Looking to speed up your interview process? Add an automated scheduling tool to the mix. Not only will you free up recruiters time but candidates will love you for it as well. In today’s episode Chris Russell will discuss the top tools on the market. Goodtime is a talent operations platform for interview scheduling and interviewer training. They just raised $5 million in new funding. It sits on top of your ATS. Select interviewers yourself or let us pick the most optimal set of interviewers based on attributes/skill sets needed for the interview. GoodTime integrates with interviewers’ calendars, providing real-time availability for your candidate to select a date/time for the interview. GoodTime immediately syncs the candidate’s selection to your ATS & calendars then notifies the recruiting team, interviewers and the candidate. Interview Schedule: Find the best schedule without playing Calendar Tetris. Simplify the most manual parts of your workflow. Connect your calendar and ATS to simplify your process and minimize time toggling between tabs. Meet the needs of your candidates and team. Handle preferences and complex requirements. Interview Assistant:As an online interview scheduler created for recruiters, Interviewer Assistant allows you to quickly and easily create new interviews. With our online interview scheduler candidates will receive invitations and confirmations immediately, resulting in faster bookings and less work for you. TextRecruit: Automated Scheduling is the newest part of their platform.

Links can be sent on a one-to-one basis, as part of a campaign, or scaled for high-volume recruiting with Ari, our recruiting AI. ClaraLabs: With the introduction of back-to-back coordination, Clara can now coordinate scheduling at every stage of the interview process from initial phone screens, to hiring manager interviews, to onsite interviews. Clara Labs also continues to add to its growing list of integrations, including Microsoft 365, G Suite, Zoom, and applicant tracking systems Greenhouse and Lever, to deliver a truly seamless experience for recruiting teams and candidates alike.

This latest generation of AllyO’s platform enables HR professionals to check-in with new hires several times within their first 90 days on the job by asking customized questions like: “How happy are you in your new role?” and “Do you feel you are well-trained for the job?” The responses provide hiring teams with actionable feedback to improve retention. This new functionality also increases efficiency among HR teams by eliminating the need to manually check-in with candidates on their opinions about the hiring, onboarding and training processes.

Brad Goldoor: This is Brad Goldoor, co-founder and chief people officer at Phenom People, and I'm next on the Rec Tech podcast. Announcer: Welcome to Rec Tech, the podcast where recruiting and technology intersect. Each month, you'll hear from vendors shaping the recruiting world, along with recruiters who'll tell you how they use technology to hire talent. Now here's your host, the mad scientist of online recruiting, Chris Russell. Chris Russell: That's right. It's time for Rec Tech, the only podcast that helps employers and recruiters connect with more candidates through technology inspired conversations. Today's show is a vendor edition, but first, the Rec Tech podcast is sponsored as always by our friends at Hiretual, the recruiter's best friend. Hiretual's AI engine is a personal sourcing assistant that works for you 24/7. You can conduct email marketing campaigns, source candidates automatically much more through the new version three interface, so if you want to source more candidates, check out Hiretual, find them on the web at hiretual.com. CONNECT WITH CHRIS: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmrussell/ Chris Russell: As the chief people officer at Pennsylvania-based Phenom People, Brad Goldoor manages the talent acquisition team and talent development functions, including interviewing, onboarding and employee engagement. Before that, he spent several years as their VP of business development. Phenom has recently secured $22 million series B funding from investors such as Axa Venture Partners, but today he's on Rec Tech. Brad, welcome to the show, it's great to have you. Brad Goldoor: Thank you. Chris Russell: I'm curious, I want to start the conversation by asking you about your transition from biz dev into talent acquisition, not a typical career path, but what's that been like so far for you? Brad Goldoor: Absolutely. You know, everybody in an organization, in my opinion, is always selling, they're always selling something, whether that's internally or externally. I took the skillset of selling our product to our customers, and started using that skillset to sell the company to potential candidates, and selling all the benefits and our growth trajectory and our innovation, and everything that's unique about our company and our culture, and putting those sales skills to the test on, again, selling the opportunity and selling the company to those potential candidates. Chris Russell: Yeah. Like recruiting is sales and marketing, as they say. What did you learn from working in biz dev that really serves you well in your recruiting role now, would you say? Brad Goldoor: Sure. It's all about people, as I had said earlier, and it's being able to read those people, and being that chameleon in changing as necessary to the different personalities, and making sure you're catering to those different personality types and changing your pitch accordingly. That's been a natural transition, to move that over to recruiting. Chris Russell: Gotcha. Just to set the stage for us, how big is Phenom People terms of employee base and what's the size of your GA team there? Brad Goldoor: Yeah, we're 350 global employees, and we have a global team of seven. Chris Russell: Seven, okay. This wasn't on my original list, but besides your own software, Brad, for what tools do you guys have in house for sourcing or using other parts of the recruiting process? Can you name a few for us? Brad Goldoor: Sure. We do use Glass door, we use Comparably, we of course use LinkedIn as a sourcing tool, and as you had mentioned, of course our own tool. Chris Russell: Do you guys do a lot of sourcing internally overall, is that a big function? Brad Goldoor: Yeah, we do do a decent amount of sourcing, we've been able to leverage a lot of our news and press, and use that as a tool to attract talent. By promoting a lot of the awards we win, we find that's a very effective sourcing tool as well. Chris Russell: Yeah, I do see a lot of your press releases out there in the ecosystem, so that's interesting. Press releases could work, I guess, right? Brad Goldoor: Absolutely. We have a very large depth of content for a company of our size and stage, and we've been able to use and leverage that working closely with marketing. Recruitment is marketing, in my opinion, and so leveraging all those marketing efforts and all those awards that our marketing team that has helped us win at this point has been a really effective tool and draw, in that people are attracted right to good news and growth and big things happening, and so we've been able to leverage that very nicely. Chris Russell: Yeah. Just curious, do you use one platform for the press releases, in terms of publishing them, or what do you use for that? Brad Goldoor: As far as the press releases, we do use a PR firm to push them out, and so we rely on them to get that out into the appropriate media outlet. Chris Russell: Gotcha. I was reading some of your site and some releases before the call, you guy

Creating Compelling Candidate Communications to Double Your Candidate Email Response Rates With Angie Verros, Vaia Talent Have you ever wondered why candidates ignore your emails? Why you send out over 100 emails a day to potential candidates only to get responses like, “Not interested” or “Take me off your list.” And, that’s not including the 95 (or so) percent of recipients who delete without reading at all. With higher demand and advances in technology, we’ve seemed to leave out the personal touch of recruiting.

This audio is from a recent panel at TA Tech Europe but I wanted to chat about recruitment marketing for a moment. At RecTech Media we enable companies to outsource much of these efforts from managing your job advertising to creating content for your career site and managing your social recruiting channels so you can get back to the business of ...recruiting. Right now I see too many employers trying to meld these responsibilities onto recruiting or TA managers who are still expected to source and recruit, but to me the recruitment marketing function is better suited to a dedicated marketer who have a better understanding for how to convert online clicks into applicants. I saw a recruiting manager job the other day where the person was supposed to do full cycle recruiting and run the rec marketing function which to me really mutes that aspect of the job. There’s no way they can dedicate enough time and attention to properly market the jobs and manage sites and social. So if your company needs help with your recruitment marketing consider giving us a call at 203-572-2053 or email [email protected]… So...Enjoy the audio where you’ll hear Chad Sowash, Shane Gray from Clinch, Tycho van Passen from Vonq and Jayne Ronanyne from KonnectAgain bounce around ideas in recruitment marketing...
