Organization Settings: Interview Defaults

Customize how internal interview names appear to candidates and control which interviews are shown or hidden in the portal.

Updated this week

🧾 What Are Interview Defaults?

The Interview Defaults section helps you:

  • Customize internal ATS interview titles for candidate visibility

  • Set default candidate-facing labels for each interview type

  • Toggle visibility of interviews to show or hide them from the candidate portal

This page displays every interview synced from your global ATS interview kit or library.


✍️ Add Candidate-Facing Titles

Each Greenhouse interview has an optional field to define a Candidate-Facing Title.

To edit:

  1. Locate the interview row you’d like to update

  2. In the Candidate-facing title column, enter the label you want candidates to see

💡 Use clean, readable names (e.g., “Skill Assessment" instead of “Application Pen Test Lab”)


👁️ Control Interview Visibility

You can choose which interviews are visible to candidates in their:

  • Guide candidate portal

  • Calendar invite titles

  • Email confirmations

To update visibility:

  1. Locate the interview you’d like to show/hide

  2. Toggle the Visible switch on or off

🔒 Some internal interviews like debriefs or technical screens may be better hidden by default.


🔗 Linked Jobs

The Linked jobs column shows how many Greenhouse jobs each interview is connected to. This helps you understand the scope of changes when editing labels or visibility settings.


✅ Tips

  • Keep candidate-facing titles consistent across similar interview types.

  • Use the visibility toggle to globally suppress interviews you never want candidates to see.

  • These settings apply globally across your Guide workspace, so changes will affect all jobs using the linked Greenhouse interview.
