Here are a few time-saving Apps for your calendar that help you to schedule meetings between fellow colleagues and external candidates and clients, with no schedule clashes and no more digital volleyball trying to find a suitable time that suits all.

For companies of all sizes, in any industry (particularly recruitment) that use Google Apps for their email (and documents, and calendar, and photos etc), the new Suggested Times feature in your Google Calendar could save some valuable time.

With one click of the Suggested Times button, Google Calendar will show you the first time that everyone is free to take the meeting, just click on the available slot and it inputs it automatically in to your calendar.Suggested Times allows you to access available meeting times from within your accessible calendars (ie, all those in your organisation), thereby eliminating the process of sending a series of pointless emails back and forth to several people about whether they can meet at a certain time.

Suggested Times is the latest Google Apps feature available and it follows on from other Labs products highlighted in a previous Social Talent blog such as the handy “Canned Responses”, which allows you to save and re-use an infinite number of “standard responses” when you reply to an email; the recruiter-friendly “Sender Time Zone”, which makes easy work of dealing with recipients in multiple time zones and “Undo Send”, a feature which can hold back delivery of emails for a few seconds if you inadvertently clicked “Send”.
