Invite-only pilot Β· free while it runs

For recruiters & hiring teams

Slow scheduling loses good candidates. Invite them where they answer.

Send the interview to WhatsApp, where candidates actually reply. A πŸ‘ accepts, the video link comes with it, a reminder follows β€” and if they can't make it, they ask for another time instead of going quiet.

The numbers behind it

A week of interviews

Interviews that schedule themselves

Scroll through it: from the invitation to the interview.

  1. Mon 09:30

    An invitation with Teams inside

    Today
    An email chain to agree a time with every candidate.
    With IHGIZ
    Invite Arjun on WhatsApp, with the Teams link and numbered replies.
  2. Mon 09:34

    πŸ‘ and it's confirmed

    Today
    Waiting days for a formal reply.
    With IHGIZ
    His πŸ‘ is a yes: the interview confirms itself and you're told.
  3. Mon 10:15

    β€œ3” asks for another time

    Today
    β€œSorry, can we move it?” and a new email chain.
    With IHGIZ
    He replies 3 and picks another time; you accept with one tap.
  4. Tue 14:00

    The interview link, an hour ahead

    Today
    Candidates late because the link was buried.
    With IHGIZ
    The reminder an hour ahead carries the Teams link.
  5. All week

    Candidates on their apps, you on yours

    Today
    Some reply on WhatsApp, some only to email, the hiring manager to neither.
    With IHGIZ
    Arjun accepts on WhatsApp, Maria from her email invitation, and the hiring manager hears on Telegram β€” while you screen the next candidate.
  6. Every panel

    Interviewers and rounds side by side

    Today
    Every panel in one diary, and rounds that can't overlap.
    With IHGIZ
    Each interviewer, panel or round has its own schedule, running at the same time on one account.

Your turn

Be the candidate

Answer an interview invitation the way Arjun would: accept it, or ask for another time.

Drawn screens, real messages: each reply is what IHGIZ sends.

Play a week of it yourself

In the tour you are the client on WhatsApp while IHGIZ books, reminds and moves the appointment on your side. A few minutes, for people rather than bots β€” so we ask your first name and a quick code.

Made for how you work

Built around candidates who live on their phones

  • Invitations where they reply

    WhatsApp, Telegram or email β€” whichever the candidate uses.

  • A πŸ‘ is a yes

    On WhatsApp, a thumbs-up on the invitation accepts it.

  • Video interviews

    Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, created for each interview, from the Starter plan.

  • Another time, not a drop-out

    Candidates propose a new time in the chat; you accept or decline.

  • Your own calendar, both ways

    Busy time in Google, Outlook or Apple keeps those hours off your page, and every booking appears there through your calendar feed.

  • Connected to your hiring system

    An API and signed webhooks to pass interviews on, on the Max plan.

What scheduling costs you today

Put your own numbers in.

Every figure below is yours: how many bookings you handle, how long the back-and-forth takes, what your time is worth, how often people do not turn up. No industry statistic is added β€” change any assumption and the result follows.

Bookings through IHGIZ confirm themselves and reminders go out on their own; the time you keep is whatever share of the arranging you no longer do.

This is arithmetic on the numbers you enter, not a promise about your results.

Good to know

Can several interviewers join?

Invite whoever needs to be there β€” the candidate and the panel β€” and the interview confirms once everyone has accepted.

Do candidates need an account?

No. They answer on WhatsApp, Telegram or by email β€” no app, no sign-up.

Which video tools work?

Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams on your own account, from the Starter plan β€” or paste any meeting link on any plan.

Which WhatsApp number do candidates message?

During the pilot, IHGIZ's. After it, from the Pro plan, your own WhatsApp Business number. Email, your booking page and a chat widget work on every plan; Telegram from Starter.

Does it connect to my hiring system?

On the Max plan, through the API and signed webhooks. There's no ready-made connector for a particular system yet.
