Now you can track the detailed status of each of your applications in Simplicant! With this feature, you can find out which of your applicants are in which stage of the hiring process, e.g. New, Screened, Interviewed, Hired and so on. In addition to this, you can even define your own hiring work-flow, and change the work-flow stages that are provided by default. For example, a software firm may want to use multiple interview stages, “Technical Interview” and “HR Interview” followed by “Final Interview”.

On the applications page, you can view the status of each application as shown in the screenshot on the right. You can also sort and filter the applications based on their current status in the system. The system also tracks when an applicant status was changed, the to/from status, and the name of the user who changed it. This “History” option is available from the Application Summary page.

And if that isn’t enough, each stage has its own color to make the system more intuitive and for you to be able to quickly identify candidates’ status. These colors are also customizable, and you have a whole set of colors to choose from!

To change your hiring work-flow and select colors for each, go to the “Stages” tab within the Settings page. Here you can add new stages to your work-flow, edit the current ones, assign colors to each of them, and remove the ones that you do not need.

The feature is up and running, and is available on both new and existing accounts (all packages)! A note for existing customers: The new status has replaced the old “Processed / Unprocessed” status field.

When our customers sign up for an account, many of them complain that they aren’t very comfortable with completely replacing their Careers page with the simplicant jobs page, typically because they have a lot of other information on the page, for example what kind of people they are looking for, how it is like to be working at the company, and so on.

Listening to our customers (as we always do!), we are proud to announce the new Jobs Widget feature! With this feature, you can show your job openings within your careers page, simply by embedding a code snippet in the HTML. Any changes to your job openings in simplicant will be reflected in the widget, so you don’t have to worry about making changes to your site every time you add/modify/delete a job opening. When candidates click on a job opening in the widget, they will be taken to the job details page, from where they can apply for the job.

We obviously care about the aesthetics of your website and Careers section, and therefore allow you to change the look and feel of your widget, so that it blends in with the rest of your website. Custom CSS gives you complete control over colors, font sizes, list images, and a lot more.

To change the look and feel of your widget, and to get your widget code snippet, just go to the Widget page in the Settings section. You can also preview your widget on this page before finalizing it and embedding it in your website.

We believe that this is a major step forward towards seamlessly integrating simplicant with your website, and we hope that you will find this feature useful. In case you need any help or run into any problems, feel free to contact us at support [at] simplicant [dot] com!
