If an interviewer is going on vacation, leave, or will be unavailable for a period of time, you can temporarily remove them from scheduling in two ways:
đš Option 1: Set Their Daily Capacity to Zero
This is the cleanest way to pause someone:
Go to Settings â Users
Click the interviewerâs name
Select Edit scheduling preferences
Change Max interviews per day to 0
Save
â Guide will exclude them from scheduling until you update this setting again.
đš Option 2: Have Them Block Their Calendar
If the interviewer is actively using their calendar, they can create an all-day event marked as Busy to block availability (e.g., âOOO â Vacationâ).
Guide respects Google and Outlook calendar availability, so these blocks will prevent scheduling.
đ Can I Pause Someone Until a Specific Date?
Guide doesnât yet support setting interviewer-specific blocked dates (like âpause until June 30â), but the two options above achieve the same result manually.
For future automation or return dates, you may want to add a reminder to update their profile when they return.
