Various general improvements

Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

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
New feature

Bullhorn Automations (Beta) Update your lists automatically

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.

Shared by Benjamin • May 22, 2023

We've introduced a new button to the Share your list popup that allows you to send a message to all clients you've previously shared the list with. This way, it will be even easier to communicate with all your clients at once, or send mass updates whenever you add new candidates to the list.

General improvements

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

Benjamin avatar
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.

Improvement

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

Benjamin avatar
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.
