Hiring platform ZipRecruiter is launching a new tool, called ZipIntro, to let employers schedule introductory calls with potential candidates at a set time. The tool will also help recruiters suggest potential candidates using AI.
Employers can input information about the role and select a date and time for introductory calls. After that, ZipIntro matches them with potential candidates using AI and sends them an invitation for the call. The tool takes into account employment, education, skills, certifications, interests, and types of jobs users are looking for while matching.
Employers can review these responses from candidates, further screen candidates, and line up back-to-back calls. ZipRecruiter then allows employers to connect with candidates through one-on-one video calls on the platform.
The company said these intro sessions are typically 30-minute to 1-hour long, with each intro call lasting about five minutes. It noted that while these are initial screening calls, some organizations also use this tool to hire high-volume roles that may require fewer interview stages.
ZipRecruiter noted that with ZipIntro, employers get their first RSVP from candidates within 20 minutes of posting the job requirement.
“With ZipIntro, recruiters and hiring managers can forge those critical connections faster to assess the true potential of each candidate,” Megan Allen, SVP of product at ZipRecruiter said in a statement. “For job seekers, we’re excited to provide them with the opportunity to speak with an employer faster, allowing them to showcase their true personality, soft skills, and passion.”
The company is not the only platform utilizing AI to make the hiring process easier. Indeed is also using AI to help people write about their job experiences. Microsoft-owned LinkedIn has deployed an AI tool to help recruiters write better job descriptions.
