How Does the Calendar Work?
Kandid.pro's calendar is purpose-built for job seekers. It connects every event to your applications, contacts, and interview rounds — so your schedule isn't just a list of times, it's a live map of your entire job search. Schedule interviews, block focus time, set follow-up reminders, and track deadlines — all in one place.
1. Create Events
Double-click any time slot or use the "Add Event" button. Choose from 15 event types — interviews, follow-ups, focus time, deadlines, and more — and link each event to an application or contact.
2. Stay Organised
Switch between Month, Week, Today, and Agenda views. Drag and drop to reschedule, resize to adjust duration, and mark events complete to earn points and track progress.
3. Sync Externally
Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook for two-way sync. Your Kandid.pro events appear in your external calendar, and external events appear in Kandid.pro — no double-bookings.
What Event Types Can You Track?
Every stage of a job search has its own rhythm. Kandid.pro gives you 15 dedicated event types so nothing slips through the cracks — from the first application to the final offer.
Applications & Interviews
Track application submissions, interview rounds, and auto-generated interview prep events that appear the day before each interview. Link interviews directly to specific rounds for seamless tracking.
Communication
Log calls, emails, LinkedIn messages, and follow-ups. Every communication event can link to a contact or application, building a complete timeline of your outreach.
Productivity
Schedule focus time blocks, set reminders, create tasks, and mark deadlines. Focus time events are recurring and power the Today feature — your daily productivity system.
Milestones
Capture offers received, important notes, and other milestones. Every event carries a status — Scheduled, Completed, Cancelled, or Rescheduled — so you always know where things stand.
What Are the Calendar Views?
Four views designed for different moments in your job search. Switch between them instantly to get the perspective you need — from a high-level monthly overview to a focused daily action plan.
Month View
A full month grid with colour-coded events. See your entire job search at a glance — spot busy weeks, identify gaps, and click any date to drill down into the detail.
Week View
Monday-to-Sunday columns with an hourly grid. Drag and drop events to reschedule, resize to adjust duration — all snapping to a 15-minute grid for precision.
Today View
A split-panel layout with your timeline on the left and event details on the right. A current-time indicator updates every minute, and selecting a Focus Time block reveals the ActionQueue — a prioritised list of applications, leads, and contacts to work through.
Agenda View
A clean, read-only list from yesterday to seven days ahead, grouped by date. Perfect for a quick scan of what's coming up without the visual complexity of a grid.
How Does Application and Contact Linking Work?
Events in Kandid.pro aren't isolated — they connect to the entities that matter. Link any event to a job application or contact record, and the calendar becomes a living timeline of your relationships and opportunities.
Link to Applications
Connect events to specific job applications. Interview events, follow-ups, and deadlines all flow back to the application timeline — giving you a complete history of every interaction.
Link to Contacts
Attach events to contact records. Calls, emails, LinkedIn messages, and meetings all appear on the contact's activity feed — so you never lose track of a conversation.
Link to Interview Rounds
Interview events can link directly to a specific interview round. Jump from the calendar to round details, prep materials, and your AI Study Sheet in one click.
Link to Goals
Focus Time events can link to a specific goal, filtering the ActionQueue to show only items relevant to that goal. Stay on track with targeted, goal-driven sessions powered by the Today & Focus Time system.
How Do Recurring Events Work?
Focus Time blocks support full recurring event scheduling using the iCal RRULE standard. Set your cadence once and Kandid.pro generates instances across your visible date range — no manual duplication required.
Flexible Recurrence
Choose daily, weekly, or custom frequencies. Select specific days of the week with checkboxes, set an end date or a number of occurrences — the recurrence dialog makes it simple.
Edit Once, Update All
Editing the original recurring event updates all generated instances. No need to chase down individual occurrences — one change propagates everywhere.
How Does External Calendar Sync Work?
Connect Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, or both — Kandid.pro keeps your job search schedule synchronised across all your calendars. OAuth2 authentication means your credentials stay secure.
Google Calendar
Full push and pull support for Gmail and Google Workspace accounts. Connect in seconds with secure OAuth — Kandid.pro never sees your password.
Microsoft / Outlook
Full push and pull support for Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, and Microsoft 365 work or school accounts. Each provider syncs independently with its own settings.
Incremental Sync
Sync happens automatically every time you open the calendar. Use "Sync Now" for an instant refresh. Configure the sync window up to 365 days to control how much history you see.
Read-Only Imports
Imported external events are read-only in Kandid.pro — you can't accidentally edit, drag, or delete them. Provider-specific colour coding makes it easy to see where each event came from.
What Is the Today Feature?
The Today view is your daily productivity system. It combines your timeline with an ActionQueue that surfaces the most important items to work on during each Focus Time block — applications to submit, leads to follow up, contacts to reach out to.
ActionQueue
When you select a Focus Time block on today's date, the right panel shows a prioritised list of action items matching the block's goal. Work through them one by one, marking each complete.
Points & Progress
Completing items awards points with a satisfying animation. Track your daily progress and build momentum — the more consistent you are, the faster your search moves.
Session Cache
Your daily session data is cached, so you can leave and return without losing progress. The cache resets each day, giving you a fresh start every morning.
