Product Updates June

Bartakovics

Ben is co-founder & Head of Product of Candidately.

In this update, we are excited to share some improvements to our custom fields as well as some smaller improvements across the board.

Custom Field: Improvements 🚀

There are two new features that enhance the functionality of custom fields. These improvements provide greater flexibility and options for customizing candidate profiles to meet your specific needs.

Custom Field Visibility: Internal or Public

Expanding on the existing custom fields feature, we are delighted to introduce the ability to designate custom fields as either internal or public. With this sub-feature, you can now create custom fields that are only visible to your team, keeping sensitive information confidential from the end client.

These fields can also be mapped to Bullhorn, if required.

You can find this new setting when creating new custom fields as described in our Help Center.

New Custom Field Type: Rates

With the introduction of "Rates" as a new custom field, we now offer a feature that enables you to add multiple rates/salaries to a candidate profile. By combining a value, a currency, and a time frame in one field, you can now show rates in the following format: $6,000 USD/mo.

You can find this new option when creating new custom fields as described in our Help Center.

Other improvements 🤓

  • You can now share lists that are in a "Draft" or "Paused" state which will automatically set them to "Active".
  • Duplicate candidates: This feature now takes Teams into account.
  • Our PDF viewer (used for viewing CVs etc.) now shows a line between each page indicating where one page ends and the next one begins.

Streamlined Candidate Statuses 🔥

Managing candidate progress is now easier than ever. You now have the ability to change candidate statuses directly on your candidates, allowing you to track their journey seamlessly and update them on behalf of your customers.


Additionally, we’ve introduced a new “To review” status for candidates on job submission lists. This status helps your clients identify which candidates require their attention and feedback.


We’re continuously working to expand this feature into a comprehensive candidate pipeline, enabling you to track the entire lifecycle of candidates from submission to placement. Stay tuned for more updates in this area coming soon!

Enhanced List Access ✅

We have an exciting update for Candidately users with the “Member” role. Previously, they could only view lists created by other users if they were assigned to them or in the same team, sometimes resulting in duplicate lists for the same Bullhorn job.

Now, users can easily request access to specific lists from those who are already assigned. This streamlines collaboration and eliminates redundant lists. Enjoy improved coordination with our enhanced list access feature in Candidately!

Bullhorn Integration Filter by Job Submissions Statuses 🔊

Attention Bullhorn users! We have listened to your feedback and made significant improvements to our Bullhorn integration. With the latest update, you can now filter candidates based on their job submission statuses when importing them from Bullhorn. This feature enables you to quickly find the candidates you want to import, saving you time and streamlining your workflow.

These updates reflect our commitment to providing you with a seamless and productive experience on Candidately. We’re continuously working to enhance our platform and bring you even more valuable features in the future.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, so please feel free to share any thoughts or suggestions you may have. We’re here to support your staffing agency’s success.

Auto-Assigned Users 🪄

  • Changing a list's status
  • Sharing a list
  • Adding a candidate
  • Updating a candidate's status
  • Messaging via the messenger feature

Other Enhancements 🛠

  • Tables support in text editor: We now support tables imported from Bullhorn for the recruiter note or long text custom fields.
  • Smoother Navigation: We improved the transition between candidate profiles when using arrows to make them load faster.
