Preventing Duplicate Interviewers in the Same Panel

Learn how Guide automatically prevents interviewers from being scheduled multiple times in a single interview loop.

🔁 Can the Same Interviewer Be Scheduled More Than Once?

By default, Guide automatically prevents duplicate interviewer assignments within the same interview panel.


This means:

  • The same person won’t be double-booked for two different interviews in the same loop

  • Guide will prioritize unique coverage unless the loop explicitly requires a duplicate (e.g. a hiring manager joins multiple stages)


🛠️ How It Works

Guide checks for:

  • Interviewers already assigned to another stage in the loop

  • Whether there are alternative qualified interviewers available

  • Whether a panel or tag requires a specific interviewer to appear twice (e.g., intro + close)

Only in rare cases — like a small panel or heavily constrained role — will Guide allow a duplicate to proceed, and only if that interviewer is the only one pre-set for multiple interviews.


✅ No Setup Required

This logic is automatically built into Guide’s scheduler and works with:

  • Manual scheduling

  • Aria automations

  • Load-balanced panels

No additional configuration is needed to block duplicates — it’s on by default.
