### Step 1 — Connect Your Cal.com Account

1. Go to: [My Calendar](https://app.hirempire.com/dashboard/settings/calendar)
2. Click **Connect Cal.com**
3. You will be redirected to Cal.com to authenticate
4. Approve access for Hirempire

After successful authentication, you will be redirected back to Hirempire.

### Step 2 — Choose the Event Type

Once you return to Hirempire:

* You will see all your Cal.com event types (e.g., 15-min call, 30-min interview, HR screening)
* Select the event you want applicants to book
* This event will be used in all interview booking emails
