Rooster Scheduling Reviews & Product Details

Rooster is not only a necessary integration to have if you use Workday Recruiting, but is also an amazing scheduling tool period. The Autobook feature and Roosterlinks makes it so easy to schedule with candidates and LinkedIn prospects and has cut the time I spend scheduling by more than 50%. The automated notifications, follow ups, reminders, etc. are amazing for the candidate and interviewer experience. I love how versatile the system is and how you still have the ability to "manual" schedule if needed too. I work at a very complex, global organization and Rooster has been able to accommodate nearly all of our needs.

I would also like to thank Shannon Chipman, Cian Crawford, Hannah Packer, and Nate Borsella for their amazing support during our implementation process. This was by far the best implementation experience and support I have ever had for any system. And the ongoing support from Cian and Lukas for any of our issues, questions, etc. is always super fast and extremely helpful. We rarely have any issues with Rooster but when we do they are always resolved within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For manual scheduling - I wish the timezone would automatically match the candidate's timezone. Right now it defaults to the job requisition location timezone, and for a global company like ours where we have jobs open in multiple different locations, this makes things a little more complicated. And also leaves a lot of room for error and confusion. Also for the confirmation emails I wish the timezones would also match the timezone of the person receiving the message. Right now when an interview is scheduled (whether it is Autobook or Manual), the confirmation email will send the interview date/time in whatever timezone the candidate/Recruiter selected. But we often times have candidates and interviewers that are located in different countries/timezones, so it would be amazing if this was able to sync and match the timezones for the interviewers that are saved in the system.

I also wish the scorecard link would bring the interviewer directly to the scorecard itself in Workday. Right now it just brings the interviewer to their Workday inbox (which is also nice at least) and I have noticed that this has caused interviewers to input their feedback in the wrong scorecard. So having this link be more direct to the actual scorecard in Workday would leave no room for error.

Custom reporting is a bit of a pain right now. Having to sort through all of those available fields is a bit tedious. I feel like there could be a better way to organize and maybe have the available fields in different categories to make it at least easier to locate and then select the different fields/columns you are trying to add to the report.

Maybe sometimes performance data is not accurate and also schedules are not showing however that happens only sometimes. Most of the time is is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the scheduling capabilities - personalization, attachments, signatures, timezones, the list goes on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After scheduling a candidate with the interviewers there is a 2nd step of pressing send for it to go to the candidate. The purpose for it makes sense to verify the interviewers confirm that availability first. This is just the only thing I can think of as a 'dislike'. Not too difficult would just be easier if sent automatically with the original scheduling step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since implementing Rooster, the time it takes us to schedule a single candidate with a panel interview has decreased from about 10 minutes to roughly 3.5 minutes. The time we've gained back has allowed my team to spend more time meeting candidates' and hiring managers' needs. We've also been able to get interviews scheduled sooner than we were able to previously, which we anticipate will help us reduce time to fill and ultimately reach hiring decisions more quickly. We've also enjoyed how easy it is to customize our templates, and make adjustments to our process immediately based on feedback, rather than working through more lengthy configuration and testing within Workday.

The one problem we wish Rooster could solve for us is creating/finding shared availability among our interviewers. If Rooster could incorporate a feature like the FindTime plug in in Outlook, that would be the icing on the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rooster saves me a lot of time as a recruiter, and it is so nice to have candidates schedule themselves! Since starting to use Rooster, I've saved a lot of time going back and fourth with candidates to set up interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like Rooster to allow me to customize when candidates can set up interviews a bit more (less than 24-hour notice, only selecting a few days a time rather than 1, 2, or 3 weeks). I appreciate that the Rooster team takes time to improve their product quickly, and they have already rolled out several updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like is very adaptable. You can use it with many recruiters and interviewers, you can see everyone's agendas in different time zones, you can cover to some of your colleagues and is connected to other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it lags, or has some errors when you try to see other´s schedulers candidates, and also the feedback scorecard haven´t work lately so is more difficult to send it to interviewers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rooster gives back the time in scheduling, and I can use that time to do other tasks I need to do. Rooster can assist me in scheduling multiple applicants and meetings required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Urgent meetings cannot be scheduled within the 24 hours window. It can only be done for the 48 hours window. Also, applicants will be able to change meetings multiple times even when they've attended the previous meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoyed the ease of scheduling interviews and the automation behind it. It's really helpful to be able to customize meetings invites and also have standardized templates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to change standardized templates for different situations and having to reschedule meetings. It's generally easier to do it manually althought Rooster has made good improvements on this front Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rooster saves me so much time every day. I used to have to go back and forth with candidates to settle on a date/time for their interview with a Recruiter but now, it only takes a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike at all! The only thing I'd like to see improved is the time it takes to reload the main page. Sometimes it takes several seconds to load correctly with the most current updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Responsiveness and support for questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it was a bit unclear who my point of contact was for what type of questions. However, CC'ing in the whole group, the correct person always responded back quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
