NOTTINGHAM, England,
Aug. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Recruiters send 3 or more emails to schedule one interview,
according to a recent survey by Cronofy and JobAdder.
This means that if it takes 15 minutes to check their
availability then write an email, they lose 45 minutes to
scheduling one interview.
If a hiring manager interviews five people for a role, that's
7.5 hours – or almost an entire working day – lost to scheduling
interviews for a single vacancy.
However, the survey shows that 61% of companies use a two-person
interview panel. Between those two employees, they'll lose up to 14
hours to scheduling one interview.
With most businesses conducting multi-part interviews for roles,
this quickly adds up to recruiters losing an entire working week
just to scheduling interviews. This time that they spend on admin
tasks leaves them with less time to spend on the real reason they
were hired – finding the best person for a role.
"The survey makes it clear that a staggering number of employees
lose time to scheduling tasks that can be streamlined. Integrating
scheduling into recruitment workflows frees up days of extra time
every year. Companies hire faster, save money, and scale sooner,"
says Adam Bird, CEO of Cronofy.
"It's situations like this that inspired us to create our service
and continue to drive us to make it simple to integrate
scheduling."
Other findings from the survey:
- 90% of recruiters have to send 2 or more emails or make 2 or
more phone calls to schedule an interview
- 64% of recruiters take 2 or more days to schedule an
interview
- 41% take 3 or more days to schedule an interview
- 26% take 4 or more days to schedule an interview
- 11% take a full week or longer to schedule
The survey asked 272 external recruiters what their experiences
were with interviews and interview scheduling.
