# Request applicant to share scheduling preferences

Request applicants on a job requisition to share their scheduling preferences to plan a seamless interview process.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_ta\_hiring\_core.recruiter or sn\_ta\_hiring\_core.recruitment\_coordinator

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Recruitment workspace**.

2.  Select the required job requisition.

3.  On the **Overview** tab, in the Applications section, select the application to request the applicant's scheduling preferences.

4.  On the application page, select **Request scheduling preferences**.

5.  On the Request scheduling preferences form, fill in the fields.

    For a description of the field values, see [Request scheduling preferences form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/interview-management/request-availability-form.md).

6.  Select **Send**.


## What to do next

-   Once you have sent a request, you can select **Send reminder** from the application page to remind the applicant via an email notification to share their scheduling preferences.
-   By default, a scheduled job sends a reminder email to the applicant on alternate days for 14 days from the day it was requested, if they haven't shared their preferences. This default value can be configured by an admin by updating the **sn\_ta\_int\_mgmt.remind\_availability\_in\_days** value.
