New York is giving us a sneak peek of spring as I write this, and I’ve gotta say, it’s cold and wet, and I’ve turned the heat back on in my house 😂. On a personal note, my family is gearing up for a move to Charleston, South Carolina, and we’re so excited about it.

What a ride it’s been since we launched candidate.fyi! It’s like the moment we went live, the buzz just took off. Everyone was waiting for a platform like this.

The ‘Domino’s Pizza Tracker’ for candidates has transformed into so much more with the release of our interview scheduling automation.

If you’re new to our circle, hey, I’m Chris Connors - co-founder of candidate.fyi, and your guide through the murkiness of candidate engagement and scheduling tools. To our returning friends, you’re the real MVPs. Buckle up because we’re about to dive into some pretty neat updates.

Thanks for being here, really. It’s a mixtape of perspectives that make this wild ride worth it—whether you’re in the trenches with us, cheering from the bleachers, or just stopping by, your energy keeps this thing spinning.

Interview Requests Dashboard

We’re excited to announce our new weekly showcase! Every week, we’ll give you an insider’s view of the different parts of our product and features, complete with screenshots or live demos.

This week, we spotlight our “My Interview Requests” dashboard within the candidate.fyi scheduling module - a game-changer for recruiting coordination teams.

Say goodbye to the hassle of toggling between multiple screens and emails to manage your scheduling requests. Our intuitive interface aggregates all your active scheduling requests on an easy-to-navigate dashboard.

We’ve incorporated visual cues to guide coordinators smoothly through their workflow. Notice something in red? That’s our nifty way to signal that an item requires your immediate attention.

Created with busy coordinators in mind, this dashboard ensures you’re always on top of your game, and nothing slips through the cracks! And I have to say, watching those red items turn green is more satisfying than a morning cup of coffee.

Insights into the Interview Experience

One of the most telling stats from our insights into the interview experience report was that even for candidates who were not ultimately selected, the pulse survey data reveals a respectable average score of 4.54

This suggests that the interview experience, despite the outcomes, was generally positive.

Maintaining a positive experience for candidates who may reapply or refer others is essential for building a strong talent pipeline
