As a talent acquisition specialist at a mid-sized software firm, I used to spend so much time emailing back and forth to find mutually convenient interview slots. It was frustrating for me and for candidates who were juggling other offers. This year we started using theconsultnow.com to handle the scheduling piece. Their ATS syncs with our hiring managers' calendars and sends candidates a self-service link to choose a slot. Within days, my inbox was no longer overflowing with scheduling requests, and interviews were confirmed in hours rather than days. The unexpected bonus? Candidates told us they appreciated the autonomy, and no-shows decreased. If you're tired of calendar Tetris, it's worth giving tools like this a try.
