Interview Coordinator is designed to be a multi-person recruitment workflow tool which manages the flow of information and communication between candidates, hiring managers and other hiring contributors and decision makers.
From the very beginning, the software allowed multiple people with different recruiting responsibilities to login using a browser to participate in, and manage, the full recruitment process.
With the latest developments, we wanted to make this workflow process even more efficient. We also wanted to make it easier to use a small screen smart-phone to perform the same recruitment tasks.
To achieve our ambitions we created a new series of candidate facing pages, which were released last year and are called “IC_CE_Pro”. Now, we have added and released a set of contributor facing pages that we call the “candidate review” or “interview content” pages. These new pages are again fully “responsive” so will be easily usable on any size screen and are designed to provide campaign contributors with all the information they need on any specific candidate simply by clicking or tapping a URL.
Here is a use case scenario which highlights the benefits of the new pages ……
- As the Hiring Manager for a new vacancy, you’ve discussed the job spec with all the people helping to make the decision and agreed a set of characteristics on which you will judge the candidates being considered for the vacancy.
- You’ve also agreed a set of questions which, when the candidate answers them, will help you judge each candidate on the agreed characteristics.
- When a candidate applies for the vacancy the application process automatically asks the candidate to answer the agreed questions. Or perhaps you have sent the candidates with the best CV’s an email to ask them to answer the vacancy specific “screening questions”.
- When a candidate applies or responds, Interview Coordinator generates an email which contains a URL like this:
Candidate details and interview content
- When you click/tap the URL on your PC or smartphone, the new fully responsive candidate review pages are shown in your browser.
- The new pages make it easy for you and all other campaign contributors to review the candidate details and the interview content generated online, and then add their opinions, enter a rating and add an “Attribute score” for each of the characteristics you agreed would be used to judge each candidate.
- Using these new pages, you and everyone else making the hiring decision can also review all the opinions, scores and feedback from all the other hiring contributors.
The new pages mean the recruitment workflow process linking hiring managers, other campaign contributors and even external participants is made much more efficient and can mostly be conducted using smartphones.
