Lever + Clara Tips and Tricks

If you're not joining the call, you can explicitly tell Clara that you won't join the call or you can say "Clara, please schedule this between (Candidate) and (Interviewers 1 and 2)".
If the interviewer is not a Clara user (see list of users on https://home.claralabs.com/team), Clara will schedule in your default timezone, unless you provide the interviewer's timezone.
You can let Clara know where a candidate is based and Clara will suggest times in their timezone.
You can set code words and phrases for a variety of actions beyond simply scheduling a call. For the full description of actions Clara can take, check out this article.
