Schedule Interviews
Scheduling interviews is often a time-consuming, back-and-forth process that delays hiring. In today’s market, applicants usually apply to multiple jobs and tend to accept the first solid offer they get. Waiting a week to call them back or requiring extra steps—such as logging into a separate platform or emailing their availability—risks losing quality candidates. Meanwhile, managers who don’t hear back spend time on manual follow-ups. By automating your next steps, you can secure top talent faster and reduce administrative overhead.
How you might currently be doing this
- Phone calls
- Text messages
- Emails
- Digital calendar invites
- Job board or scheduling platform notifications
