You absolutely can! You have to replace the default filter that defines the retries as Ashley shows here: [Automatic retries - how to manually configure the time between retries](http://hangfire.discourse.group/t/automatic-retries-how-to-manually-configure-the-time-between-retries/411)

This is basically how i did it as well. I expanded the class to include the original retry schedule, a fixed schedule that’s slightly configurable, then an extended schedule so different instances of HF could choose which strategy they would like to use.
