I've literally never had an opinion on scheduling software, it's not something I'd ever spare a thought for. But holy crap is this thing awful. Somehow presenting your candidates a simple calendar ends up taking their site ages. I just spent 10 minutes refreshing and waiting for spinners selecting a date and time, that's 1/4th the time the interview I'm scheduling will take! And I feel like this is probably something your company wouldn't think about either which is why I'm ranting about it lol. Like it's just annoying enough that your candidate will notice, but not so annoying they'll tell you. So here you go lol, if you use goodtime.io the first interaction your candidates are having with you is kinda shitty. - It's also really buggy, like for reason if you try and leave the tab while it's spending a minute presenting a calendar, it breaks! It will wrongly present a calendar with no openings! And this is on an iPhone in Safari, not some oddball no-js browser or something. I swear the way tech companies fuck up their core competencies never ceases to amaze. Make a startup around scheduling interviews and somehow manage to make the worlds first unacceptably slow calendar invite? I almost want a case study into how they managed to shit the bed this hard, because they're not even a major scheduling platform or something, they do tech interviews, they probably have 1/1000000000th the traffic of a normal scheduling app! What is the page even doing? Is it just rendering slow? Are they loading the current schedule off a tape backup? #goodtime #interview #scheduling
💯 agree! You wouldn't believe how expensive is it either. I'm in RecOps and I've seen all of them, much happier we went with a start up.
Never had any issues with goodtime. I always find availability easily and its way better than giving them a bunch of dates on email
I mean I can't remember the last time someone gave me a list of *dates I get something like Goodtime (usually Calendly like another comment mentioned) and I agree when it works correctly it's great But I don't know, for some reason it was just nails on chalkboard slow, and it took me a good few minutes to realize it was breaking in subtle ways whenever I left the tab (I timed it and it was 51 seconds uninterrupted to get a date then time to show up, if you're wondering why I kept leaving the tab)
You don't use Outlook?
Lol I can't tell if you're messing with me but I use Gmail/GCal But goodtime.io isn't even doing that part, all it does is send you calendar invite and presumably let the company know "hey, have an engineer ready for this candidate for this position" So their traffic is limited to just a few hits per candidate, not like something like Outlook/GCal where you keep going back to check it lol
