Job boards have something in common with ATS (applicant tracking systems). They allow employers to move candidates through different stages and organize applications. Smart Job Board for example has a has simple ATS like functionality that job board owner can configure with the admin.
A “lite” ATS allows small employers to manage candidate flow. iHire has one too. In fact they are doubling down on it.
iHire has introduced an interview scheduling tool that allows employers and candidates to quickly and easily schedule interviews directly through the industry-specific employment platform. By securely syncing their online calendar with iHire’s applicant tracking system (ATS), employers can invite applicants to schedule interviews within their pre-selected windows of availability, thereby accelerating the entire hiring process.
Now available to users with a Job Slot subscription, iHire’s interview scheduling feature expedites the time to hire by eliminating the frustrating back-and-forth emails, phone calls, and texts that often come with finding the perfect interview timeslot. As a result, organizations can enhance applicant engagement, reduce candidate ghosting, and strengthen their employer brands.
To use iHire’s interview scheduling tool, employers must first sync their Outlook, Google, Windows 365, or Apple calendars with iHire’s ATS, which takes just seconds to complete. They can then specify dates and times they are available, link their preferred virtual meeting platform, list their contact information and physical address, specify how far out candidates can schedule interviews, and more.
Indeed has all these features and more and so the evolution of todays biggest job boards means moving down the hiring funnel by empowering their clients to use these tools.
“In our market research and conversations with our customers, employers have consistently told us that scheduling interviews and being ghosted by candidates are critical recruiting pain points,” said Kyle Gamble, iHire’s VP of Product. “Our new tool addresses these challenges, giving recruiters and hiring managers the ability to seamlessly schedule and manage interviews directly from our platform. We anticipate users realizing significant time savings while enabling a positive job seeker experience.”
