Similar to describing taste or flavors, the ability for a recruiter to articulate what stood out on a phone screen, will never compare with a hiring manager hearing a candidate’s answer for themselves.

Phone Interview Data. Now we’re talking.. All of the interview data & insights below came from a regular phone interview between a recruiter and a job seeker. For this interview, we asked a few questions from a default QA Automation Engineer interview script in the system. The candidate spoke over their cell phone, and the recruiter spoke through […]

Last year, the image below was making its rounds on social media. It’s an excellent visualization of how even a simple solid object can be seen from unique perspectives. Getting two parties to agree on whether this was a cube or a cylinder, would be nearly impossible. Candidates are complex. When I think about today’s interview process to […]

Staffing agency recruiters and internal corporate recruiters have a lot in common. While the incentive structures are different, at the end of the day, both professionals are motivated to source, screen and submit the best candidates to their clients. It’s really a symbiotic relationship. Internal recruiters need to prove their worth, by demonstrating they can […]

We often forget about the hiring manager experience. Ironically though, neglecting the hiring manager experience only worsens the candidate experience.

We often talk about the skills gap in America. The idea that the qualified talent ‘supply’ of the US population does not meet the qualified talent ‘demanded’ by U.S. companies. There are plenty of recent, interesting and complicated articles that debate this claim. However, I’d argue the increasingly murky definition of ‘qualifications’ for many jobs in the […]

The Honeit team has been fortunate to work with General Assembly San Francisco user experience design students on two unique projects.

As an HR Technology enthusiast and recruiting practitioner, the idea of requiring candidates to record themselves answer one-way interview questions has always troubled me. I’ve always considered one-way video interviews to be a terrible candidate experience that deter the best and brightest and that send the wrong message to my executive team. If you’ve ever […]

We want to thank all of our customers and partners for making 2015 such a great year for Honeit. In 2016, we’re thrilled to continue our mission to re-engineer today’s interview experience, by creating new tools to help hiring teams and recruiters improve the interview experience for candidates and clients. As a special treat for […]

After conducting thousands of phone interviews to date… it becomes a challenge to remember what’s unique, and what distinguishes one candidate from the next. In many cases, a recruiter’s day is filled with back to back interviews, which leaves no time to consolidate notes and formally introduce candidates to clients and hiring managers, before jumping on the next call. […]

After your phone interview, it’s easy to submit candidates to multiple clients or hiring managers through Honeit.com. Just select the candidate(s) you’d like to share. Choose which interview highlights (audio excerpts from your phone screen) you’d like to include, along with their resume, skill tags and interview summary. Voila!

Now you can finally capture 100% of a candidate’s LIVE answers during phone calls, then share the highlights with clients or hiring managers. There’s no better way to build trust and add credibility to every candidate submittal, by including […]

With innovation all around us, it’s staggering to think that phone interviews have never evolved. There’s a lot of talk about data-driven hiring, but the most valuable information we can get is from the candidates themselves. We’re not talking about padded resumes or self-proclaimed social profiles. I’m talking about a candidate’s off-the-cuff responses and impromptu answers that showcase […]

After a 30 minute phone screen, why does the interview experience require phone interviews with an Account Manager, the Internal Recruiter & Hiring Manager?

How can recruiters be expected to screen talent against a variety of increasingly specialized roles across an organization?

Hiring Managers – are you tired of re-screening every candidate a recruiter sends you? We have a solution that’s great for you and great for candidates.

For Recruiters, telephones are a must have. Headsets are nice to have. Real-time phone interview software is new to have.

“The Telephone Game” from our childhood is remarkably similar to phone interviews and the interview process of today, full of misinterpretation and miscommunication each step of the way.

The fourth time’s a charm. After three attempts to find the right technical co-founder to build a software business, it was AngelList that introduced me to James Craft & Kim Duong – TWO technical co-founders and Honeit, Inc. was born. James and Kim are experienced software engineers who met 15 years ago while pursuing their computer science […]

After thousands of candidate phone interviews, it’s still tough to determine who makes a great fit for a particular role, team and company.

The term “Recruiter” sure gets thrown around a lot. In most cases it’s a catch-all for anyone involved in the process of sourcing, attracting, screening and selling working professionals on new job opportunities. Recruiting is Sales. Recruiting is Marketing. Recruiting is a Negotiation. But the decision to change jobs is far greater than the decision […]
