Summary

What is RIVS Interviewing Technology?

RIVS is a web-based technology built for interview & recruiting.

RIVS interview technologies empower recruiters and hiring managers to effectively screen and select applicants to advance in their hiring process. Video, voice, and written interviews reveal key candidate communication and personality skills earlier on in the selection process, scheduling tools improve the logistics of arranging interviews, and the interview guide builder prepares internal stakeholders for an effective in-person interview. RIVS helps organizations discover top talent while reducing time to hire and costs associated with interviewing.


Where did we come from?

At their previous company, our founders constantly struggled with the vast inefficiencies of the hiring process. Their company was growing quickly so they needed to hire great people, however, they couldn’t keep up with the thousands of job applications they received every week. Good candidates were slipping through the cracks while much of their time was spent scheduling and interviewing unqualified candidates.


Product

One-Way Voice / Video Interviewing
Screen candidates in a minute or less. Yes, it’s possible. Create written, voice or video interview templates to send to candidates to complete on their own time. Recruiters are then able to review and score candidate responses to better identify quality candidates.


Live Video Interviewing
60% of employers use video interviews. Connect with candidates from any location without the hassle of downloading software to drastically reduce travel costs while still gaining insight into candidate personality traits, skills, and cultural fit. It’s a win-win.


The Scheduler
A personal assistant for your calendar. Manage and optimize your valuable time by syncing your RIVS calendar with your Outlook, Google Calendar and Apple Calendar to populate your availability. Send candidates your open time slots for them to choose what works for them, too
