Tools built for real, live conversations rather than recorded one-way responses.
The phone screen is the most important step of the hiring process. A candidate’s first conversation with your company sets the tone, sets expectations, and sets the talent bar for your organization.
Honeit co-founder Nick Livingston had the opportunity to write a guest blog post on RecruitingTools.com about the challenge of articulating what makes a candidate great to another recruiter, a hiring manager or a staffing customer. Here’s a quick teaser… How does your company describe “great” talent? I’d say you know talent when you hear it, but articulating why someone […]
Introducing.. The Recruiter Huddle. After a day of back-to-back phone screens, have a quick stand-up (or sit down) with your immediate recruiting squad, to review the day’s candidate conversations. For the first time ever… recruiters can quickly share a few audio excerpts from the day’s phone screens for feedback and to review the highs and lows (good […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
