Notes in JobScore just got radically better

Note alert emails 

JobScore can now let you know when your colleagues add notes to candidates.  

Here’s how it works: we’ve added a “note alerts” control for each member of the hiring team for every job.  When you turn on note alerts that person is  notified every time someone else adds a note to a candidate.

Add notes by email

You’ll now see “Reply above this line” at the top of many JobScore emails. When you reply to these emails the text and attachments of your response are added to JobScore as a note.

This is great for hiring managers and mobile email users - it make it super-simple to add feedback without logging into the system.

Capture email discussions in notes

Turning on note alerts for your entire hiring team makes it easy to capture conversations about candidates by just replying to emails… there’s no need to log in or remember to cut-and paste information into the system - the team can use email naturally and the entire discussion will be saved in JobScore.

Adding notes by email and capturing email discussions are only available for employers on our Premium Plan. Not on the premium plan?

Multi-user private notes

Need to share information with only a few people? Now when you make a note private you can allow other specific people to access it. This is particularly useful when recruiters and hiring managers need to share compensation information with each other - give it a try!

Multi-user private notes make note alerts much more usable. Only want a few people to be notified about a note instead of everyone? Just make it private.

Preview notes, tasks & emails

When a candidate is further along in the process they often already have many logged notes, emails and tasks

When you add a add new notes to one of these candidates many times you need to refer to old notes, tasks and emails… Now you can easily click to preview notes, emails and tasks inline - there’s no need to leave the page then come back and start over!

New Features and Enhancements

Here’s a quick summary of new features to look out for. Many of these enhancements were prioritized because folks like you voted them up in the JobScore ideas forum. Have something you’d like to see in JobScore? Suggest an idea today.

Decline Email Templates / Thank You Notes

Admins can now create multiple

decline / no thank you emails in addition to the “standard decline” email template.

Why:Providing a quality candidate experience requires you to say “no” to candidates in different ways depending on where they are in the process.

Publish / Un-Publish Jobs

Leave jobs open but have them not appear on your careers site - stopping all new job applications.

Why: Sometimes you need to work on a job and not have it posted on your careers site.

Withdrawn Status

Candidates can now be marked as declined (meaning you said no) or withdrawn (meaning the candidate chose not to continue the process).

Why:Many of you want to know how often candidates are opting out of the process - something worth paying attention to!

Job Requisition Numbers

When lists of jobs are shown, requisition numbers are displayed next to job titles.

Why:Many of you are working on the same job in more than one location, or filling jobs with the same title and over again - this makes it easier to figure out which job is which!

Fill Job Wizard

When you fill a job / hire a candidate you are

directed to a simple but powerful step-by-step “hire candidate” wizard.

Why:This makes it easy to complete your hiring checklist - and was necessary for accurate time-to-hire and source-of-hire reporting.

New Filter Controls

There are new multi-select controls in the filter on the candidate manager.

Why: Some of your job lists are getting long - this makes it easier to select groups of jobs.
