Rescheduling events

We are thrilled to announce that you can now simply reschedule individual events with three awesome flows. Add to another interview, search for options or pick the exact time you want.

Why this is awesome: This saves time by reducing steps, eliminates mistakes and makes the necessary communications clearer.

Revamped “Reasons” report

The former Cancellation & Reschedule Reasons report has been revamped with an easier-to-read interface and added Interviewer Decline reasons. It can also be sliced by Department, Job, and Coordinator.

Why this is awesome: This highly popular report is now more granular than ever and includes more data than before. For the first time, you can now dissect the reasons why interviewers are declining.

The main search bar in GoodTime’s Dashboard has been completely rebuilt to make it faster, more flexible, and contain more information than ever before.

Why this is awesome: This improvement saves enormous amounts of accumulated time through faster results and makes it more likely to find the right candidate on the first try.

See Candidate Details from your ATS

Now on candidate pages across all ATS, you will see a GoodTime logo which allows you to quickly see details about the candidate’s interviews.

Why this is awesome: In one button click you can see information such as if the candidate has opened their email(s), see if you’re waiting for interviewers to schedule an interview, or see the details of the candidate’s interview.

Queue candidates from your ATS

After reviewing a candidate and scorecard details, you can queue candidates to be scheduled right from your ATS.

Why this is awesome: Choose things such as priority reason, input availability, and use handoff templates to get your candidate scheduled as soon as possible.

Send messages from your ATS

Our new extension allows you to quickly contact your candidates without leaving the ATS.

Why this is awesome: Quickly send text messages, emails, or WhatsApp messages directly to your candidate right from their candidate page. You can also send request to schedule invites over these communication channels as well.
