March 28, 2023, SAN FRANCISCO – GoodTime, the world’s first Meeting Optimization Engine, today announced a new integration between its GoodTime Meet product, a scheduling software for remote and hybrid teams, and Gem, a talent engagement and analytics platform. Leveraged directly in Gem, the integration streamlines scheduling during the sourcing process by creating an automated experience for both recruiters and candidates.
Recruiters can synchronize Meet and Gem with just the click of a button from Gem’s settings. After recruiters add a Meet scheduling link from Meet’s Chrome extension or web app into their automated email sequences, Gem tracks when a candidate schedules a meeting and stops the sequence from sending further follow-ups. This eliminates the need for recruiters to manually track booked meetings and gives candidates an efficient experience.
“Talent professionals must aim to improve the candidate experience, and this is especially true when sourcing passive candidates. You want their experience to be as smooth and polished as possible,” said Ahryun Moon, CEO & Co-Founder at GoodTime. “This integration completely automates the scheduling process, creating a better candidate experience and saving time by eliminating back-and-forth emails. And now that recruiters don’t have to manually check when candidates schedule, their workload benefits as well.”
This integration of GoodTime Meet and Gem also allows recruiters to leverage company branding capabilities within Meet to share customized and branded scheduling pages seen by candidates. As a result, candidates receive a unique hiring experience and get to know the company’s brand from their very first first interaction with an organization.
“One of the things we hear constantly from talent professionals is that they struggle with tech stacks that aren’t integrated, and so they can’t offer a seamless candidate experience,” says Steve Bartel, CEO and Co-Founder at Gem. “And in this world in which talent brand perhaps matters more than ever, no hiring team can afford to overlook talent’s initial experience with their organization. We’re excited for this partnership and this integration because it will give passive talent that easeful experience—without taxing sourcers and recruiters in the process.”
