Hourly roles: your best applicants apply after 22:00, your hiring process opens at 09:00

I run StormInterview, so this is a self promo post and you know where you are

Third one here, after healthcare and staffing agencies. This one is about hourly roles, security guards, cleaners, drivers, care workers, because that's where I keep seeing the same gap. People in those jobs apply when the shift is over, 22:10 on a phone in the bus, and then nothing happens until an office opens on Monday and someone starts calling. A lot of them don't pick up, they're working again

What we changed is small. Instead of a form plus a phone round, the applicant gets a link, answers a few short questions on video whenever suits them, same questions for everyone, and the hiring manager watches the answers the next morning with a transcript next to it. We suggest a score with quotes from what the person actually said, a human decides, nobody gets rejected by a machine

On the data: the app and the recordings live in Amsterdam, transcription and scoring go through Deepgram and Anthropic in the US, it's all on our GDPR page, I'd rather say it here than have you find out later

Product Hunt offer is still on, 30 days of Pro, no card to start, code PRODUCTHUNT30 for 30 percent off the first 3 months

Question for anyone hiring hourly staff: what time do your applications actually come in, and how long until someone calls them back? I'm collecting these for a follow up post, honest numbers welcome
