Q2 Product Updates

Hey @Ryan Varney,

Thanks for the info on all the integrations and features.
It will be very useful to have a setting where we (Talent) can receive a notification reminder to reply back to candidates within a timeframe set? Thought on providing this feedback as I can see the need of it, at least in my case.

Thank you!

Romina

@RominaAranzola thanks for that feedback - I definitely see how that can be useful to maintain the candidate experience. I sift through and sort all of our product feedback so I’ll make sure to mark this one down!

I know it’s not the same thing, but I recommend using our Automated Actions feature if you aren’t already. You’ll be able to automate some of these scenarios like sending an intro email, disqualification email, an email when the candidate makes it to a new stage, or even auto-send a self-schedule link. It can all be done with a short delay as well. 

@Ryan Varney  Automated actions have been working great! Event templates have also been a great add. 

I wanted to ask about considering a General area to leave notes/comments for each job. Like an “internal notes” section/ status section for each job where I can also book an internal meeting to to discuss with the hiring team. 

Example: Leaving a comment for a collegue to review the “applied” bucket. 

“Hey @john, could you please review the canidates in the applied folder and leave your evualtaions so I can proceed with booking..” 

Another Example: Overall Status update for a job

“Team - We have 3 final interviews happening Wednesday and we need your fb back quickly so we can make a decision and get an offer out by Friday - Offer projected by COB this week!”

Final Example: General Update 

“ Team, Were not getting any strong candidates for this role & need to re strategize. @mark could we look into using that agency again?”

I know it is possible to leave comments/ and book internal meetings under a specific person but it would be really helpful to be able have a hover over “At a glance” type status for each role. 

@jen glad you’re liking Automated Actions and Event templates!

I’ll mark this one down as well  . It’s also great that you provided those examples – they’ll help our designers/product team understand the exact use cases. Almost like general team and specific job announcements. Makes sense!

@jen (great username grab btw - highly coveted!): Consider popping the suggested feature(s) in our product ideas section, Workable.next: https://community.workable.com/ideas

Hey @Ryan Varney, do you have a plan to integrate hiring managers citation (inbox) wihth Slack channels?

I’d love to see auto-actions be able to send the integrated tests automatically upon application - should candidates pass the application questions. 

Totally agree with the ideas above, that would be really helpful as we are so focused on driving velocity 

We would also really like the ability to do more on the bulk side, eg be able to edit source, add tags, etc  if that would be possible? 

Another thing that would be really helpful would be to have the jobs that candidates have applied to show to each hiring manager/ standard member even if they have not been assigned to the other roles, 

we have many candidates that apply for a number of different roles in different locations and so appears to some team members as the only application, where in fact they have made atleast 3 and are all being progressed separately with no visibility of each other - that would be amazing!

Hey @Ryan Varney ,

With regards to event description templates, it would be super helpful if recruiters can attached documents as well when sending the invite out. Hope this can be considered.

@Ryan Varney Thanks for sharing. C

@Ryan Varney Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if we could add a section as: ‘’ reasons of rejection’’ for each stage and could extract it in the report too. For example how many of the candidates were rejected because of lack of competencies , or how many of the candidates Withdrew during the process, etc. :) 

@Cordeiro that’s on our radar as we shape the roadmap for 2023! That’s a great one to add to our product ideas section of Community, Workable.next https://community.workable.com/ideas

@GlobalRecruiter I think I also shared this in another thread, but you can do that! Automated Actions can automatically send a Workable Assessment or assessment from another provider.

@Joey we are going to have improved bulk actions in our candidates page redesign toward the later half of this year, and I know bulk tagging is included - I’ll have to check about bulk editing.

Also, with this redesign, HM’s and other account members will be able to see what other jobs the candidate is in, but won’t be able to click into that job, of course!

@May Leen this makes sense, I’ve marked it down! This would be a great thing to include in the  Workable.next section of Community: https://community.workable.com/ideas

@SaharV I could see how that would be helpful, a great thing to add to our Product Ideas sections of Community, Workable.next: https://community.workable.com/ideas
 

@Ryan Varney - correct, but only is a manual movement is made from one stage to the next - it would be ideal to have the option for the tests to be issues automatically upon application (and passing qualifying application questions) ;-)

@GlobalRecruiter ah, that makes sense! I’ll mark it down.
