Comment on Ask HN: Need for better technical interviewing tools?

Comments

I run hiring for Matasano, which is one of the hiring-est companies (in its size tier, I guess) on HN. We've looked at a couple tools like this and none of them have kept us too engaged.

A feature idea for you: when you do the scheduling, have contact information for all the interviewers enrolled in the system, and the candidate, and (optionally) SMS them 15 minutes in advance of the interview.

Yeah, the reminder scheduling piece is definitely a challenge. I think the site will need to maintain that and do notifications, but I feel like to do it right I'll need to integrate with as many calendar providers as possible to make sure I'm not scheduling over someone's meeting. I have the Google calendar part about done but that probably covers less than half of small tech companies out there.
