agent hallucinating figures not in source data for send interview confirmations

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in interview confirmation agent by acting on the exact problem first: build each confirmation only from the booked event record, comparing candidate name, time, timezone and join link in the draft against that record, and hold any confirmation where a field in the draft has no matching field on the booking. Do not rerun the whole workflow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one candidate first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Use this when

• The operation in interview confirmation agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating figures not in source data for send interview confirmations to the panel.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An interview, a panel booking or a candidate confirmation is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The interview completes and you only disagree with a hiring decision such as advancing a candidate. That is a hiring call, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named candidate in interview confirmation agent and record the full problem text plus the candidate, requisition or panel involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: build each confirmation only from the booked event record, comparing candidate name, time, timezone and join link in the draft against that record, and hold any confirmation where a field in the draft has no matching field on the booking. Verify: the single failing candidate now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring candidates, panels or requisitions that share the same automation, template or calendar sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one candidate. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in interview confirmation agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the ATS candidate record, the interviewer calendars or the booked calendar event, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the candidate record so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

How to fix - agent hallucinating figures not in source data for send interview confirmations to the panel error hallucination failure

The how to phrasing for the same failure in interview confirmation agent. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

interview confirmation agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

A confirmation template with empty fields invites the agent to invent a plausible time or link, and a field by field comparison against the booking catches invented details while they are still drafts.

Edge cases

• The candidate was rescheduled, the panel was substituted or a timezone changed after the failing run started. Refresh the candidate state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single candidate proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other candidates. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared automation can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The ATS candidate record governs stage and panel assignment, the interviewer calendars govern availability, and the booked calendar event governs the interview time; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: interview confirmation agent at current versions, plus the ATS, calendar or video platform the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

Fix this in calendar sync agent by acting on the exact problem first: treat any availability window that did not come from a calendar response as missing rather than filling it in, record synced windows per interviewer from the actual responses, and flag interviewers with no retrieved window for a manual check. Do not rerun the whole workflow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one candidate first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

calendar sync agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

When one calendar in the sync returns nothing, an agent can present assumed working hours as synced availability, and only response level recording keeps assumed hours out of the panel search.

Edge cases

• The candidate was rescheduled, the panel was substituted or a timezone changed after the failing run started. Refresh the candidate state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single candidate proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other candidates. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared automation can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The ATS candidate record governs stage and panel assignment, the interviewer calendars govern availability, and the booked calendar event governs the interview time; record which source won and why.

TL;DR

Fix this in interview reschedule agent by acting on the exact problem first: fill the replacement time only from slots returned by a fresh availability search after the decline, show the source slot list alongside the proposed new time, and block the rebook when the proposed time is not in that list. Do not rerun the whole workflow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one candidate first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

interview reschedule agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

A reschedule draft written from memory of the original panel invents a replacement time that may clash, and a fresh source slot list is what the new time must be drawn from.

Edge cases

• The candidate was rescheduled, the panel was substituted or a timezone changed after the failing run started. Refresh the candidate state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single candidate proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other candidates. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared automation can hide more than one cause.
