Recruitment and Dashboard improvements
Our development team has been super busy here these past few weeks, and we cannot wait to release some fairly major new enhancements to HR Partner in the coming weeks.
Sorting Applications
Firstly, just letting everyone know that an often requested feature, applicant sorting, has just been released. You have always been able to re-sort job applicants on the Kanban view manually, and have the system retain that ordering, but now you can quickly re-sort applicants according to their name, their star rating, or their application date.
This can be done on a stage by stage basis. The sorting by star rating is going to be especially useful soon! See below for why this is so.
Coming Soon: AI assisted application evaluation
Some of our lucky customers have already been Beta testing ADA our AI powered Applicant Data Analyst which is a new feature we are excited to release in the coming weeks.
Ada will basically sit alongside your other selection panel members, and she can evaluate incoming job applications either individually on demand, or automatically as they come in from your own HR Partner job board or third party job boards like Indeed.
Ada will look at the applicant's resume, cover letter, and their answers to your job application form, and compare it to your job listing to evaluate suitability. She will fill in your Scorecard with comments and star ratings, and add a Comment to the job application with her thoughts, and she will even see if the resume or cover letter was auto-generated using AI and warn you if the probability is high. (And yes, we appreciate the irony and challenges of using AI to catch AI! 😉).
Like all the AI tools we are building into HR Partner, we like to see AI work alongside and help humans, rather than replace them, and Ada is just that - another selection panel member that adds her thoughts and ratings to a job application to enable quicker summarising by other human panel members.
Once Ada has evaluated your applications, you can then use the new Sorting feature mentioned above to re-order applicants in a certain stage according to the star ratings she gave!
Coming Soon: Custom ESS Dashboard
Also coming our very soon is a completely configurable ESS dashboard, letting you choose which widgets are shown to your employees, and letting you remove widgets they don't need to see, and reordering other widgets to make common ones easier to get to.
We have also added a bunch of new widgets that you can choose from, including a more streamlined 'things for me to do' widget that groups all tasks that your employees need to do in one place for easier reference.
We have also added fun new widgets like a 'motivational quote of the day' and company mission statements etc. so you can really personalise your ESS dashboard and make it more useful for your employees.
Keep an eye out on this Workplace Blog for more about these new features as we release them - make sure you subscribe to the blog so you don't miss out.
As always, we value your feedback, so please let us know what you think about these new features and enhancements by sending us an email at support@hrpartner.io
