Take full control of your candidate's data and disable the CV/resume and file download option for your clients. Now your clients no longer have the option to download the CV/resume or additional files from the link you shared with them.

You can select this option as a company default or change it individually on each list.

Alongside the Automations feature, we've also been working on several improvements to Candidately as a whole. We encourage you to keep reading in order to learn more about them

  • When clients try to access a list that was paused or deleted by you, they will now see a button to take them to an overview of all other active lists that they have access to.
  • When you click on "Share your list" there is a new preview button to easier preview your lists prior to sending.
  • There are various security improvements in the areas of change password, change email, or resend verification/signup links.
  • Admin and Owner type users are now able to change their company avatar/logo from within the company settings screen.
  • Candidately is now running on multiple servers simultaneously. For you that means whenever we release a new version of Candidately, you will be able to keep using the product without any downtime. A banner letting you know about the update, alongside a refresh button, shows up on the bottom left corner of your screen to be used at your best convenience.
  • The left side menu on lists (where you switch between your lists) is now collapsable. This provides a better experience to our users with smaller screen sizes.

Bullhorn Automations (Beta) Update your lists automatically

Benjamin avatar
Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

Automations allow you to set up triggers that monitor your candidate fields and Tearsheets in Bullhorn. Currently, the available triggers are:

  • Field change on the candidate
  • Candidate added to Tearsheet
  • Candidate removed from Tearsheet

Once the desired trigger has been chosen and the criteria for it has been set, you can select an action that will take place in Candidately on a list, which can be:

  1. Import a candidate
  2. Set candidate active
  3. Set candidate inactive
  4. Delete candidate

Bullhorn automation use case examples:

You can set up multiple automations on a single list that enable to to accomplish use cases like the ones below:

  1. You have a candidate Hotlist Tearsheet in Bullhorn today. With Automations this Tearsheet can be mirrored to a Marketing List in Candidately.
  2. You can leverage the "Status" field on a candidate in Bullhorn to automatically add or remove candidates from a Marketing list once the status becomes "Available" or “Placed”.
  3. You can set up 3 Marketing lists in Candidately based on the role e.g. IT, Heath care, Sales. Then you add a custom field called “Sync to list” in Bullhorn which contains parameters that correspond to the lists in Candidately and trigger the import into the correct Marketing list.
  4. With tools like Herefish you can build even more complex workflows like:a) Candidates that are about to come off assignment automatically flow to a Marketing List three weeks in advance (redeployment case).b) You source five candidate for a client and one gets the job, you can have the four candidates that failed the interview sync to a Marketing list automatically.
