Our verdict on Cadence

Cadence is interview scheduling software for recruiting teams that need candidate self-scheduling, panel coordination and structured communication. Its free plan covers candidate self-scheduling, rescheduling and cancellation links, Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 synchronization, status pages, consent-gated email, CSV import, interviewer scorecards, pipeline views, dashboards and GDPR tooling. It runs on the web and is suited to teams seeking core scheduling workflows without starting with a paid plan.

The pricing structure is straightforward at the plan level. The Free plan includes the main scheduling and coordination features, including calendar synchronization, candidate status pages, scorecards and dashboards. The Team plan adds Greenhouse and Lever ATS synchronization with scheduling write-back, no-show confirmation cascades, recruiter alerts and SLA nudges for silent candidates. Teams comparing plans should weigh whether ATS write-back and recruiter escalation workflows justify moving beyond the free tier.

Cadence’s strongest fit is recruiting operations that already work with Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 and want a focused scheduling layer with Greenhouse or Lever support. The product also addresses follow-up through no-show reminders, alerts and consent-gated email templates. However, video interview support is not part of the published feature set, so teams seeking scheduling and video interviewing in one product should consider alternatives. Its privacy notice is marked as placeholder text and not yet binding, which matters for organizations reviewing data-handling documentation. Choose Cadence for scheduling, coordination and recruiting workflow controls; look elsewhere if built-in video interviews or finalized privacy documentation is essential.

I've used Cadence myself and this is my honest opinion — nobody paid or asked me to write it.
