Availability: Availability varies by program and account. Confirm which controls are enabled with EarlyDay.
When an interview time changes, the educator and the program need a clear next step. EarlyDay's rescheduling workflows keep the change tied to the existing interview. The action differs depending on whether the educator chooses another time or the employer asks them to reschedule.
In the educator workflow, a scheduled upcoming interview can offer a reschedule action. That action opens the scheduling experience for the existing interview so the educator can choose a new date and time. The original appointment provides context rather than requiring the person to start a separate application.
Before confirming a change, review the date, time and interview format shown in the scheduling experience. If any details are unclear, communicate with the program rather than assume that an earlier conversation still describes the updated appointment.
The employer workflow is different. Its confirmation explains that the interview returns to Invited status and the educator needs to schedule a new time. Requesting that change does not itself create a new confirmed appointment.
That distinction helps a hiring team avoid a common coordination mistake: treating an invitation as if both sides have already agreed on a replacement slot. After requesting a reschedule, the team should follow the interview's actual status and wait for the next scheduling step.
First, identify the correct candidate and interview. Second, decide whether the existing appointment needs to change. Third, read the confirmation so you understand what the action will do. Finally, check the resulting status and make clear who is responsible for the next step.
When your program needs to move an interview, explain the change directly: “We need to change our interview time. Please choose another available slot, and let us know if none of the options works for you.” Adapt this sample to your situation. Check the actual interview status rather than treating the message as confirmation of a new appointment.
No. In the described employer workflow, it returns the interview to Invited so the educator can schedule a new time.
No. The described workflow concerns the existing interview. It should not be treated as a new job application.
Confirm the current EarlyDay experience for your account and the interview's status. Do not assume that a canceled or otherwise ineligible interview has the same actions as a scheduled one.
