Hello out there in SmartRecruiters land! Itâs the holiday season, which means we come bearing 🎁GIFTS🎀 in the form of new features! We release new features every month, and this month is extra special because it includes ideas submitted by you in our SmartIdeas feature forum. So without further ado, here are the great new capabilities included in the December release.
1. Hiring Plan Analytics
This one was submitted by our users! Click here to see the submission.
Last month, we introduced Pipeline Analytics (the best way to get a glance of your entire hiring process). This month, weâre made these hiring analytics more powerful with Hiring Plan Analytics!
Hiring Plan Analytics provide insight into your hiring plan through real-time reports that track hiring progress against goals. They also allow you to drill into time-to-hire and time-to-start metrics to better understand opportunities for improvement across all your companyâs departments and locations.
You can learn more about all of the Recruiting Analytics in the SmartRecruiters TA Platform here.
2. Notifications Bell on Mobile
Nothing is more important to hiring today than having all of your information available on your phone📱! We introduced the notification bell to SmartRecruiters in the October 2015 release. Now that same bell is available in the SmartRecruiters mobile app, allowing you to stay up to date from anywhere when something in your hiring process needs your attention. We all know that Time-to-Hire is important, and you can drive it faster by managing your hiring process while standing in line for a delicious latte! âď¸âď¸âď¸
3. New Marketplace Partners
We love our partners, and these new integrations will make your hiring process even easier.

- Skillmeter: This ensures you’re hiring successfully by pre-selecting candidates based on their actual skills and knowledge.
