For recruiters delegating scheduling and records to a filipino assistant
The short answer
Recruiting coordination can reduce scheduling friction while candidate assessment, accommodations, feedback, and selection remain with the recruiting team.
A practical implementation plan
Define the coordination lane
List stages, approved participants, scheduling rules, privacy limits, and the recruiting owner for exceptions.
Keep candidate context narrow
Record availability, interview type, confirmation, and logistics without copying evaluation notes or sensitive personal information into the calendar.
Route candidate questions
Escalate compensation, accommodations, process complaints, unusual requests, and questions that require a recruiting judgment.
Close without implying selection
Confirm the scheduled outcome and next recruiting action. A completed calendar invite is not a hiring decision.
Decision and evidence controls
Use this control map as a starting point, then adapt it to the actual systems, policies, and accountable owners in your organization.
| Decision | Accountable owner | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule within approved rules | Assistant | Candidate reference and confirmation |
| Answer assessment or process question | Recruiter | Approved response and source |
| Make selection decision | Hiring team | Internal evaluation record |
What to measure
Review reschedule rate, confirmation latency, missing logistics, candidate recontact, and owner corrections; calendar throughput is not candidate quality.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Sharing evaluation notes broadly
- Treating availability as evidence of fit
- Sending an unapproved process or commitment message
Common questions
Can the assistant reject a candidate?
No. Scheduling support must not make or communicate a selection decision unless the recruiting owner explicitly handles it.
What can be stored?
Only the logistics and approved coordination fields needed for the next recruiting action.
