My answer to the question here is that it depends.

High volume? the seniority of the role or profile etc

based on those we can't say x amount of interviews is appropriate or not.

I have tried having them have a fixed day in the week sometimes or most times, but it wouldn't always work for candidates. I advise HMs to have certain hours on random days open this gives us slots to share with the candidates.

One rule of thumb is everything is about tradeoffs, if the HMs feel they are too busy it helps me prioritise their candidates and interviews accordingly, I share the risks with them and tell them we could always move at their pace :)

Buy-in has been great for Setting a few Proactive placeholders A/B/C, to then update with full invite and attendees once confirmed
