Scorecard Summaries

GoodTime scorecard summaries

Scorecards submitted through the Scorecard Notetaker are now neatly grouped and summarized for Hiring Managers and TA leaders alike.

Why this is awesome: Accurately assessing scorecard results is faster & more efficient which means you can make more accurate assessments, for more candidates which leads to better hires!

Interviewer Decline Reasons

Interviewer decline reasons

Interviewers can now provide a reason for declining interviews when using the Interviewer Portal.

Why this is awesome: Not all declines are created equal. This data sheds light on why declines and the subsequent administration is occurring. The ability for interviewers to do this themselves also saves RC’s time from chasing and logging this critical metric.

Interviewer Surveys

GoodTime interviewer Surveys

Earlier this year, GoodTime launched Custom Surveys for candidates. The same surveying capabilities have now been extended to Interviewers.

Why this is awesome: Candidate Experience has long been name of the game but healthy TA orgs are equally adamant about a great Interviewer Experience. Interviewer Surveys is the fastest and most structured way to understand how your interviewers are fairing through the hiring processes and how it can be optimized.

Pulse in Candidate Portal

Candidate Pulse in GoodTime's Candidate Portal

As part of the Experience+ package, the Candidate Portal is beefed up by enabling candidates to submit a Pulse Score as soon as their interview has ended.

Why this is awesome: For data to tell a story, volume is key. Increased Pulse score submissions create a better candidate experience and increase the ability to find bottlenecks in the hiring process.

Messaging in Candidate Portal

Candidates and recruiting teams can now communicate on the Candidate Portal! Send messages back and forth and help candidates get questions answered in real-time.
