The team at Hire Abroad believes that the technology that supports recruitment should advance just as fast as the market it caters to. Good development means timely bug fixes and expanding features and that’s why we’re sharing with you our latest platform updates.
From smarter tools to subtle design refinements, every new functionality is designed to streamline your workflow, reduce friction, and help you find the best person for the job even faster.
Here’s an overview of what’s new and why it matters.
For Recruiters: Emphasizing Tailored Experiences
Usability & Personalisation: Do Your Work Your Way
User experiences are more or less what make a digital solution work or fail. We understand the importance of working on a platform that’s intuitive, easy to navigate and can be customisable to your personal preferences. Here are the latest updates in this department:
Light and Dark Mode
Switching between these two distinct themes can help you reduce eye strain and create a more pleasant working environment. Dark mode isn’t just a trend, it can also be a remedy for your eyes, especially during extended hours of usage.
Adjustable Menu Layouts And General UI Refinements
Customize your menu layouts according to your browsing habits and screen setup. The new adjustable layouts can support horizontal, static, and overlay navigation to make your job easier.
The team also made several updates to the fonts and interface-user interactions, which make using the site more intuitive and overall a cleaner experience while performing your daily tasks.
“My Candidates” View
Focus solely on the people you manage. The My Candidates view comes with a dedicated dashboard that helps you remain on top of things. A simple tweak that can go a long way in improving focus and communication efficiency.
Saved Filters
You can also create and save custom filters on your candidate list. This allows you to refine your search criteria and speed up your overall work process.
Why do these usability updates matter? Having more control over the platform and being able to tailor specific features to your likings can help you optimise your workflow and get more work done faster, with less effort.
Smarter Candidate & Vacancy Management
Being able to manage your vacancies and candidates easier allows you to nurture more blossoming relationships with both sides of your pipeline. Happy candidates in these cases usually also mean happy employers and often, small tweaks in your platform features is what makes these relationships stronger.
Vacancy Filters by Sector, Profession, and English Level
Narrow down your job listings by different categories such as sector, category, or language requirements to improve matching efficiency even further.
Custom Date Ranges
Improve your search by narrowing down your candidate list by registration or status change rates. Make your outreach strategy and analytics razor-sharp and meticulous in order to receive the data which will make your recruitment workflow even more efficient.
Driving License & Travel Proof Fields
Add and manage travel-critical documentation directly in the candidate profile.
Unblock Candidates
Previously blocked candidates won’t disappear into oblivion anymore. You can re-engage them with a single click, without admin support and similar hassle.
Required Date of Birth
A simple feature that allows candidates to create more consistent profiles and make place of birth an optimal field for faster and easier data entry.
Why does this matter? Advanced search filters help you stay organised, compliant and focused on your candidates and available roles, making it easier to find the right people for the right jobs.
Public Vacancy Sharing: Expand Your Reach
Effective recruitment is all about getting in front of as many of the right people as possible. With your network and vast knowledge of the industry and our new sharing features, you will be able to expand your reach and grow your candidate pool with a few easy clicks.
Public Vacancy Links
Public links allow you to generate easily shareable job links. These links are URLs that anyone can click on and access the pertaining resource, may that be a file, folder, meeting, or in this case, a job vacancy, without needing specific permissions or having to log in.
This means that you can quickly post across websites, social platforms, or messaging apps with ease.
Custom Recruiter Email Display
Decide which recruiter email appears on public listings to manage communication and leads more effectively.
Improved Public Search
We improved our search features not just for you, but candidates as well. Just as you can filter listings and your lists, they can also filter public job listings with free-text keywords. This speeds up their search process and helps them find relevant roles faster.
Why does this matter? You need all the tools you can get to grow your candidate list and grow your recruitment business. The ability to reach more people faster is key to get ahead in the market and build stronger relationships with both candidates and clients.
For Admins: More Control, Less Work
Admin Controls & Integrations: Better Oversight, Efficient Operations
Managing your team on an online platform should be about ease, simplicity, and effectiveness. Our latest admin feature enhancements improve role management controls, get comprehensive, real-time data, and cached features for faster analytics and insight generation.
Recruiter Role Management
Assign predefined roles (e.g., Admin Recruiter, Normal Recruiter) when onboarding team members to ensure proper access levels.
Metabase Dashboard Integration
Admins can now view real-time performance dashboards directly within the platform. In other words, Recruiter Admins now have access to dashboards with data we collect about their teams (such as number of registrations per each recruiter, their candidate statuses, now show data, etc). It’s located in the Dashboard tab in their platform and only Recruiter Admins can see it.
Cached Metabase Charts
Any chart that takes longer than five seconds to load will now be cached for faster future access. Speed is the name of the game
Wiertz API Integration
Automatically sync candidate data between Hire Abroad and Wiertz, which eliminates manual input and improves accuracy. Expanding the capabilities of the Hire Abroad platform also means seamless integration with other ecosystems. Interconnectedness is the future norm for every respectable platform.
Why does it matter? Greater control, cleaner data, and less admin work for platform owners and large recruitment teams.
For Candidates: Faster Integration & Preferences
Candidate Registration Upgrades: Smoother Start For Your Candidates
At the end of the day, the candidates are the most important aspect of our jobs. In addition to all the recruitment and admin upgrades, we also went the extra mile to ensure that their experiences are also up to par with yours.
Candidate Message at Signup
During signup, candidates now have the option to leave a note, which offers more context for preferences, helping recruiters act more insightfully and with more meaning.
Age Instead of Full Date of Birth
A simplified age entry improves candidate onboarding while still giving recruiters essential demographic insight.
Why does it matter? A streamlined signup process helps candidates get started quickly. Don’t forget that the world of blue-collar recruitment is all about speed and efficiency. Enabling candidates to sign up faster and leave notes regarding their preferences give recruiters the option to work faster and more accurately.
General Fixes & Stability Improvements
Bug fixes and stability tweaks to improve transparency, user experience, and overall platform functionality.
- Recruiter Profile Pictures: Now visible in the activity log for better transparency.
- Document Uploads: Fixed “Something went wrong” errors for smoother file handling.
- Recruiter Email Formatting: Reformatted for clarity, professionalism, and consistency across communications.
Why does it matter? Every small fix and improvement servers the user experience, allowing you to work smoother and with ease across the board.
What’s Next
These releases from late April throughout May focused on helping recruiters work faster and reduce manual errors. More improvements are already in development, new features that will further improve search, collaboration, and analytics functionality.
