Hi all,Some mid-November exciting news! Text messages (from Workable Texting) can now be sent via Automated actions when candidates apply, are moved to new stages, disqualified, or you’d like them to self-schedule an interview.  Did you know that 95% of text messages are read within 90 seconds? With a better open rate and faster response time than email (and now automated), it’s the most efficient way to communicate with candidates.Even if you haven’t purchased Workable Texting, you can still try it out. All accounts have a limited number of conversations to use that refresh periodically. Set it up on the Automated actions page.

Hi everyone! My name’s Ryan and I’m a Product Marketing Manager here at Workable. You’re going to see a lot more of me. I wanted to share what we’ve released in Q2 this year. It’s a lot, but I’m sure you’ll find a few things that will help you right away (hello, event description templates). Features Self-service creation of custom fields: Account Admins can create custom fields in the candidate profile and application form. This gives your team nearly full control of the candidate profile and application form – the sections, fields, and order of them. Go to custom fields Event description templates: Account Admins can create and manage event description templates in multiple languages – just like other communication templates. When you schedule an event simply select the description you want to save time. Go to templates Auto-send video interviews and assessments from any provider: When a candidate is moved to a specific stage, Automated Actions will send them the appropriate video interview or assessment from your provider, automatically. Go to Automated Actions Resurfaced candidates improvements: Candidates can automatically be brought back based on their competency for the job or performance in past interviews, meaning you’ll be able to move faster through stages resulting in a faster time to hire. You’ll now see labels that denote why a candidate was suggested for outreach. View in help center Personality assessment updates: For Workable personality assessments, labels highlighting response quality (Extreme, Inconsistent, Positive,…) can now appear on a candidate’s results to provide more context to the candidate’s responses. Check out assessments Mobile app candidate database: Added enhanced filter options and 'at a glance' details, including candidate location. Download the Workable app on iOS or Android to check it out. LinkedIn Company ID setup: Connect job posts to your company on LinkedIn for improved visibility and more candidates. If you haven’t already added your Company ID, you’ll now be prompted to when creating a job or can do so from the Settings > Integrations page. Indeed Sponsored Jobs: You can now use Workable's new Indeed Sponsored Jobs integration to bolster your job postings. Gain more visibility and attract more talent by reaching the candidates who are most likely to apply. Indeed Sponsored Jobs are 4.5X more likely to result in a hire.
