We’ve got an exciting one for you this month!

Candidate Search! A feature designed to make your recruitment process faster, smarter, and so much easier.

This one’s for anyone who’s tired of manually trawling through old applications or feeling like great candidates have slipped through the cracks. Here’s everything you need to know about this new addition to Compono Hire—it might just become your favourite recruitment feature yet.

What is Candidate Search (and why should you care)?

Candidate Search does exactly what it says on the tin—it lets you search through your existing talent pool to find the absolute best match for your roles quickly.

Think of it like giving your past recruitment efforts a second life.

By tapping into candidates who’ve already shown interest in your organisation, you’re cutting out some major hurdles in the hiring process.

Here’s why Candidate Search is getting a thumbs-up from us (and, we suspect, will from you too):

• Faster hiring: No more wasting time scouring through old applications. Find your top picks in minutes.
• Cost-effective: Save on recruitment costs by reconsidering past applicants instead of stretching the budget to bring in new ones.
• Access to talent: These candidates already know you, and they liked you enough to apply before. That’s a strong starting point.

How does it work?

The simplicity of Candidate Search is part of what makes it so good. Here’s a quick breakdown of how it operates behind the scenes and gets you results faster than your morning coffee machine.

1. Automatic talent pooling: Every candidate who’s applied to a role within your organisation is automatically added to your talent pool.
2. Search with ease: Using specific criteria like skills, qualifications, location, or even just a name or email, you can deep-dive into your database.
3. Browse results: The search will bring up to 500 candidates that fit your criteria. Scroll through and select anyone who catches your eye for a closer look.
4. Explore profiles: Each profile gives you insights like work personality, qualifications, skills, past job applications, and even preferred locations.

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

What's coming next...

Like all great things, we’re starting with a solid foundation and building from there. We have a more extensive keyword search and job matching on our roadmap!
