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.
