## Description

Schedules an interview for a candidate opportunity. Use this when asked to set up, book, or schedule an interview for a candidate. `panel` (Interview Panel UID), `interviewers`, `date`, `duration`, and Perform As are all required. Interviews can only be created on panels where `externallyManaged == true`. `date` is a single Unix timestamp in milliseconds for when the interview occurs (e.g. `1700000000000`). `duration` is in minutes (e.g. `60`). `interviewers` is a comma-separated list of user IDs — each will be assigned to the interview. Use **List Users** to find user IDs. Use **Search Opportunities** to find the opportunity ID. Example: call with opportunityId="<id>", panelId="<panelId>" (from **List Opportunity Items** (resource=interviews)), interviewers="<userId>", date=1700000000000, duration=60, performAs="<userId>" → adds an interview to the panel and returns it. [See the documentation](https://hire.lever.co/developer/documentation#create-an-interview)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `opportunityId` | `string` | Yes | The ID of the opportunity to schedule an interview for. Use Search Opportunities to find opportunity IDs. |
| `performAs` | `string` | Yes | User ID of the person scheduling the interview — sets the interview creator. Use List Users to find user IDs. |
| `panelId` | `string` | Yes | Interview Panel UID. The panel must have externallyManaged == true. Use List Opportunity Items (resource=interviews) to find existing panel IDs. |
| `interviewers` | `string` | Yes | Comma-separated list of user IDs for interviewers (at least one required). Use List Users to find user IDs. Example: abc123,def456 |
| `date` | `integer` | Yes | Scheduled start time as a Unix timestamp in milliseconds (e.g. 1700000000000). |
| `duration` | `integer` | Yes | Interview duration in minutes. Minimum value is 1 (e.g. 30, 60). |
| `subject` | `string` | No | Interview subject or title (e.g. Technical Screen - Jane Doe). |
| `note` | `string` | No | Instructions or agenda for interviewers. |
| `location` | `string` | No | Interview location — conference room name, phone number, or video link (e.g. https://meet.google.com/abc-defg). |
