Cancellation & Reschedule Reasons Report
The GoodTime Cancellation & Reschedule Reasons Report shows a precise breakdown of what caused both actions. You can dissect the data by high-level reasons, and detailed reasons.
Why this is awesome: Anyone can agree that reschedules and schedules are necessary, but not great. Drilling down to what causes them is the first step to improving your process.
Auto-tag trainees upon enrollment
Now you can configure your training paths so that trainees are automatically assigned a tag upon enrollment.
Why this is awesome: Trainees are best nominated for interviews through the use of tags. Auto-tagging trainees when they enroll eliminates a whole step of the training process by automating it according to your specific needs.
Pulse benchmarking
The brand new GoodTime Pulse report now offers benchmarking!
Why this is awesome: The Pulse score is the most objective and standardized way to track candidate experience and helps you improve over time. But only GoodTime benchmarking allows you to measure that improvement objectively against the true industry standard.
Event & Superday scheduling
Candidates can now self-schedule for superday and interview day interviews using the same Request Availability flow they love and know!
Why this is awesome: Even more automation is brought to our Interview Day scheduling flow! No more Excel spreadsheets and manual emails to get scheduling done.
Screener questionnaires
You can now create custom questionnaires that exist in the scheduling flow! Use this to collect important information from candidates and disallow candidates who are not a good fit from scheduling their interviews.
Why this is awesome: Save a ton of time for recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates by pre-screening them before scheduling!
Even more improvements!
For Hire:
Custom labels for Interview Blocks
Now you can label your blocks “GTIB…” or “GoodTime Interview Block..” followed by anything you need.
Improvements to tag-picking logic for Request Availability
– Increased randomization
– Increased pool size
Specific Time for 4 days or more
While multi-day options were historically limited to 3 days or less, now you can configure the most complex interviews over however many days & weeks you need.
Training Path names
Now you can easily see the training path names for alternates when pulling out the “change trainee sidebar”.
For Hire for High Volume:
Multiple candidate creation
We now support multiple candidates with the same phone number and email address. This supports creation and messaging to these candidates instead of a popup alerting you a candidate already exists
Interview day enhancements
You can now update interviewers after an interview has been scheduled. This will automatically update the interviewer across all interviews.
You can also schedule with empty interviewers and update after scheduling.
Enhancements for Settings & Templates
- Leverage variables to place the candidate’s resume and interviewer scorecard wherever you want in the calendar invitation ($Candidate.Resume.URL and $FeedbackForm.URL)
- Use the new Zoom Meeting ID variable to provide interviewers with the Zoom ID when in meeting rooms ($Interview.Zoom.MeetingId)
- Generate the video links inside of the location field with our new setting
- Now display OR and AND between pills across the application
