The GoodTime alternative built for interview operations
GoodTime is one of the best-known interview scheduling tools. If you’re comparing it with other options, here is what to check before you switch, and how ModernLoop compares.
What to check before you switch
Your ATS, at the depth you need. Does the tool read stages and write back interview events for your ATS, or only sync calendars?
Scheduling that starts itself. Can a stage change in the ATS send the interview request and the candidate email without a coordinator?
Panels and load. Can it build a panel from qualified interviewers and keep anyone from being overloaded?
Interviewer training. Can it add shadows and reverse shadows automatically and track who is ready to interview alone?
How work reaches coordinators. Can recruiters request a schedule from inside the ATS, with the context a coordinator needs?
Candidate experience. Does the candidate get one place with times, interviewers and video links, and emails that come from the recruiter?
Security and access. SOC 2 and ISO reports, SSO, and user provisioning.
Pricing basis. Per seat, per candidate or flat. Ask every vendor for a quote at your real hiring volume.
Why teams choose ModernLoop
Scheduling that starts itself
With Zero Click Scheduling, interview requests and candidate emails go out as candidates move stages in your ATS. Candidates pick a time from the interviewers’ real availability.
Coordinators work one queue
Recruiters request schedules in ModernLoop or from a Chrome extension inside the ATS, with notes on urgency and the interviewers they need. Coordinators see every pending request in one place.
Fair, trained panels
ModernLoop’s scheduling algorithm uses candidate availability, interviewer availability and interviewer load to propose schedules. Trainees are added as shadows and reverse shadows until they are ready, and progress is tracked in Slack.
A better candidate experience
A branded Candidate Portal keeps interview times, details and video links in one place.
