iHire, a leading industry-specific employment platform, has introduced an innovative interview scheduling tool that enables employers and candidates to book interviews directly within the system. By securely syncing online calendars with iHire's applicant tracking system (ATS), employers can share availability slots, allowing applicants to self-schedule, which significantly reduces coordination time and accelerates the hiring process.
The tool addresses common pain points in recruitment by integrating scheduling into iHire's ATS, enabling employers to invite candidates from application pages. Once synced, employers configure availability, preferred meeting platforms, contact details, and scheduling limits. Candidates then select slots via email or SMS notifications, receiving instant confirmations. This setup organizes interviews in iHire's Job Tracker or ATS, fostering efficiency and positive experiences. Kyle Gamble, iHire's VP of Product, noted, “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. Our new tool addresses these challenges, giving recruiters and hiring managers the ability to seamlessly schedule and manage interviews directly from our platform.”
By minimizing communication friction, the feature improves candidate experience, reducing drop-offs and strengthening employer brands. Employers benefit from centralized management, including rescheduling and cancellations, while candidates appreciate the convenience of self-booking. This data-driven approach aligns with iHire's candidate-centric model, helping organizations fill roles faster in competitive markets.
