ITSUMEN Introduces New Deadline Feature to Enhance Interview Process and Maximize Applicant Reach

Enhancing Applicant Reach with ITSUMEN

In today’s digital-driven world, employers are continuously seeking innovative methods to optimize their hiring processes, especially when it comes to accommodating candidates outside conventional hours. Recognizing the growing need for flexibility, ITSUMEN has recently rolled out a new functionality that allows employers to set deadlines for recorded interview responses. This feature aims to ensure that potential applicants, especially those seeking part-time or temporary positions, are not lost due to scheduling conflicts.

What is the Deadline Setting Function?

The new deadline setting feature allows employers to establish a response period tailored to their hiring schedules. Employers can utilize this feature while setting up interview templates, giving applicants clear visibility regarding when submissions need to be completed. This not only streamlines the process, but it effectively reduces the chances of communication delays that can often lead to candidate drop-offs post-application.

ITSUMEN: The Future of Interviewing

ITSUMEN (イツメン) is designed to bridge the gap between employers and applicants by allowing for interviews to be conducted at any time. Whether it's during non-business hours or weekends, this tool ensures that employers can capture candidates who might have otherwise slipped through the cracks due to rigid interview schedules. By eliminating the need for in-person interviewers and cumbersome scheduling, ITSUMEN facilitates a more efficient hiring process.

This innovative recorded interview platform is particularly beneficial for companies looking to hire temporary staff, part-time workers, or those in event-based roles. By providing a simplified and automated method for conducting interviews, ITSUMEN aligns well with modern hiring trends.

Reducing Drop-Off Rates

The primary concern for many employers during the hiring cycle is candidate abandonment, especially after submitting an application. One of the main reasons candidates withdraw from the process is the delay in communication and scheduling for interviews after applying. ITSUMEN addresses this issue directly by ensuring candidates can quickly transition from application to interview completion. The system allows rapid registration and interview finalization, keeping candidates engaged throughout the process, thus maximizing applicant retention.

Cost Efficiency

Adopting ITSUMEN is not only practical; it’s cost-effective too. Employers can experience a hiring cost of under 20,000 yen per active employee, making it an attractive solution for businesses looking to boost their recruitment efforts without breaking the bank. The straightforward pricing model starts from 19,800 yen per month (21,780 yen including tax), with various plans available to suit different usage patterns.

For example, employers can choose a double fixed-rate plan which offers cost savings when usage is low. This flexibility allows companies to tailor their use of the platform according to their hiring needs while keeping expenses manageable.
