Setting up an appointment between two people is difficult. Determining the ideal times that satisfy the needs of both the candidate and the recruiter is an effort on its own. A recruiter wants to meet their objective of obtaining the candidate, however, due to time restrictions, this might be difficult to do.
Having candidates come for an interview and assessment presents different challenges. While many applicants have free schedules that allow them to take the tests, this may not be the case for other candidates. As a recruiter, you need to evaluate every possible candidate, thus your plan should take into account their schedules. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a productive demand for the recruitment process to shift from being conducted offline to being conducted online. The online recruitment process offers flexibility for both recruiters and candidates, but the solution should go beyond just conducting interviews and online assessments.
Astronaut’s latest feature update provides flexibility for candidates to move at their own pace to begin interviews and assessments. Our asynchronous videos and assessments are now paired with flexible scheduling. Candidates can now start their interviews and assessments anytime they want as long as it is before the marked deadline. It improves candidate experience not only in scheduling problems but also allows candidates to find a suitable time and place to start their assessments, reduces nervousness and pressure, giving recruiters the results of a candidate’s best effort.
To activate flexible scheduling, simply use the landing page feature when you create a job, and then select Yes on the area marked in the picture above. For example, if the recruiter sets the deadline to October 26th, then the candidate may complete the session any time before that deadline. Because of this flexibility, there won’t be any scheduling conflicts with the candidate, and neither the recruiter nor the candidate will be restricted by a certain period of time.
Create a better candidate experience today using our flexible scheduling feature! Here to help as always.
