The Cronofy alternative for recruiting
Cronofy is primarily a scheduling API and infrastructure layer — great if you're a developer embedding scheduling into another product. If you just want to schedule interviews, you want an app, not an API.
Why look beyond Cronofy
Cronofy powers real-time availability inside other tools and offers a scheduler product, but it's aimed at builders and teams that integrate it. SyncHire is a ready-to-use, French-native app: create a link, share it, done — no engineering.

SyncHire: built for the recruiter in the middle
SyncHire reads the hiring manager's real free/busy from a read-only calendar connection (no account, no seat) and shows the candidate only genuinely-free times, on a link that carries their name. The interview lands on your calendar with a Google Meet or Teams link. It's French-native and RGPD-first.
When Cronofy is still the better choice
If you're building a product and need calendar / free-busy infrastructure or ATS-embedded scheduling, Cronofy is a robust API to build on.
