Extend an Interview Deadline

If a candidate needs a little more time to complete their automated interview or if they missed their window entirely, you can easily push back their deadline. You can adjust deadlines for individual candidates or update a whole group at once.



1. Extending a Single Candidate's Deadline


  1. Go to Invitations from the main sidebar menu, or open a specific automated interview template and go to the Invite tab.
  2. Locate the candidate who needs more time.
  3. Click the More actions (...) menu on the right side of their row.
  4. Select Extend deadline from the dropdown list.
  5. In the pop-up modal, select the new due date and time.
  6. Click Confirm & Send to save.



As soon as you save, the platform will automatically dispatch a "Deadline extension" email to the candidate, letting them know they now have more time to complete their interview.


Please note: If you are using Cammio automated interviews integrated, it may be that your ATS is handling the candidate communication. In this case, no candidate communication is sent out by Cammio.





2. Extend Deadlines for Multiple Candidates (Bulk)


  1. Go to Invitations from the main sidebar menu, or open your specific automated interview template and go to the Invite tab.
  2. Check the boxes next to the names of all the candidates whose deadlines need adjusting.
  3. A bulk action bar will automatically appear at the bottom of your screen. Click Extend deadlines.
  4. Select the new due date for the selected group.
  5. Click to confirm.


Tip: If a candidate's status currently shows as Deadline Expired, extending their deadline will instantly reactivate their original invitation link.
