App for PC Massive Tools

Why Choose Massive’s Desktop App for Hiring?

Installing our App for PC means you’re getting a dedicated tool built to handle everything from parsing CVs and scoring candidates, to automating interview schedules without slowing down your browser. Honestly, the desktop app is where you’ll notice a real difference in performance. It taps directly into our AI matching engine, so when you have hundreds of applicants, the system sorts through them quickly and accurately.

We’ve designed it with busy HR teams in mind. You don’t have to jump between multiple tabs or worry about syncing delays—everything updates in real time and integrates with your calendar and hiring workflow.

Getting Your PC Ready for Massive

Before you hit download, it’s important to check your system meets the hardware and network specs. Otherwise, you might run into frustrating slowdowns or connection errors.

Minimum PC Specs

We recommend at least 8GB RAM and Windows 10 64-bit, but 16GB or Windows 11 will give you smoother performance, especially when juggling multiple hiring pipelines or video interviews.

Network Essentials

Our AI needs a steady internet connection (10 Mbps minimum) to analyze candidate data and sync interviews. Also, make sure your firewall and antivirus allow the app through. You’ll want to give the app admin rights during installation to avoid permission issues.

Why These Matter

From our experience, users who meet these requirements typically reduce their time-to-hire by about 30%, thanks to faster matching and scheduling automation.

Step-by-Step: Installing the Desktop App

Installing the app is pretty straightforward, but here’s a quick walkthrough to avoid any hiccups.

1. Log in to your Massive account via our website.
2. Find the “Download Desktop App” button on your dashboard or under Tools.
3. Select the Windows 64-bit installer (most PCs run 64-bit; you can check your system info if unsure).
4. Download the ~150MB installer file.
5. Right-click the installer and choose “Run as administrator.”
6. Follow the prompts, keeping default options unless you want to customize folders or features.
7. Allow the app through any security warnings.
8. When installation finishes, launch the app.

We suggest installing all components at first, including calendar integrations and reporting tools—you can always adjust settings later.

Connecting Your Account and Setting Up Your Workspace

Once you open the app, you’ll need to link it to your existing Massive account. This syncs all your job postings, candidate data, and interview schedules right to your desktop.

Logging In and Syncing Data

Choose “Connect Existing Account” and enter your credentials. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you’ll get a prompt for your code. After logging in, the app downloads your data—this might take a minute or two depending on how much you’ve got stored.

Personalizing Your Dashboard

Our platform lets you rearrange widgets and panels however you like. From what users tell us, setting your dashboard to show upcoming interviews and candidate matches first really helps keep priorities clear.

• Enable real-time notifications for new matches and interview reminders
• Set your time zone and working hours to avoid scheduling conflicts
• Customize alerts so you’re only notified about roles you manage

These simple tweaks can shave off hours of manual follow-up each week.

Tuning AI Job Matching to Fit Your Needs

Here’s where the magic happens. Getting the AI to understand exactly what you’re looking for means better matches and less time wasted on unsuitable candidates.

Defining Job Categories and Key Skills

Start by customizing job categories to reflect your company’s roles. Instead of vague terms, break down skills into concrete abilities—like “written communication” or “client negotiation.” This lets the AI score candidates more precisely.

Adjusting Matching Weights

Using Advanced Filters

You can automate exclusions for candidates who don’t meet minimum criteria or set score thresholds to surface only the best matches. Honestly, starting broad and tightening filters over time works best—you’ll get a feel for what produces quality candidates.

Mastering Interview Automation and Scheduling

Massive’s interview automation saves huge amounts of time by coordinating schedules automatically and managing interview flows.

Setting Up Interview Types and Templates

Define your typical interviews—screening calls, technical rounds, final meetings—and create templates with standard questions, participants, and durations. This way, the app knows exactly what to schedule at each stage.

How Automated Scheduling Works

The system prioritizes high-scoring candidates and schedules interviews only when previous steps are complete. It checks everyone’s calendars, including remote teams in different time zones, to find the best slots.

Calendar Integrations

Our App for PC works with Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and more. Just grant permissions during setup, and the app handles sending invites, reminders, and updates. This keeps everyone on the same page without extra effort.

Managing Your Data and Privacy Settings

Hiring involves sensitive info, so it’s crucial to configure data handling properly.

Data Retention Policies

Set how long resumes, interview recordings, and other info are stored. You can automate archiving or deletion based on your company’s policies or legal requirements like GDPR.

User Permissions and Access Controls

Create roles with different access levels—admins can change system settings, hiring managers see candidates per role, interviewers access only relevant interviews, and recruiters can add candidates but not finalize decisions.

Audit Trails for Compliance

Everything your team does in the app is logged: logins, candidate views, interview scheduling, and data exports. This transparency helps keep your process compliant and secure.

Fixing Common Installation and Performance Issues

If things don’t go as planned, these fixes usually help get you back on track quickly.

Antivirus and Firewall Conflicts

Sometimes security software flags our app because it connects externally. Adding the app to your antivirus whitelist and firewall exceptions usually clears this up. For Windows Defender, open Security settings and add an exclusion for the app folder.

Network Connectivity Troubleshooting

If the app can’t reach our servers, check your internet and corporate proxy settings. You might need IT’s help to whitelist server addresses or open HTTPS ports.
