General
What is Wizco?
Wizco is a platform which provides applicants and candidates with a personalized, online coaching service led by industry expert, significantly increasing their success rates. Tailored to each candidate’s specific position and needs, our guidance process is unlike the general advice often offered in these contexts in that it is informed by experts with the relevant professional experience and backgrounds.
What is our mission?
Wizco connects job applicants with industry experts who ask the right questions and have the right answers. Our experts work, or have worked, in similar positions and companies to those of your candidates. Their firsthand experience and much needed expertise demystify the hiring process. As hiring processes become more complex, it pays to be prepared.
Wizco experts come from a vast selection of companies and professions, allowing us to match applicants with the experts they need. Our experts provide personal guidance throughout the application process, from submitting the application to accepting an offer.
Why should I use the Wizco service?
People no longer work for one company for their entire career - retiring after 50 years with a pension and a gold watch is a thing of the past.The typical employee will have 12 different employers in their lifetime with an average duration of 4.2 years per place of employment. Millennials are statistically twice as likely to leave their jobs in search of better offers.
As the job market becomes more complex, the screening processes become longer and more specific, forcing applicants to invest more time and energy into preparation. But application processes involve interviews and professional assignments, practical tasks for which there is limited preparation available. To top it off, the competition for each open position is fierce with an average of 250 resumes being submitted for a top role.Ultimately, applicants looking to improve their chances of getting an offer letter, must find a better way to shine.
How does the matching algorithm work?
We match each applicant with the most relevant Wizco experts, taking into consideration the position, company, industry, experience, and both the applicant and expert's availability.
How does an interview simulation work?
It's easy!
Interview coaching is at the heart of what we do. As such we have put a lot of thought and care into designing our platform. Using video chat on the Wizco platform, we simulate a real interview scenario. At the end of each simulation, the applicant receives a written report with practical advice along with a video recording of the interview. The video includes real-time comments and feedback added by the Wizco expert, helping the applicants to understand what they did well and where they can improve.
Why should we use your service?
Our service increases the applicant success rate, therefore increasing the agency’s potential income. In many cases, since the variety of positions and companies is endless, your ability to professionally guide your applicants for each specific position and company is limited.Our coaching service is focused on coaching applicants for the advanced part of the hiring process, when students move forward with the process and are interviewed by industry professionals. At that point, we match them with an expert with the most relevant experience in this industry and position.

Experts
Who are your experts?
Wizco experts are employees and managers working for a wide variety of companies in various positions - HR, Product, R&D, Finance, Marketing, etc. Their interest is both financial - getting paid for the service they provide - and professional - networking and getting to know colleagues from different positions and also practicing hiring procedures.
How often are the sessions?
Regarding frequency, it really depends on your availability and experience.
Some experts are able to commit to regular coaching sessions, while others do one every few weeks or so. We aim to sign up professional experts with relevant background in the applied position and industry, so the more experience one has, the more likely they are to get multiple matches.
How does the scheduling work?
As soon as we have an applicant match, we'll get in touch to get with the applicant's availability.
Applicants choose from the following windows:
Weekdays and/or Weekends, Morning 08:00 - 12:00 | Afternoons 12:00 - 18:00 | Evenings 18:00 - 22:00
Based on the applicant's availability, we ask you to provide us with a few time slots - e.g. 12:00 - 13:00 on Wednesday, 24 March 2021.
We send those options back for the applicant to choose from. Once confirmed, you'll be notified by automated email where there's a link to join the scheduled mock-interview.
If you're approached with an applicant match, you're in no way obligated to provide time slots should you have limited availability.
Is there a minimum amount of sessions I need to conduct?
Our experts are in no way obligated to conduct a session. If you’re contacted with an applicant match, you’re free to turn down the session due to scheduling constraints. Our experts decide when and how often they conduct sessions based on their availability.
How does the payment work?
We pay by bank transfer, PayPal, or Amazon gift card - you can decide which is the best option for you.
What does the session entail?
Our trial interviews are structured as follows:
Introduction - 5 minutes
Professional mock interview - 35 minutes
One-on-one session feedback - 5-10 minutes
How should I prepare?
Before the session, we'll send you the applicant's relevant details - their current and desired position, and past experience, a guideline of how to use the system, and how to prepare before a session.
It's important to us that you come prepared and lead the session, bringing yourself and your experience to the table. Our experts' unique professional experience helps better prepare our applicants for a large variety of positions in a number of industries.
At the end of the interview, you'll be asked to answer a few questions on the applicant's performance. Your answers, together with any real-time feedback entered during the session will be sent to the applicant as a personalized report with a video recording of the interview.
Am I required to follow up with applicant after the session?
We don't require our experts to do any follow ups once the session has been conducted and the feedback report completed.
That being said, some experts take a keen interest in their applicant's success and prefer to be kept updated on their progress. We understand that each expert's approach will be slightly different and support them in whatever feels most natural to them.
Do I need to leave my current position to be a Wizco experts?
As these sessions are conducted in your free time, there's no need to leave your current position to be a Wizco expert. In fact, we don't even ask you to sign a contract, but we do ask our experts to agree to our Terms of Use.
