Google Meet integration
When an interviewer has connected Google Calendar, every online interview gets a real Google Meet link, added to the invite for the candidate and the panel.
Why connect it
Why connect Google Meet to OneATS
No link-pasting
Meet links are created with the calendar event, so nobody has to make and paste a link.
Links that work
OneATS never sends placeholder links; if the meeting can't be created, the interview is saved and you can add a link yourself.
Reschedule safely
Moving the interview updates the same event and Meet link.
