The Ultimate Recruiter Tech Stack for Hiring in 2020
Discover essential software for hiring faster, as well as the benefits of pairing CalendarHero with your recruitment tools.
As any experienced recruiter knows, the first month of the year is a big deal for hiring. Dubbed by LinkedIn as “moving month,” it’s a popular time for employees to call it quits, and one study found that as many as 1 in 5 employees decide to leave their roles in January. There are an array of reasons for this, including personal resolutions, big life moments, and job dissatisfaction.
Either way, employee turnover has a significant impact on companies and McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) suggests that the world could see 40 million too few college-educated workers this year. That only means one thing for employers today: increased competition.
So, it’s crucial that every company builds a recruitment strategy that helps recruiters source, interview, and hire top talent faster. And in 2020, no recruitment strategy is complete without a strong focus on the tech stack you’re using, including how AI and automation can help

What is artificial intelligence and automation?
Automation refers to software (or hardware) that is capable of doing things automatically without any human intervention. Artificial intelligence (AI) is about having software (or machines) mimic and even supersede human behaviour. CalendarHero uses both branches of AI: natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML). Learn more about our technology here.
How does AI or Automation Impact Hiring?
CalendarHero is AI-powered meeting scheduling software that elevates the way people do their jobs by speeding up or removing low-value tasks from their workflows. For recruiters and hiring managers, these tasks include scheduling interviews and meeting-related functions like setting up video conferencing.
By removing friction from scheduling with an AI-powered meeting scheduler and a smart tech stack, recruiters are free to focus on the most critical parts of their job: sourcing candidates, preparing for interviews, and hiring well.
Interview Scheduling Software
Whether you are familiar or new to meeting scheduling software, no scheduling tool is truly beneficial unless it automates your entire meeting scheduling process. As a recruiter, you should be able to automate scheduling for every interview and meeting in your hiring funnel. That includes screening calls, panel interviews, and internal meetings with hiring managers.
To set up meetings and interviews, CalendarHero offers versatile scheduling methods to fit your different meeting goals. You can schedule group meetings through our web scheduler, share a personal scheduling link in emails or LinkedIn messages, or connect CalendarHero to your preferred chat app to book meetings where you work most (view integrations here).
For complex meetings with multiple attendees, CalendarHero’s group algorithm helps you find the best time to meet as quickly as possible. That way, scheduling logistics can take less time in your day, so that you can focus more on engaging candidates and winning them over with your company culture and values.
CalendarHero integrates with multiple calendar providers:
Microsoft Office 365
Apple iCloud
You can sync unlimited calendars to your CalendarHero account to ensure that there is no overlap between your work and personal schedules.
Applicant Tracking Software (ATS)
Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) is the foundation of every recruiter’s tech stack, and nearly 40 percent of employers are already using one. ATS software centralizes your candidate information, helps you track candidate activity, and simplifies knowledge-sharing and collaboration between your hiring team.
CalendarHero integrates with several ATS providers so that you can automatically schedule interviews with candidates synced from your ATS and track your meeting activity. Once you connect your ATS to CalendarHero, you’ll be able to readily access candidate information (resumes, cover letters) in seconds from your meeting briefings and your chat app or email.
CalendarHero integrates with the following ATS providers:
Breezy
Workable
Connecting CalendarHero to your ATS boosts your ability to hire faster by improving the efficiency and accessibility of your ATS.
Video Conferencing Software
Whether you’re interviewing candidates who live around the corner from your office or halfway around the world, video conferencing is a progressive and accessible communication method that ensures you’re widening your candidate pool. It’s an essential part of the recruiter tech stack.
CalendarHero turns the power of your video conferencing software up a notch by giving you the ability to add video conferencing to every meeting automatically. That means you won’t need to manually add a video conferencing link to your meeting invitations or send candidates follow-up instructions on how to access it.
CalendarHero integrates with video providers to help you automatically schedule video interviews and create custom meeting types (ex. “Remote” interview) with video conferencing already added. Your CalendarHero meeting types enable you to add powerful customization to your meetings like lead time (minimum notice before a booking can be made), invitee instructions, buffer time, and custom availability.
CalendarHero integrates with the following video providers:
Connect your video conferencing software to CalendarHero, so that you can automate video meeting scheduling and hire remotely faster.
