The Link: 10 Brand New Productivity Tools You Probably Missed

The Interviewr is a brilliant tool for those who need to schedule and conduct, you guessed it, interviews. From journalists to bloggers and even human resources departments, there could be many uses for this particular tool. Interviewr is free, and you can use it to schedule, manage and record all your interviews. You can add notes, files and links that are relevant to each specific interview, and you can even set up alerts to remind you of the date and time of the interview as well.

Hey everyone, we’re hard at work on version 2 of TheInterviewr, which will feature lots of changes.

The site will allow you to organize interviews by contacts, organizations or tags. It will also feature reminders down to 30 minutes before the call is scheduled to begin, let you schedule video interviews as well as phone interviews, and also handle optional auto-calling.

We’re also working on allowing more than 2 people to take part in an interview, but that will come on version 2.5

We’ve also partnered with another group to offer transcription services, which we’ll post more details about shortly.

We’ll be rolling these out over the next month, with a full launch of version 2 scheduled for the middle of December, if not sooner.

In short, this is a very exciting time at TheInterviewr and we are happy to have everyone on board as we build towards our next version.

We just pushed live our latest feature… Commenting on Interviews.

This feature lets you enter quick comments at anytime before, during, or after interviews.

This is handy for making quick notes while conducting your interview, and just like everything else, it’s right there for you to come back to at anytime.

You can also view it here without music: http://vimeo.com/28938622

A new feature that went live today is the ability to handle calls that get set as “not completed”, or were less than 10 seconds, you can now choose to reset the interview, and redo it.

This is handy for missed calls, if anything didn’t go as planned, so do over.

The Link: TheInterviewer: An Easy Way to Manage and Record Phone Conversations

I’m fresh off a half dozen telephone interviews this week alone, and I can tell you that they can be grueling affairs. Sometimes I use Google Voice to record phone calls, but it’s not always convenient. For example, Google Voice will only record incoming calls, not calls I place myself. And certain kinds of calls — especially ones for hiring interviews — require me to locate and open notes before the scheduled time, which taxes my organizational abilities. I’ve found a new site that wants to simplify my phone interviews.

Tonight we pushed live our next new feature, archived interviews.

Now, once an interview is completed, you can choose to archive it for later use, and also unarchive it later if you wish.

This lets you keep your main list clear, but also go back and review them later at anytime.

We’ve just launched a new feature where you can now choose to get notified by email or sms message.

To use this, click the “Settings” button and choose “Notification Settings”.

We are also currently working on giving you the ability to archive your interviews to look at later, so that will be live in the next couple hours as well.

The Link: TheInterviewr Records, Schedules Your Interviews and Other Phone Calls

There are a few ways of recording phone calls—Skype, a third-party jailbreak app on your iPhone, a digital voice recorder with a headphone adapter, incoming Google Voice calls—but none have been as easy as using TheInterviewr. The webapp lets you schedule interviews, upload documents you’ll use for that interview, and best of all, record it automatically.
