Product Update July 2025

Follow our monthly product updates as we share the latest features to help you strategically design and develop teams and the work environment.

We’ve got an exciting one for you this month: the next evolution of Candidate Search!

A feature designed to make your recruitment process faster, smarter, and more effective than ever before.

This isn't just an update; it's a complete transformation. We've gone beyond a basic search function to give you a powerful new way to find talent.

Our new search is powered by our Compono ranking engine. This means that instead of just getting a list of candidates who match your criteria, you get a prioritised list of the absolute best-fit candidates from your existing talent pool.

Why you'll love our new search

This powerful new search is for anyone who's tired of manually sifting through old applications or feeling like great candidates have slipped through the cracks.

It gives your past recruitment efforts a second life by tapping into candidates who have already shown interest in your organisation.

Here's why our new search will become your favourite recruitment tool:

• Smarter hiring: Our new search uses the Compono ranking engine to not only find candidates based on your criteria but also rank them by how well they fit your requirements.
• Faster results: Cut down on the time you spend manually reviewing applications. Our new search surfaces your best-fit candidates in seconds.
• Cost-effective: By reconsidering past applicants, you can save on recruitment costs and find top talent without needing to run new campaigns.
• Access to engaged talent: The candidates in your talent pool have already shown interest in your company, giving you a strong starting point for a conversation.

How does it work?

Our new search draws on the performance and search quality of Amazon OpenSearch technology to complement our existing AI architecture. Here's a quick breakdown of how it works behind the scenes to deliver powerful results:

1. Automatic talent pooling: Every candidate who has ever applied to a role within your organisation is automatically added to your talent pool.
2. Advanced search and matching: You can search your database using specific criteria like skills, qualifications, and location. Our Compono ranking engine then takes over, ranking the candidates who are the best match for your needs.
3. Explore and connect: The search will present a list of your top-ranked candidates, with each profile providing insights like work personality, qualifications, skills, and past applications. With our new search, you have a powerful tool to transform your pool of past applicants into a shortlist of future hires.

With our new Candidate Search, you’ve got all the tools to turn a pool of past applicants into a shortlist of future hires.
