Note: I know this guide is not top notch. I wrote it one morning in 15 mins while commuting to work. I promise I'll make it better, one day... :). If you need any information / help / customisation, I'll be happy to improve this project, so get in touch @ [email protected]. Also, pull requests are very welcome - just try to follow the same coding guidelines...

Interview Scheduler

Interview Scheduler is a very simple but effective app that allows HR manager to automate the process of scheduling interviews between candidates and interviewers.

It works by checking the availability of 2 or more interviewers (configurable) in their Google Calendar and then by sending the candidate a list of available slots they can choose from.

As soon as the candidate chooses one slot, an invitation is sent to the interviewers and a notification is sent to the HR manager, so that a formal invitation to the candidate can be sent through their own internal systems (e.g. JobVite).

Installation & Setup

• Obtain Google API Credentials to be able to use Google Calendar API
• In the API Console, enable Google Calendar API
• Change the quota of Google Calendar API to 500 requests / seconds (you'll unlikely go beyond the 5 / seconds, but we just want to increase the quota case multiple HR managers are using it)
• Clone the repo
• Rename settings.default.json to settings.json
• Set your Google API Credentials in settings.json
• Set the domain for the email addresses that will be recognized as HR Manager in /environment.coffee
• $ meteor --settings=settings.json
• Set your mailgun credentials to be able to send emails through MailGun
• http://localhost:3000/admin and you're good to go

Deployment

This deployment is based on an Ubuntu box on EC2, running on the free tier (it's good enough unless you have to schedule hundreds of interviews a day).

Of course you can deploy anywhere you want :)

• Install MUP
• Rename mup.sample.json to mup.json
• Get an EC2 box from Amazon - recommended to use Ubuntu as it already comes with a few basic packages out of the box
• Configure your host, urls, folders and pem key in mup.json
• $ mup setup
• $ mup deploy
