GoodTime’s newest AI-powered features help talent teams orchestrate their hiring experience, and keep interviewers, hiring managers, and candidates engaged and informed throughout the hiring journey.

San Francisco – September 3, 2024

GoodTime, a leading provider of human-centric AI for talent teams, today announced the release of Experience+, a new suite of features aimed at orchestrating the entire hiring experience — not just for candidates, but for interviewers and hiring managers as well. The new package, which includes an interviewer portal, an upgraded candidate portal, and AI-assisted scorecards, answers a need for organizations to keep the hiring experience engaging for candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers who are increasingly pressed for time.

A Holistic Approach to the Hiring Experience

A GoodTime survey of over 500 talent acquisition (TA) leaders found that nearly half (45%) anticipate candidate relationship management to become more important over the next year, with more touchpoints needed, more candidates needed, and therefore more time and energy from interviewers and hiring managers.

The Experience+ package addresses the fact that great candidate experiences come from great interviewer experiences.

With features like a dedicated interviewer portal and AI-summarized candidate profiles, interviewers can now leverage human-centric Al to create engaging candidate experiences that help organizations confidently identify and win top talent.

“Hiring teams today face an unprecedented challenge — fewer interviewers, yet more candidates to process. Experience+ is a game-changer, giving them the tools to manage this complexity in an increasingly limited timeframe,” said Charles Mah, Chief Customer and Operations Officer at GoodTime. “With more demands placed on interviewers, it’s crucial to ensure they are well-prepared to deliver an elevated experience and fair opportunity for all candidates. This preparedness not only enhances the candidate experience but also ensures consistency and fairness in the selection process.”

The Experience+ package comes with a highly-anticipated feature set including:

• An interviewer portal: AI-summarized resumes, context about the overall interview process, and action buttons for messaging, joining interviews, and completing scorecards give the hiring team everything they need to prepare for an interview and follow up in a timely manner.
• An advanced candidate portal: Messaging options, built-in feedback collection, and fully customizable branding ensure candidates receive a best-in-class experience every time.
• AI-assisted scorecards: With custom questions, AI-powered scorecard summaries, and the ability to summarize multiple scorecards into consolidated feedback, hiring teams can move with more speed and confidence than ever before.

Details about the new suite of features can be found on GoodTime’s website.

Balancing Efficiency and Human Experience

Ahryun Moon, CEO of GoodTime, emphasized the company’s commitment to human-centric AI as it develops and releases new features: “Our Experience+ package is a direct response to what our customers have been asking for. It’s rooted in our human-centric AI approach, designed to enable human-driven hiring processes with thoughtful, responsible, and exceptionally intuitive AI. At GoodTime, we believe that AI should enhance, not replace, human capabilities. This package is all about making the hiring journey more efficient while preserving the personal, human touch that is essential to building strong, lasting relationships with candidates.”

After surveying 525 talent acquisition leaders across sectors, this new edition of the 2024 Hiring Insights Report focuses on the 100 respondents in technology and highlights a significant increase in hiring goal attainment.

The 2024 Hiring Insights Report, a study of 525 talent acquisition leaders, reveals a persistent struggle with talent retention, a need to automate repetitive tasks, and the strategies top-performing teams used to hit hiring goals in a challenging market.

San Francisco – January 31, 2024

After a trying year that tested talent acquisition (TA) teams in every sector, GoodTime today published the 2024 Hiring Insights Report to reveal top challenges, how TA is evolving, and how top-performing teams hit their hiring goals.

The independently conducted survey of 525 talent, HR, and recruiting leaders across the U.S. shows that hiring teams have faced colossal challenges and pressures that have forced them to evolve quickly to meet the demands of today’s market.

Key findings from the 2024 Hiring Insights Report:

• On average, TA teams hit just 51.3% of their hiring goals in 2023.
• Contrary to perceptions of an employer’s market, 44% of TA leaders said hiring became more competitive in the last 12 months, and 27% reported a lack of qualified candidates as a primary hiring challenge.
• A significant 34% of TA leaders cite talent retention as a top challenge.
• 99% of TA teams are now employing AI and automation.
• Talent teams still spend 35% of their time scheduling interviews alone, among other easily automated tasks.
• Layoffs have significantly affected employee morale. Companies that experienced layoffs in 2023 were about 83% more likely to report fair or poor engagement from employees.

Learning from top-performing TA teams

GoodTime’s report dives into what top-performing teams (defined as those who hit 75% or more of their hiring goals) did differently than the rest of their peers. The report reveals that the top performers were:

• 40% more likely to focus on upgrading hiring technology.
• 24% more likely to prioritize candidate experience improvements.
• 23% more likely to invest in improving overall efficiency.

A major adjustment in return-to-office (RTO) efforts

After persistent tensions around stringent RTO mandates, it seems companies are letting up a bit and compromising with mixed or hybrid working models. TA leaders reported a massive shift from a fully in-office workforce to a mostly in-office approach, with a mix of fully in-office, fully remote, and hybrid workers.

• Of the 525 companies surveyed, only 16% were fully in office in 2023 (compared to 62% the previous year).
• 78% of companies surveyed were mostly in-office, with some hybrid or remote workers.
• Just 1% of respondents said their company was fully remote.

A struggle to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I)

The previous year’s Hiring Insights Report found that 28% of companies planned to make DE&I a measurable priority in 2023, but this year’s report shows that only 24% followed through on that goal. Overall, the number of companies prioritizing DE&I has fallen two years in a row now.

What’s even more concerning is that DE&I is likely to be deprioritized further, with only 24% saying it’s a focus area for 2024.

TA teams are becoming more resilient

While 2023 presented immense hiring challenges, the report also surfaces major opportunities and optimistic trends among TA professionals.

• 45% said time-to-hire remained flat, with 10% saying it decreased.
• On average, TA teams saw a 7% lift in hiring goal attainment over the previous year.
• 90% said they would rate their overall recruiting process as ‘Good’ or ‘Excellent.’

“This is our third year publishing this report, and positive trends are starting to emerge: Hiring tech adoption is accelerating and while teams are getting leaner, they’re also evolving and becoming more resilient for the next set of challenges that come our way,” said Ahryun Moon, CEO & Co-Founder of GoodTime. “TA professionals honed their ability to spot top talent faster. They made processes leaner and smarter. And for many of the leaders surveyed for this report, those actions are paying off. We hope that by sharing these insights, we can help struggling TA teams tap into their resilience in the year ahead.”
