Peopleclick Introduces Interview Scheduling as Part of its Talent Acquisition Suite

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Peopleclick, Inc., the leading global talent acquisition solutions provider, announced today the launch of Peopleclick Interview Scheduling at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, IL. Peopleclick Interview Scheduling is a new component of Peopleclick’s Talent Acquisition Suite that will enhance a company’s interview scheduling experience for both the recruiter and candidate.

The Peopleclick Interview Scheduling product provides a flexible self-service solution for scheduling and accepting large volumes of interview invitations online, creating expedited coordination between the recruiter and candidate during the interview scheduling phase of the hiring process. Peopleclick’s innovative focus on the employer’s brand and candidate experience is exemplified with this new product and the flexibility it gives clients to define the content of candidate-facing pages.

"We have worked closely with Peopleclick to help design the new Interview Scheduling product, ensuring that it provides a streamlined experience for candidates and hiring managers alike," said Jez Langhorn, UK Head of Talent and Education for McDonald's Restaurants Limited. "We expect to see a significant reduction in our time-to-hire metrics as we roll out this next integrated component of our Peopleclick solution."

The key elements of the new solution include:

• Candidate Self-Service – Provide the candidate the ability to select the date and time of their own interview, reschedule or withdraw online. Provide information and directions to the candidate upfront, giving them more confidence and visibility into the hiring process.
• Constant Collaboration – Keep everyone informed of the interview schedule, including confirmations and changes, through email messages sent to candidates, recruiters and managers. Transmit updates and reminders via optional text messaging.
• Automated Process – Interviewers set up their schedule quickly using interview templates. Using templates ensures that all candidates see a consistent message during each stage of the interview process.
• Unique High Volume Scale – Interviewers who benefit from a predictable and recurring interview schedule, such as McDonald’s restaurant managers, can have candidates from all positions compete for the same dates and times. Whether the manager hires for one or one hundred positions simultaneously, their availability can be managed in a central location. This capability is vital to the success of large scale events such as store openings, career fairs and open houses.

“Interview Scheduling is a key expansion of our Talent Acquisition Suite that creates new channels of communication between the company and candidate, while providing our clients the ability to work more effectively and efficiently with their potential hires.” said Ginny Gomez, senior vice president of product management. “Supporting both franchised and non-franchised environments, this solution facilitates high-volume hiring of candidates at store openings, open houses, job fairs and even campus events.”

Interview Scheduling is offered as an integrated solution with Peopleclick RMS™ and Peopleclick High Volume. Visit www.peopleclick.com or call 877.820.4400 to learn more about this and other Peopleclick products and services.
