After Aegis recruiters reported that fewer potential hires were answering their phones, the firm decided to try texting. Since March, Indianapolis-based Aegis and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/quotes.wsj.com\/PCLN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Priceline Group<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0restaurant-booking service OpenTable have been using Canvas, a messaging app from Canvas Talent Inc. for text-based job interviews.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><em><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oliver-dev.s3.amazonaws.com\/thumbs\/500x500\/86bd3f19-7cef-43c0-8341-c5ab49c4ba30.jpeg\" \/><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong><em>image : Linkedin\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3><strong>3 reasons why text interviews make good sense<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1. <strong>Improving the time to fill rate. \u00a0<\/strong>It has been taking companies longer and longer to fill jobs. In fact, the average time-to-hire for white-collar positions is now at 68 business days, or 26 days longer than it was in 2010. I don\u2019t know how much that early stage text interviews are going to improve that, but they surely are one step that will help to get people hired more quickly \u2014 and improving\u00a0time to fill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. \u00a0<strong>A better\u00a0candidate experience.<\/strong> That\u2019s not a big surprise, but what is a shock is that more organizations aren\u2019t using text interviews, and text communication in general, to stay in close touch with candidates. It\u2019s a perfect way to not only engage them but also to make the candidate experience just that much better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. \u00a0<strong>It adds a very personal touch<\/strong>. Texting is a lot more personal, and anything personal gets the candidate out of the\u00a0environment that seems to permeate so much of the recruiting scene today. When you can get more personal, you learn a lot more about the candidate. In my experience, that dramatically improves your hiring batting average.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The time is right for shifting to an \u201cinterview from anywhere\u201d approach, where text-interviewing is one additional option. Even if you use face-to-face interviews for the final interview, consider text interviewing for at least the initial interview. This is because it has so many advantages, including a higher quality of hire, less bias, a lower cost per hire as a result of lower travel costs, a reduced environmental impact, an improved candidate experience, and a shorter time to fill.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when texting is all the rage, jump on the bandwagon and add it to your list of interview options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Better get going before you get left behind.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Credit information : The Wall Street Journal<\/p>\n<p>Credit information : Recruiting daily<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wall Street Journal Say : Recruiters Are Screening  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16742,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized-th"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
