Want a Better Way to Interview Job Candidates? There¹s an App for That: The Interviewer

Easy-to-use iPhone App Enables Hiring Managers to Conduct More Successful Interviews
SCOTTS VALLEY, CA ­ October 29, 2009 - Accelerate Mobile Apps, Inc. today
announced the release of The Interviewer, an application for the iPhone and
iPod Touch that makes the process of interviewing job candidates easier and
more effective.

³Finding great talent is critical to the success of any organization, and
conducting job interviews is the first critical step in identifying the
right person for the job,² says Gary Edwards, CEO of Accelerate Mobile Apps.
³The Interviewer app adds an extra layer of intelligence and insight to the
interviewing process, making it a must-have tool for all levels of hiring
managers.²

The Interviewer offers a simple yet powerful approach to the interview
process, breaking it up into three phases: Before the Interview, During the
Interview, and After the Interview. The first phase enables users to choose
from a list of 18 skills and associated competencies that are unique to a
specific job opening. Users can then choose a set of questions that form an
interview outline to assist in drawing out specific information and
determining if the candidate is the right ³fit² for the job.

During the interview, The Interviewer app provides the manager with prompts
to dig deeper should the candidate¹s answers fail to provide complete
information. After the interview, the manager is provided with an assessment
tool to evaluate the candidate¹s qualifications and compatibility with the
job and the organization.

The app also includes a valuable tutorial that coaches users on how to
prepare for and conduct an effective interview; how to read behavioral cues;
what questions to avoid; and tips on how to make an informed hiring
decision. It offers valuable guidance for every level of hiring manager ­
from VPs and Directors on down.

³Knowing how to conduct a great interview is the key to separating mediocre
candidates from outstanding ones,² says Gary Edwards. ³The Interviewer is
the ultimate app for companies that want to improve their interview skills
and increase the likelihood of hiring the right person the first time.²

Hiring quality talent is an ongoing concern for organizations across every
industry, market and geography, and companies have needed a resource like
The Interviewer for a very long time. The ubiquity of the iPhone and iPod
Touch now make this critical application accessible to companies of all
sizes. The Interviewer app is available in the iTunes App Store for $14.99,
and can be found in the Business category.
