How Rubrik recoups thousands of hours scheduling interviews with GoodTime

How it all started

Rubrik makes it easy for businesses to backup, recover, replicate, search, analyze, archive, and copy data in the cloud. 

The head of Rubrik’s six-person recruiting team, Neboysa Omcikus, started at the company when there were only 15 employees. Despite growing the headcount to 200, Neboysa knew they were reaching the limits of their capabilities. 

The interview process was painful, time-consuming, error-prone, and not scalable for next year’s hiring goals. When the internal software built by their engineers proved unsuccessful, Rubrik turned to GoodTime.

What we were trying to achieve

In 2017, Rubrik aimed to grow by 250%. Moving from 200 to 500 employees meant the six-person recruiting team could no longer afford to dump time into mundane scheduling tasks. The team needed to find a way to recoup at least 30-40 hours each week on scheduling if they were going to hit their targets.

“Recruiting is a reflection of your company as a whole. Candidates start to see that in all the smallest stuff we do. Our candidates say that scheduling through GoodTime is the most efficient process they went through.”

A match made in heaven

With GoodTime Hire, the average time it takes the team to set up an interview invite decreased from 20 minutes to just a minute and a half. Candidates now receive automated, customized invitations to select the interview time that works best for them. 

When candidates inevitably needed to reschedule, it used to eat up bandwidth. With Hire, replacing an interviewer or rescheduling became barely an inconvenience. All in all, Rubrik saved immense time, stress, and money with Hire — almost like having an extra person on the team.

How ZeroCater schedules interviews 7.2x faster with GoodTime

How it all started

ZeroCater is a tech-enabled, corporate catering service for growth-stage companies. 

When Matt Greenburg started as Director of Recruiting back in 2016, manual tasks and endless back-and-forths with candidates defined the company’s interview processes. As ZeroCater scaled their hiring efforts, Matt sought to instill the interview process with greater consistency and efficiency.

What we were trying to achieve

Matt set the goal of increasing hiring speed while forming genuine bonds with candidates. To accomplish this, the team wanted a product that could handle the complexity of on-site interviews, one of the biggest time sinks. 

They had piloted a few tools that proved to be unreliable and ultimately took away from the candidate experience. ZeroCater turned to GoodTime for a solution that could book conference rooms, manage multiple interviewers’ calendars (including busy executives’ calendars), and easily reschedule on-site interviews.

“We are a user focused organization. Therefore, the candidate experience is really paramount for us. We tried multiple tools but decided on GoodTime because our candidates gave positive feedback on the ease and speed of interview scheduling they experienced”

A match made in heaven

It wasn’t long before ZeroCater started reaping the benefits of GoodTime Hire; finally, the team achieved consistency. Candidates received the option to choose an interview time that best suited them without any back-and-forth, and the feedback was nothing but positive. Even rescheduling was no longer an issue, as Hire allowed coordinators to easily pick replacement interviewers with relevant experience and expertise. 

With Hire in their tech stack, the ZeroCater team scheduled interviews much faster, reduced their time-to-hire, and found time to focus on the most important element: forming the candidate relationship.
