Trouble Scheduling Interviews?

For companies that are suffering from candidate “ghosting” – i.e., not showing up – the following tips are offered from “HR Takeaways”:

• Embrace self-scheduling software: Candidates drop off early when scheduling is difficult—automate it with online tools to reduce friction.

• Prioritize electronic interviews: Virtual interviews increase attendance and can be recorded, reviewed, and scheduled around work hours.

• Offer after-hours flexibility: Interviewing after work or on weekends shows empathy and boosts show-up rates from time-crunched professionals.

• Survey for missed interview insights: Postmortem surveys reveal why top candidates bail—use this data to tweak and optimize continuously.
