Rooster empowers the scheduler to automate the hiring process as much as they see fit. Current AI allows schedulers to employ “set it and forget it” rules to automate the interview process. An example of a simple rule is: if all interviewers accept the invitation → then send the invitation to the candidate, or if the candidate declines the invitation → then automatically cancel the interview.
More AI-powered Automation Bots will be added soon to allow schedulers to configure more intricate rules (multiple if’s and then’s scenarios) and to further automate the process. For example, if a stakeholder declines → then auto-reschedule the interview using the same panel.

- Rooster integrates with interviewers’ calendars, providing real-time availability for the candidate to select a date and time that works for them.
- This feature is mobile-friendly allowing candidates to schedule their interviews instantly from any device.

SMS communication
- Engage your interviewers and candidates via text messages. Send interview invitations directly to the candidates mobile phone, where they can choose to accept or decline on the spot, without the risk of it ending up in a spam folder.
- SMS texting is an optional add-on feature that opens up another avenue for the scheduler to engage with the candidate. Choose what local number you want to use for texting capability (including 1-800 numbers). Schedulers can create an SMS template to showcase their branding and send a more personalized message to the candidate.
- Some candidates don’t have immediate access to a computer, and texting increases their likelihood of receiving the invitation and the speed of their response. Texting is also effective in getting invitations directly before interviewers as well.
- This option is configurable and schedulers can choose at what stage stakeholders receive SMS invitations, and can easily turn that option on and off on the invitation itself.
Reminders (Email, SMS, etc.)
Configurable template-driven reminders remove the necessity of manually following up with candidates and interviewers.
Schedulers can set as many reminders as they wish at whatever time intervals required to receive a response to their interview invitations, and to remind all stakeholders involved of an upcoming appointment. A post-interview reminder can also be sent to candidates to complete a survey about their interview experience, or to interviewers to prompt them to complete a feedback questionnaire.
Global recruiting
Rooster makes working with global teams and international candidates foolproof with international language support and automatic time zone detection and reconciliation.
With Rooster schedulers can translate email/SMS templates into 109 languages. The user’s browser also defaults to the language based on the their location/settings.
Rooster automatically detects the time zone in which the interviewer and candidate are in, converting the invitation to their local time.
Schedulers, on the other hand, can see both the candidate and interviewers’ availability in a live calendar-view in their own time zone. They also have the option of changing the time zone to match either the interviewer or candidate.

Analytics and insights
- Actionable insights help identify bottlenecks to assist the talent team in making the hiring process more efficient. An easy-to-read visual dashboard gives instant visibility on schedulers, as well as the entire interview team.
- At a glance, Rooster’s analytics dashboard showcases the talent acquisition team’s top schedulers, as well as the interviewers’ with the best response rates.
- The schedulers’ leaderboard allows managers to highlight top performers worthy of recognition, and helps identify those in need of additional training and support.
- Playfully coined as the Rooster “Wall of Shame”, the interviewers’ leaderboard captures interviewers’ average response times, as well as how often they accept, decline, or don’t respond to invitations.
- Reports can be exported as CSV or PDF files, and parameters such as date ranges can be selected.
Reminders (Email, SMS, etc.)
Configurable template-driven reminders remove the necessity of manually following up with candidates and interviewers.

Inviting Optional Attendees
- Keep team members in the loop by adding optional attendees to the interview invitation.
- CC’d attendees or optional invitees receive an invitation to the interview but aren’t part of the interview lineup, such as the Front Desk (who might need to prepare a security badge for the candidate), the Hiring Manager, or the Recruiter. Also, while the interview does show up on their calendar it doesn’t block off that time as busy.
Interviewer Preferences
Rooster enhances the interviewer experience and streamlines the hiring process by allowing recruiters and hiring managers to set parameters for when they want to interview. While Rooster automatically pulls in working hours and time zone locations, interviewers can set their preferred days or hours as a recurring availability or set custom dates/times for when they want to be available. They can also add buffer times before or after interviews to prevent back-to-back bookings.
