Interview Management

A panel interview involves a candidate being interviewed by multiple interviewers at once, often from different areas of the company. This approach allows for a diverse evaluation of the candidate’s skills and fit within the organisation.

An asynchronous interview is a flexible interviewing format where candidates record their responses to predetermined questions on their own time, without live interaction with interviewers. This method facilitates scheduling flexibility and streamlines the initial screening process for organisations.

Reach ATS software supports a variety of interview formats to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of your recruitment process.

Panel Interviews
The platform enables multiple interviewers to participate seamlessly. It supports scheduling that accommodates all panel members and provides access to candidate profiles and documents. Interviewers can independently input feedback, which is then consolidated for decision-making.

Asynchronous Interviews
Through our partnership with Willo, Reach facilitates async interviews, allowing candidates to answer questions at their convenience. This is ideal for initial screenings or when dealing with different time zones. The platform stores video responses for the hiring team to review later, which makes the recruitment process more flexible and accommodating for both candidates and interviewers.

Reach also supports more common types of interview such as One-on-One Interviews (online or in person), Group Interviews, Informal Interviews, Case Interviews and Sequential Interviews.

The Reach ATS Interview Management Platform enhances candidate engagement during the interview process by providing:

Automated Scheduling: facilitates convenient interview scheduling for candidates and interviewers.

Timely Communication: Sends automated text and email reminders and updates to keep candidates informed.

Personalised Experience: Customises the interview process to match candidate preferences and requirements.

Teams Integration: Automatically schedule and send Microsoft Teams interview arrangements to candidates and interviewers.

Optional Feedback Integration: Allows candidates to receive timely and constructive feedback post-interview.

Reach ATS includes flexible interview scheduling tools for both candidates and interviewers.

If a candidate needs to cancel or reschedule their interview, the candidate simply logs into their portal and follows the simple to use scheduling tool. The same goes for interviewers – they log into their Hiring Manager portal and use their scheduling tools. Automated notifications are sent to all parties when any changes occur.

If the interview is to be conducted over Teams, the changes will automatically update in both parties calendars.

Cancellation policies can be accommodated to maintain compliance e.g. no cancellations of the day of the interview.

With Reach ATS, you can tailor interview questions and formats specific to each role or department.

By allowing you to set unique assessment standards and metrics based on a role’s specific requirements, the interview evaluation criteria can be role specific too.

You can adjust the number and type of interview stages to fit the complexity or seniority of the position and even grant permission to different departments to manage their own interview processes independently.

The Reach Interviewing Platform is designed for accessibility, ensuring candidates with disabilities can fully participate. It adheres to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 offering customisable settings for enhanced visual and auditory accessibility and supports assistive technologies including keyboard navigation and captioning for audio and video content.

Reach is fully mobile compatible and candidates can book their interview directly from their phone.
