Candidates get to pick the time that suits them the most, and recruiters need not to worry about juggling multiple schedules. That's hitting two birds with one stone!
When you are handling international candidates, it is vital that all parties are informed of the logistical requirements for the scheduled interview. Interview scheduling tools can be set up to automatically send reminders pre-interviews to both interviewers and interviewees, thus reducing the manual tasks for coordinators and no-show rate for interviews.
Candidate experience can directly impact your hiring outcomes. Here are a few things you can do to boost candidate experience as you schedule international interviews:
- Be mindful of the candidate's regional holiday and off-hours.
- Provide instructional material to help candidates utilize the scheduling or video conference tool.
- Keep them informed of any changes regardless of the automated emails from your scheduling tool. It's the human interaction that makes the experience.
