How Do You – Interview?

Blog,

Why is it important to have standardized interview integrations? What does it do?

Standardizing the data exchanged between systems during the interview process increases productivity, improves the interviewees experience, and reduces data errors.

The purpose of the HR Open Interviewing Standard is to define communications that occur between the interviewing tool, the ATS/CRA, interviewer, and the candidate. Our case studies provide descriptions on ordering and scheduling the interview, questions to ask (without an interviewer) and how to process the result.

Currently, our interview work group is working on Synchronous Use Cases including the following:

  • Order Synchronous Interview
  • Schedule Synchronous Interview
  • Order Synchronous Interview for Preplanned Event
  • Synchronous Interview Cancel or Reschedule Request

In our last newsletter we discussed the process of Ordering a Synchronous Interview. The next step is Scheduling the Synchronous Interview; here the recruiter has found the perfect candidate and identifies the exact time and date for the interview, the interviewers, and the candidate. This triggers the recruiter to the system user interface where the system verifies it has all the information needed to order the interview and will create the interview request. The interviewing (or requesting) system handles interview participant communication and invites the interview participant to the interview.

The interview work group meets weekly to develop the standards for the case systems. If you’re interested in joining any of these groups please contact us at info@hropenstandards.org.
