General improvements

Shared by Gustavo • May 22, 2023

We are always working on improvements and fixing bugs to better your experience. Some of the more recent ones include:

  • When removing users from your company account, you now will be able to re-assign their owned lists to other users during the deletion process.
  • Fixed “candidate added to list” message to always show up on top.
  • The user shown next to the “candidate added to list” message is now the user that uploaded the candidate instead of the list owner.
  • We fixed an issue with user permissions not loading correctly when logging in for the first time.
  • For Job submission lists, the "CV/resume revealed" email now goes to everybody that the list was shared with, instead of just to the person that requested the CV/resume.
  • We added a new email alert that lets your clients know if they tried to reply to your messages via email with an unsupported file type.
  • Fixed an issue where pressing some buttons when editing candidates would trigger the loading animation without advancing, effectively freezing the app.
  • Duplicate candidates will now keep recruiter notes and Bullhorn links if applicable.
New feature

Add your own Terms of Use or Privacy Policy to your lists

Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

We have implemented the ability for you to add your own Terms of Use and/or Privacy Policy to your lists. This way you can make sure anyone accessing your lists has to accept your legal agreements in the process.

Adding your own Terms of Use and/or Privacy Policy is possible by going to the bottom of the Settings → General Settings screen.

Once added, they will be visible at all places where clients need to enter their email when accessing your list without an invite. The terms are also included in all relevant emails like "candidate revealed", "list invite", etc.

New option for the default candidate name on candidate upload

Benjamin avatar
Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

We've expanded the naming options provided when uploading candidates. Now, you are able to select between:

  • First name only (e.g. Tony)
  • First name + Last name initials (e.g. Tony S.)
  • Full name (e.g. Tony Stark)

You can select the format that you like best by going to your Settings → General Settings. It will start affecting any new candidates you upload right after the change is applied.

New feature

Upload candidates in "Active" state to your shared lists

Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

By default, uploaded candidates are added to your list in a "Draft" state. This way you are able to verify the data and make any necessary changes before they become visible to your clients.

Now, we've added the option to have candidates appear as "Active" as soon as they are uploaded. This provides a faster way to add new candidates to lists and have them available for your clients right away (You can also edit them at a later time if so you wish).

You can switch the default upload status for all new lists under Settings → General Settings. Or for lists individually through the list configuration tab, which you can find on each of your lists.

New feature

New feature: Job submission lists

Benjamin avatar
Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

Going forward, when creating a new shared list, you will get the option to either create a Job submission list or a Marketing list.

You might be wondering, what does all that mean? Keep on reading to learn more about it

Job submission list (new type)

This is a new type of list we are introducing.

The job submission list allows everyone accessing that list to collaborate. That means, multiple people can see each other's messages, interview requests, etc.

For example, you share a job submission list with multiple people at the same end client. If Tom requests an interview with one candidate and declines two other candidates, then Sarah accessing the same list shortly after Tom will see Tom's messages and requests, etc.

We recommend that you share this type of list with a single company only.

For Bullhorn customers

This is the new default list type that is used when creating a list from the tab on a job in Bullhorn.

Marketing list (all existing lists)

A Marketing list does not allow collaboration. People accessing this list type will only see their own messages, candidate status, etc.

Marketing lists are therefore intended to be accessed by several companies. Typical use cases are:

  • List with top available candidates
  • Add list to your website (search engine indexing coming soon)
  • Include list in the email signature
  • Share list on social media (preview images coming soon)

Lists that you've created so far...

As lists that you have created until this point do not allow your clients to collaborate, they were automatically converted into Marketing lists. Don't worry if these lists are actually used for job submissions. You can keep using them without any issues. Just note, if you want your clients to be able to collaborate on a list, you need to create a new Job submission type list.

Various other improvements

Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

We've added many improvements that will make your life easier. Some of these include:

  • Client portal settings: From this newly added tab in your settings screen, you'll be able to copy your custom client portal link. This link can be embedded on your website for clients to get back to list you shared with them.
  • Improvements for expired list invitation links: We also made some significant improvements for cases where for example the client clicks on the button in the list invitation email on the phone first and then on the computer later. In this case, we now show a message to them with "Your link expired, we just sent you a new link to your emails". With the new email we send to them automatically, we will log them in again. So there is no need for your clients to manually enter their email again.
  • Include list name invitation emails: We've added the list name to the subject of the outgoing emails that are sent when you share your list with your clients.
Bullhorn
New feature

Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

When you open a candidate that you imported from Bullhorn previously, you can now see that we've added a new internal section with some candidate details that only you can see (such as email or phone number).

Bullhorn: Trigger an automatic candidate import via job submission status changes

Benjamin avatar
Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

Now you're able to automatically import candidates from Bullhorn to your lists as soon as their Bullhorn job submission status is changed to the one that you specify within the integration settings, making the process of getting candidates into your lists easier than ever.

Improvement

New CV/resume visibility options

Benjamin avatar
Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

Now you have some extra control over the requisites someone needs to meet in order to access your candidate's information, since we've added a new setting to the visibility options:

CVs are visible without email verification: This setting will allow anyone with access to your list to view your candidate's CV/resume without any restrictions.

Additionally, we've added some other options to the shared list settings which include:

  • Searching by candidate name on list: You can now control if your clients can search a list by a candidate's name or not.
  • Filter behavior: You can now set if filters on a list should be visible at all times or need to be expanded first by your clients.
  • Skill suggestions: With this option, you'll be able to choose if the system should add the skills to your candidates automatically or if they should simply be suggested for you to select which ones to add at a later time.

Note: All of the options above can be set as default settings company-wide or changed individually on each list under the "List configuration" tab.
