What is Chatkick?
We’re thrilled to announce that Chatkick hiring intelligence platform is now available for all teams!
The Chatkick platform provides hiring managers and talent acquisition teams with an AI-based hiring platform that’s long been missing from their hiring processes.
We believe that building and scaling great companies does not happen without finding and hiring the right talent. Doing this requires both a strong talent pipeline and a high-quality candidate interview experience.
Sounds great, right? But how does this all tie back to Chatkick’s product?
At its core, Chatkick is a video interview platform built by passionate hiring managers for (equally passionate) hiring professionals. Chatkick records, transcribes, and analyzes candidate conversations to provide much-needed insights to hiring managers and talent teams to help them source, interview, and hire the right talent.
Chatkick provides teams a wide selection of pre-packed structured interview plans to quickly ramp up the hiring process.
We know recruiting is all about connections, luckily so are we. That’s why Chatkick already integrates with nearly thirty of the most popular Application Tracking Systems (ATS) platforms like Greenhouse, Lever, and Recruitee. Teams can keep using the tools they know and trust while taking advantage of Chatkick.
What Chatkick Is Not
- We are NOT an ATS. While Chatkick does offer some ATS-like features, customers will get the most out of our tool by using our deep API integrations into their ATS vendor of choice. Educating yourself on the existing ATS Completion Rate will improve your integrations.
- We are not a 1-way or asynchronous video platform. In fact, we’ve heard firsthand concerns about the poor candidate experience these tools deliver and skepticism about their intended ROI.
- We are not an HCM or onboarding tool. Our focus is on the interview process and candidate feedback cycle rather than onboarding or employee management.
- We are NOT a recruiting agency or RPO. We are a software company that builds products to help teams of all sizes, and from all industries, hire the right candidates up to 3x faster.
Why Chatkick?
Hiring is harder than it’s ever been. Teams competing for talent today face three unprecedented challenges:
- Maintaining hybrid and remote-friendly hiring processes
- Candidate-driven market dynamics
- Evolving interviewing and hiring compliance requirements
Remote Teams Need Remote Tools
Until recently, most hiring processes relied on in-office teams, panel interviews, and consistent time zones. With the recent acceleration of hybrid and remote workplaces, interview processes and tools must be reimagined.
Remote teams today are suffering from Zoom fatigue and burnout due to an overwhelming number of virtual meetings. Hiring tools up until now have been built around the old paradigm of synchronous hiring processes where candidate feedback only came from participants able to sit in on the interview.
Teams today need to be able work asynchronously – often with fewer resources – to keep the company moving forward. Chatkick’s ability to record, transcribe, and transform interviews into collaborative feedback workspaces for team members anywhere around the world solves this calendar challenge.
Thanks to Chatkick, having five to eight interviewers speak to candidates before making a decision is no longer needed. One or two interviews can provide enough information to make a rapid, yet informed decision all while drastically reducing the time resources typically required.
A Candidate-Driven Market
Labor shortages are impacting all verticals with no signs of slowing down this year. This will require teams to re-evaluate new hire compensation plans. While increasing pay is generally good, the struggle to attract talent goes well beyond the salary and benefits an organization offers.
In a candidate-driven market, delivering consistent and professional candidate experiences is the leading factor to winning the war for talent.
A recent survey by CareerPlug found that 58% of job seekers said they’ve declined a job offer because of a poor experience during the hiring process. Chatkick’s structured interviews and coaching tools will ensure your company’s candidate experience remains exceptional.
Compliance Is Evolving
Recent state-level legislation has banned interviewers from requesting a candidate’s prior compensation history, and there are dozens of commonly-used interview questions and practices that can easily drift into legal gray areas. Companies engaging in government contracting or cross-border commerce may be at an additional risk when it comes to interviewing.
With the acceleration of distributed teams, staying on top of legislative changes can be challenging. Chatkick’s recording and analysis can give your leadership team peace of mind by offering full visibility into and evidence for each and every interview.
Who is Chatkick For?
Hiring is a team sport. While we designed our core product specifically for hiring managers and the teams they lead, Chatkick is a powerful weapon for talent acquisition teams, founders, and external recruiting agencies.
Most hiring managers we have spoken to struggle to use or benefit from their ATS. We set out to solve hiring managers’ main problem: **Hiring great talent quickly without wasting their team’s time. **
Talent acquisition teams, particularly recruiting coordinators, find immense value in the schedule coordination and feedback process built into Chatkick. No more waiting around for feedback forms to get filled out. Simply listen to the actual candidate conversation.
Founders also gain peace of mind, knowing their team is accurately representing the company vision. They can even hop into a process and leave their feedback for the rest of the team to consider before making a candidate decision.
