Hey humans, let's talk about that hidden bottleneck that's absolutely killing your time to hire: scheduling. We're still playing calendar Tetris, sending those dreaded email chains back and forth. By the time you get everyone in the same virtual room, your perfect candidate has three other offers. This is the administrivia that's costing you top talent. But what if I told you that scheduling isn't your Achilles heel—it's your secret weapon? We're in a new world where a six-day scheduling standard is gold, and companies using automation are slashing their time to hire by 50%.
This isn't just about saving your recruiters 14 to 17 hours a week, this is about the human experience. Think about it: manual scheduling takes 8 to 12 touchpoints for one interview. Automation cuts that down to one or two. That's a better impression of your organization. And here's what most people miss: when you cut that time to hire, your offer acceptance rates go up and your cost per hire drops. This one change affects all of your recruiting metrics.
So, let's dive into it. In this episode, I'm giving you the playbook. We'll talk about the different tools, from enterprise-level products to integrating Calendly. We'll cover the pitfalls and watchouts, and I'll give you a three-step process to run a pilot, starting with your high-volume recs, so you can measure the ROI and make your business case. This is how we get better, faster, smarter.
