We just had our best quarter in candidate.fyi history, growing revenues by 56% from the previous quarter. Here are the 4 biggest reasons we attribute this to: 1. Hiring picking back up - We’ve seen hiring significantly rebound compared to last year - As employers are hiring again, recruiting teams are looking for ways to do so efficiently 2. Employers are continuing to adapt to complex global scheduling - Companies are continuing to hire globally - Global hiring introduces complex scheduling needs due to factors such as time zones - Automation tools are essential to handle this complexity 3. Competitors dropping the ball with support - Some of our competitors haven’t prioritized customer support - This has sent customers looking for alternative solutions - We continue to prioritize customer support, which is something the market values 4. We’re solving multiple pain points for customers - Customers don’t want just another tool to add to their arsenal. Onboarding a niche product is too time-consuming - We’re providing a comprehensive solution that addresses multiple pain points, like scheduling automation and candidate experience What’s the takeaway? It’s a combination of macro and micro factors contributing to our success We can’t control the macro factors, but staying focused on what we can control allows us to accelerate when the tides turn Looking forward to an even better Q4!

I 2nd what Tom Davies said! 🙋♀️ I've been using candidate.fyi for 3.5 months, it's the real-deal super tool for candidates, recruiters, recruiting leaders, and hiring leaders!

#NotAnAd For the past 6 months, I've been using candidate.fyi and it’s been an absolute game changer. Here's why... 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞.𝐟𝐲𝐢: ❌ Scheduling tools that struggled with multi-day interviews   ❌ Bland confirmation emails, lacking personalisation & employer branding   ❌ Only 12% of candidates responded to post-interview surveys   ❌ Zero real-time visibility into candidate feedback 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞.𝐟𝐲𝐢: ✅ Effortless scheduling: multi-day, self-scheduling links, buffer times, and debriefs auto-scheduled   ✅ Seamless team collaboration with shared emails   ✅ Branded candidate portals with interview timelines & what-to-expect guides that drive exceptional candidate experiences ✅ REAL-TIME candidate feedback & pulse surveys—45% response rate! I’m geeking out a little (okay, a lot! 🥸) because this tool has levelled up even in the last 6 months and it was 🔥 to begin with. If you care about delivering a standout candidate experience, this is worth your attention. 👀 Shoutout to the Candidate.fyi team—keep doing what you're doing!

Do recruiters actually care about a candidate's experience? We dug into the data to find out For some background - with candidate.fyi, candidates have the ability to rate each stage of their interview process We wanted to find the average score of just the stages where the candidate was meeting with a recruiter. This wasn't so easy - we had to do a bit of normalization since these interviews can have different names, but we were able to make it work The result? Recruiter screens had an average score of 4.66 The overall average? 4.53 What does this tell us? On average, candidates have a better experience speaking with recruiters than the average interview Question answered - recruiters definitely seem to care!

I got coffee with a candidate.fyi customer yesterday and dug into why they chose us What I did hear: - We were innovative - We were collaborative - We were supportive I didn't hear: - We had the most features - We were the cheapest - We were the biggest The world (and our industry) constantly evolves Features come and go What our customers really want is a true partner they can rely on & trust to support them with the never-ending (and constantly evolving) list of challenges thrown at them

Say hello to using candidate.fyi in real life (IRL) with the launch of our recruiting events! Special thanks to Emily Baer Cohen and the Yext Campus Recruiting team for working closely with us on this! Here’s the scenario: Recruiting events can be chaotic - there’s so much that has to get done in such a short period of time Meeting hundreds or even thousands of candidates in just a day or two Then immediately scheduling interviews with them right after There’s so much to do How do you capture their information? How do you track who has attended the event? How do you schedule follow-up sessions to interview them? How do you ensure they’re all having a great experience? This has often been extremely manual, leading to late nights and stress for recruiting teams But now, with candidate.fyi, that’s all changed Introducing our recruiting events feature: Each recruiting event automatically generates a QR code to display at the event Candidates scan, apply, and check in (yes, this syncs with your ATS) You can then view all candidates who have checked in and, with one click, invite them to self-schedule an interview with someone from the team Want to provide candidates with a best-in-class experience? Each one can automatically be invited to the candidate.fyi candidate portal immediately after applying/checking in Sleepless nights? Gone. Stress? Gone. Seamless in-person check-ins and scheduling? Check. World-class candidate experience? Check.

We're excited to welcome Mateusz Sikora as the newest member of the candidate.fyi team! Mateusz is joining as a member of the engineering team, where he's bringing his 10 years of experience to help us create even more powerful experiences for our customers. Join us in welcoming Mateusz!

Showcasing our Interviewer Pools feature at candidate.fyi! For certain types of interviews, there can be a whole group of potential interviewers Whether this is a certain technical screen or even something like a culture interview The problem? Maintaining this group of interviewers is tricky You need to keep track of: - Who is in it - What each interviewer's scheduling preferences are (times of day, days of week, max number of interviews they want to do) - How many interviews they’re doing to effectively balance the load Then let's not forget taking this all into account to see who is available at the point of scheduling With our Interviewer Pools feature, this is all taken care of Simply tag different interviewers together Then just include that tag as the interviewer for your interview Everything else is taken care of. We will automatically: - Take into account interviewers’ preferences - Look through all interviewers’ availability - Load balance to ensure the load is being evenly distributed Simple & easy!
