teams
• ●GoodTime -> Better for high-volume coordination teams that need deeper ATS integration and analytics

🎯 Final verdict

Infrastructure play for teams drowning in panel logistics-overkill for everyone else.
