How Consumers Use Calendly's Platform

Calendly is the leading global cloud-based scheduling platform that connects millions of people around the world. Calendly's platform aims to take the work out of scheduling so that its customers can get more done without needing multiple apps and software to keep their day on track.

Calendly helps to eliminate the need for large email chains in order to schedule meetings and can be particularly beneficial for scheduling meetings outside of organizations. The Calendly platform integrates with Google, Outlook, Office 365, and iCloud calendars. The platform also has time zone detection so everyone's on the same page no matter where they are located.

Calendly was founded in 2013 and achieved more than $70M in revenue in 2020 and has 8,000,000 monthly users. The company is on a mission to serve 100 million daily users and achieve $1 billion in revenue. Calendly is used by several Fortune 500 companies.

Applying For A Job At Calendly 

Calendly is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia but, like many companies, shifted to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and is continuing in that direction to better serve customers globally and open itself up to more job seekers. Calendly has several remote jobs available, but job seekers should read each posting carefully to confirm that the job is remote.

Calendly has open positions in customer experience, engineering, marketing, operations, people, product, and sales.

Calendly takes the hiring process very seriously and says that recruiters review all applications. Applicants that are selected will get a phone call with a recruiter that is described as "a genuine, honest, two-way conversation." Those who advance in the process will then be invited to interview with their potential future manager and will get a chance to learn more about life at Calendly, the responsibilities attached to the position, and the qualities needed to succeed at Calendly.

The next step in Calendly's hiring process is an exercise designed to let applicants showcase their knowledge and skills to the team they'll be working with if they are hired. Applicants who advance past the exercise are invited to team interviews where they'll spend time with team members in and outside of the department they applied to in order to get to know multiple team members. After the team interviews, Calendly reaches out to references and decides from there whether to make an offer.
