LinkedIn launches Scheduler to ease the recruiting process

Scheduling the time to set up an interview can be time-consuming and lead candidates to drop off from the hiring process. LinkedIn, the professional social network website has launched a new tool called Scheduler that eases the hiring process.

Scheduler automates initial interview scheduling for recruiters and candidates, directly via InMail. It helps candidates and recruiters save time spent on scheduling a meeting and helps recruiters focus their energies on hiring strategically and onboarding the best candidate.

The new tool allows sharing your real-time calendar availability directly to your InMail outreach and delight candidates throughout the hiring process by making it easy to schedule or reschedule phone screenings on desktop or mobile. With Scheduler, candidates will never miss their upcoming interviews. It also gives the candidates the ability to feed their contact information to accelerate the hiring process.

Recently, LinkedIn rolled out its career guidance service named "Career Advice" in India. The mentorship program will connect users with mentors who can help them figure out anything to do with their career, whether it’s ideas on how to find a new job, feedback for why they are not getting ahead or feeling satisfied at work, and maybe even to pivot to a new career altogether.
