Indeed Buys Interviewed

Indeed, is acquiring Interviewed, the online job assessment tool. The terms of the deal aren’t being disclosed, but all 12 of Interviewed’s employees, including the three co-founders, will be going to work at Indeed.

 

Going forward, Interviewed’s service will continue to live on independently for the time being, with the ultimate goal being to further combine the platforms so employers on Indeed can have the option of making simulations a core part of their job applications.

Hiretual AI Update adds Basic CRM Functionality – By Jess Roberts

Earlier this year I cover some of the tools that every sourcer needs in their toolbox. One of those tools was Hiretual. This week, Hiretual has added even more functionality. In addition to being an amazing tool to find emails and build Booleans, Hiretual has a great AI search feature that helps find prospects. It’s a quick way to save some time on the front end of your search. Now you don’t have to export into a .csv or ATS to keep up with your stages or re-discover candidates that you may have identified in a previous search.

 

You can now track what stage in the process you have a candidate within a pipeline, add tags & notes…. but that’s not all!  You can now filter candidates. Even across all your projects. This has made a great tool even better. Happy to see the team over there with the steady improvement!
