I can't believe scheduling interviews is still part of my job.

I can't believe scheduling interviews is still part of my job.

I have a master's degree. Six years of experience. A title with "Senior" in it.


And this morning I spent two hours bouncing between three calendars, four time zones, and a hiring manager who "might be free Thursday, but check with his EA first."


That's not recruiting. That's unpaid admin with a fancy title.


So I stopped. Now Megan does it.


She's the AI in Mega HR. Syncs with everyone's calendar. Sends the links.

Handles the back-and-forth. I just show up to the interview.


Try Mega HR. Take the meeting, not the migraine.
