Use self-paced interviews to assess culture-fit and hard-skills—all without having to pick up the phone.

What is a self-paced interview?

Why recruiters choose self-paced interviews

In a world where chaos is the norm, flexibility has become a non-negotiable for the modern employee—and, unsurprisingly, candidates expect the same.

The Great Resignation has only magnified this demand, forcing recruiters to rethink their approach and shift toward a more candidate-centric model. Enter the self-paced interview: a game-changing solution for recruiters who want to give candidates the flexibility they crave while cutting down on the headaches of scheduling. No more endless back-and-forth to lock down an interview time—a process that can take up to 2 hours per candidate.

Instead, recruiters and candidates alike are free to engage on their own terms.But it doesn't stop there. Self-paced interviews aren't just about convenience; they're about efficiency. You get to evaluate each candidate at your pace, spot top talent faster, and make better hiring decisions—without ever getting lost in the weeds of scheduling chaos. This is the future of hiring, where flexibility meets smarter recruitment.
