The Traditional Scheduling Tango: A Time-Consuming Tale.
Traditionally, recruiters dive into a complex routine of obtaining candidate availability, filtering interviewers based on skills, and manually reaching out to synchronize everyone's schedules. This manual dance involves drafting or copying a pre-prepared interview schedule email, adding email addresses, and sending it off. The process doesn't end there; recruiters must continually check and recheck to ensure the schedule is on track. This time-consuming tango eats up approximately 20-30 minutes per interview scheduling.
Even with the advent of advanced solutions like FloCareer, the story of scheduling woes persisted.
Auto-Scheduling: A Symphony of Efficiency
Enter Auto-Scheduling – a transformative boon that catapults hiring efficiency by up to 5 times. This innovative feature takes the chore out of interview scheduling, making it a seamless and hassle-free experience for recruiters, candidates, and interviewers alike.
How Auto-Scheduling Works its Magic
Automated Request for Time Slots:
The Auto-Scheduler initiates the process by sending emails to both candidates and interviewers, requesting their availability. This eliminates the need for back-and-forth communication.
Intelligent Slot Matching:
Once availability is provided, the Auto-Scheduler works its magic. It intelligently identifies compatible slots for both interviewers and candidates, ensuring a harmonious match.
Creation of Interview Session Link:
A pivotal feature is the creation of an interview session link. This link integrates code collaboration and video-chat capabilities, streamlining the entire interview process.
Effortless Stakeholder Invitation:
With the slots aligned and the interview session link ready, the Auto-Scheduler sends out email invitations to all stakeholders – candidates, interviewers, coordinators, and recruiters.
Customized Interview Services for Seamless Hiring
Tailored Interviewer Selection:
When recruiters create job profiles, the Auto-Scheduler identifies skilled interviewers suitable for the job. If slots are insufficient, it sends email reminders to add availability.
Efficient Resume Uploads:
Uploading resumes triggers automated emails to candidates, prompting them to add their availability. The Auto-Scheduler then syncs interviewers' time slots with the candidate's provided slots.
AI Interview Scheduling: Handling the Unexpected
Direct Slot Addition by Recruiters:
Recruiters can expedite the process by directly adding time slots based on prior candidate conversations, ensuring a swift progression.
Manual Triggering of Availability Requests:
In rare scenarios of missed or failed email communications, recruiters can manually trigger availability request emails from the candidate availability page.
Internal Coordinator Intervention:
When recruiters are unavailable, an internal coordinator team is notified. They have the capability to add time slots and trigger availability request emails, ensuring the process stays on course.
Resolution of Scheduling Hurdles:
If suitable time slots are elusive, the internal coordinator team steps in, coordinating with both interviewers and candidates to promptly identify and schedule interviews.
Call-Based Availability Addition:
In cases where candidates or interviewers are not reachable via email but available for a call, internal coordinators can add time slots in the system to trigger the auto-scheduler.
