About ZuzuHire:
ZuzuHire develops web apps for the recruiting industry to simplify the interview process and to make it a more interactive experience. ZuzuHire’s easy-to-use app allows you to conduct multimedia interviews, which are online interviews with incorporating video interviews, mock phone screens, essay questions, and interview questionnaires. Write your own interview questions and select 1 of 4 response formats for each question: video, voice, text, yes/no. Candidates respond to each question using the selected response format. An interview is emailed to a candidate to complete at home at their convenience. No scheduling necessary and interviews can be easily rated, reviewed, and sent to managers for feedback.
Visit http://www.zuzuhire.com. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
It seems like a way to interview candidates without having to set it up myself… in other words, a replacement for phone interviews, on-campus interviews, and video interviews.
Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
The name itself seems trendy rather than professional. The all-caps white text on blue background is hard to read… Kind of fuzzy. Exclamation points not really necessary.
One job free isn’t really “beta.” It’s more like a free trial. Putting beta there means ZuzuHire isn’t production-ready yet and may have bugs.
What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
“Get 1 free Job by signing up now, no payment info required.” I wouldn’t hire somebody who wrote a sentence like that, so I’d be weary signing up for a service that has a random noun capitalized and includes a comma splice. “Infinite jobs” should be “unlimited jobs.”
There is a checkbox to accept terms and conditions, yet no hyperlink to read them.
On clicking the Login tab, the template is lost (e.g., the navigational tabs disappear).
Aesthetically, the home page looks good until it gets to the very bottom. The tab format is nice, and the demo is nice.
What do you think of the sign up process?
Looks pretty simple, but again, where are the terms of service, if I’m required to accept them?
Would you sign up for a free trial/free account? If not, why?
No. It doesn’t seem polished enough to be something my company would want to present to prospective employees.
How do you think the site compares to other job/hiring related sites?
It doesn’t compare directly to Monster/HotJobs/etc. because it serves a different purpose.
Please share any additional feedback/comments you might have.
I think there is a need for a site to help me interview an employee–phone interviews can be so limiting; and those other sites don’t seem to provide that. I also think of them as more universal–open to everyone, and filled with spam; whereas this would be a more exclusive, client-based kind of thing.
(For reference, I am a software engineer at a large electronics company, and I am very active in recruiting and interviewing entry-level candidates.)
