So we added a control to adjust column widths on the candidate action and interview pages:

JobScore remembers the width you set, so the next time you visit a page on the same computer in the same browser, things will be exactly as you left them.

The post Resizable Columns on Two Pages appeared first on JobScore.

We also added the “stage type” workflow attribute. Stage types are used to count the total number of screens and interviews.

Stage types are critical for US federal contractors because “Screens” and “Interviews” must be reported on for OFFCP compliance, and are used to generate the applicant log detail report.

Finally, you can now edit active workflow stage names to be whatever you want, so you have 100% flexibility and control.

Just like in the candidate forms beta, questions can be reordered and made optional or required.

If you choose to be notified when a scheduling request is completed the candidate’s answers will be included in confirmation notification emails.

Answers will be recorded on the actions tab on candidate records in the self-schedule card:

The post Questions in self-scheduling requests appeared first on JobScore.

• The status of interview scheduling requests is not shown in JobScore.
• The candidate’s workflow stage is not automatically updated in JobScore when interviews are scheduled.
• Useful JobScore links are not added to published calendar events.
• There’s a per-seat cost for every interviewer.

JobScore is eliminating these compromises and costs by launching interview self-scheduling. Here’s how it works:

1. You send candidates emails with a link to self-schedule an interview through JobScore.
2. The candidate clicks to visit a secure, branded page where they can see the interviewer’s free/busy.
3. The candidate selects a date and time.

Voila! When a candidate confirms a time:

1. A task is created in JobScore
2. An event is added to the interviewer’s Microsoft or Google-powered work calendar with a link to an interview template and a video conference link.
3. A calendar invite is sent to the candidate’s personal calendar with interview details and a video conference link.

If you choose to do so:

• The candidate’s workflow stage is updated in JobScore
• Users are notified when interviews are scheduled

You can send interview self-scheduling requests from the new More Actions card on the Candidate Action page:

We also launched self-schedule templates because it’s common to send similar scheduling requests over and over. These templates control:

• Communication preferences (by selecting an email template)
• Interview scheduling preferences (by selecting a task template)
• Which interview to run (by selecting an interview template)
• Conferencing preferences (whether to insert a Google Meet link, Microsoft Teams link, Zoom link, or a phone number)
• Workflow preferences (whether to automatically update the candidate’s workflow stage when an interview is scheduled)
• Notification preferences (who to notify when an interview is scheduled)

To make it easier to get started with self-scheduling we’ve added a sample template for manager interviews to your account. In order to make the templates work with one click, we’ve also inserted a new email and task template. You can see these templates here >>

To make it easy for everyone to understand what to do next, you can assign self-scheduling templates to workflow stages. This allows your team to send powerful, customized self-scheduling requests with one click, as well as send requests in bulk:

JobScore records self-scheduling requests and shows their status, so everyone knows what’s going on. Pending scheduling requests are shown whenever you review candidates, and a list of pending scheduling requests is shown on the homepage for your convenience:

Self-scheduled interviews can easily be rescheduled. Links to reschedule are included in the candidate’s calendar event, the interviewer’s calendar event, and the JobScore user experience:

Finally, every user can control what times candidates can schedule interviews on their calendar. Each user’s interview scheduling availability control can be accessed from their My Settings page:

To start using self-scheduling you’ll need to:

• Be on the Jobscore SCALE or ENTERPRISE plan
• Install the Microsoft or Google calendar integration
• Use the new More Actions card on the Candidate Action page as shown above, and streamline things with scheduling templates.

If you installed the Google Calendar integration more than 6 months ago you may need to uninstall and reinstall the JobScore Google Marketplace App to use self-scheduling. Instructions on how to uninstall and reinstall are here >>

The post Interview Self-Scheduling appeared first on JobScore.

In the past few years it’s become commonplace for employers to share access to employee’s calendars and allow candidates to schedule their own interviews. We’ve seen many of you insert links from paid tools like Calendly into your email templates to do this. While this works, it requires compromises like:

• Not including links to JobScore interview templates in calendar events
• Not having interviews recorded in JobScore
• Not updating the JobScore workflow to reflect that interviews were scheduled
• An added cost paid to 3rd party vendors for every user

So, we’ve added the ability for candidates to schedule their own interviews through JobScore in the new user experience. Here’s how it works:

1. You send the candidate a link by email through JobScore
2. The candidate clicks to visit a secure, branded, JobScore-hosted page where they can see the interviewer’s free/busy
3. The candidate selects a date and time

The candidate-facing scheduling experience includes your company logo and careers site branding. When a candidate confirms a time:

• A task is created in JobScore
• An event is added to the interviewer’s work calendar with a link to an interview template and a video conference link
• An event is added to the candidate’s personal calendar with interview details and a video conference link

Candidate self-scheduling is currently in closed beta. Please email support@jobscore.com if you’d like to be among the first to try it out.

You can also toggle to see another user’s homepage. This helps when you’re flummoxed when a teammate isn’t doing what you need them to, because now you can easily see what they see on their own homepage:

We’ve seen transparency be a powerful motivational tool. Sometimes just knowing that your co-workers can see that you are holding things up is enough to get someone to change their behavior.

We hope these improvements help you streamline and accelerate your hiring.
