Quick answer
For interview scheduling on WordPress, our pick is Quill Booking, our own plugin: round-robin screening calls, collective panel interviews where every interviewer must be free, automatic video links and reminders from $39 a year. DoubleScale also offers collective events with a CRM, and FluentBooking is a good Calendly-style option.
Back-and-forth emails to find interview times slow hiring down and lose good candidates. Letting candidates book their own slot, from a link in your email or on your careers page, cuts days from the process.
Disclosure: Quill Booking is our plugin, so we put it first. DoubleScale is a sister product from the same team. We list the same facts for every product, including what each one does not do well, so you can make your own call.
