We have some new features that were rolled out and we thought you could take advantage of them.

Automated Resume Matcher 
This new application automatically identifies candidates that exist in your talent management software. You’ll notice this feature by going into the Talent Screen for a job. In there you’ll see a new bucket called “Resume Matcher.” Here’s how it works: COMPAS will take the Position Categories and Skills from the Job Details page and automatically match applicable candidates from the applicant tracking system via their resumes. Those candidates are displayed and ranked in the bucket using a 5 star system.

Search with Flags     
You may have noticed already that COMPAS has a flagging system that allows a user to flag a candidate. Now you can run searches with flags from the Applicant Tracking home page. Just check the box or boxes of the flags you want to search by.

Internal Job Board whiteboard_icon-e1337197563791
You may have noticed already that COMPAS made some updates to the user interface on the Job Board. When hovering over a job, we’re now shading that specific position to make it easier to view. We’ve also added a more intuitive interface for moving candidates through the interview process. When hovering over a stage, you can choose Active, Declined or Rescheduled. This makes it easier to select the correct next steps for the candidate.
Applicant Tags red-sale-tag-e1337197676844
There have been several requests to create your own custom way to tag candidates. So COMPAS created the ability for you to go into the Table Editor and create whatever tags and sub tags that you’d like. These tags will show up in the Categorization tab of candidate profiles and within the search page of Applicant Tracking.

Integrated Interview Scheduler calendar-icon1-e1337197845443
Do you want to provide your customers with the white glove service by coordinating their interview team schedules? COMPAS makes this easy to do within the Job Board. After you select an Active stage for a candidate, you’ll see a check box that reads “Include Interview Scheduler.” Once you check that box, you’ll have the ability to line up times for all the interviewers that will be interviewing your candidate.

Better yet, check the Invite box to sync it with the interviewer’s calendar and then select the candidate’s resume to include it within the invitation. Lastly, click Save and the interview is booked.

Quick tip: Hover over your newly saved stage to see the notes and complete interview schedule.
Automated Feedback Capability  feedback-icon-e1337197818946
Are you tired of trying to track down your clients to get feedback on your candidates? With COMPAS’s automated feedback capability, you can create an easy-to-use feedback form that will get you that highly desired feedback in record time! While using the new Interview Scheduler, you can select Feedback Forms for the interviewers to answer. By design, the link to these online forms won’t be sent out until after the interview has begun. We’ve taken this feature a step further by allowing all Owners of a job to receive an email every time a Feedback Form is submitted. Additionally, each email will include forms that have already been submitted as well as show you which ones are still pending. You can also check on feedback by going to the Applicant Feedback tab within the applicant’s profile. This tab won’t exist unless the applicant has previous or pending feedback. You’ll notice that you can re-send forms to the interviewers from there as well.

Note:  Use the new Template Editor to manage your Feedback Forms.

New Partner
COMPAS Integrates with Adobe’s EchoSign echosign
The integration for the Corporate Platform automates the on boarding process for new hires. The interface allows for easy sending of documentation from their document library and also allows the user to upload new customized documentation. The integration is seamless, allowing the COMPAS user to track every step of the process including time of creation, distribution, review by signer, and signature. Most importantly, the document(s) will be automatically stored in that candidate’s record making documentation storage collaborative and extremely organized. Learn More

COMING SOON!

Candidate Pipeline Management  target33x33
COMPAS makes it easy to search, source and build your applicant pipeline. Through our efforts to streamline the process we learned that we now need to make it easy to organize the pipeline of candidates even further. As a result, we’re developing a new application within the Pipeline of the Talent screen that allows you to organize your list of candidates via drag and drop and monitor what stage these candidates are at in the recruiting / screening process.

Single Sign On (SSO)  lock-icon
COMPAS added single sign on capabilities for enterprise partners using Ping Identity technology. Enterprise customers are always looking for more Single Sign On (SSO) options, as SSO cuts down on the number of passwords users have to maintain. In addition, SSO offers a more unified experience for the end user, which further reduces support.

We have some new features that were rolled out and we thought you could take advantage of them.
Automated Offer Approval Processing
We just shipped a new feature that automates offer approvals for candidates. This feature can be used for a candidate on your internal job board. To route an offer for approval, just change the stage of a candidate to one of your Offer stages. You’ll notice in the window pane, a section that will allow you to confirm the offer details and include an approval process by checking the box. Once the box is checked, the user will have the ability to create an approval team. When you’re ready to get approvals, just click save and COMPAS will route the offer details to each member of the approval team in the order that you specified.

Booking Conference Rooms meeting-room1
We made it easy for you to coordinate the use of conference rooms when creating an interview. Now you can book rooms from the Interview Scheduler (you create the rooms in the Table Editor and for gmail users you can view the free/busy of rooms).

You probably logged into COMPAS this morning and said, “why is the COMPAS icon just hanging out at the top of my screen?”

We made it easier to find the locations you last visited. You can now hover over the COMPAS icon at the top of the screen to easily find and track the candidates, client contacts, companies, jobs and opportunities you recently viewed. We’re working to cut down the number of clicks it takes to get things done and we believe this will help.

San Francisco, CA – COMPAS Technology is a Silicon Valley based Talent Management Software Company that delivers two unique talent management products that are tailored to Corporate Recruiting Departments and Staffing Agencies. COMPAS announced today the release of Adobe’s EchoSign electronic signature services, integrated to both the Corporate and Staffing platforms.

The integration for the Corporate Platform automates the on boarding process for new hires. The interface allows for easy sending of documentation from their document library and also allows the user to upload new customized documentation. The integration is seamless, allowing the COMPAS user to track every step of the process including time of creation, distribution, review by signer, and signature. Most importantly, the document(s) will be automatically stored in that candidate’s record making documentation storage collaborative and extremely organized.

The integration in the Staffing Platform includes the automated on boarding but also allows users to send contracts to their customers for electronic signing. This integration provides the same easy to use interface within the Client Record located in the CRM and Job Order applications. This enables the user to organize the Fee Agreements against the Client Record and a Statement of Work against the Job Order / Contract Record.

“We worked hard to provide our customers on both platforms the deepest level of integration possible with EchoSign. By doing so we’re increasing visibility and decreasing the administrative burden relating to agreements. On boarding candidates and completing contracts are unnecessarily time consuming activities in our industry. With this integration, we’re confident our users will cut those times in half. At COMPAS, we use the same product that we sell to manage our business… this functionality has added tremendous value to our sales and recruitment efforts.” Tommy Semereaux – Director of Product Development

Team COMPAS @ the ERE Expo

April 5th, 2012

We wanted to drop a note to thank everyone for stopping by the COMPAS Technology booth at the ERE Expo. It was our first time attending the Expo as exhibitors and we not only enjoyed San Diego, we met great people within the industry too.

In Case You Forgot Who We Are…
COMPAS Technology is a relatively new Applicant Tracking and Workforce Management Solution. We have two product lines that support both the Corporate Recruiting Teams and the Staffing Industry.

Our Favorite Parts of the Show…

Break Out Session:
We really enjoyed the Breakout Session Creating a Great Candidate Experience without a Big Budget, Big Staff, or Big Brand. In case you missed it, you can always view that session here. We felt that LaShena had some really good points about the importance of the candidate experience and that they related well to COMPAS’s capability of allowing candidates to apply quickly via our software.

Visitor Response: We were really excited by our visitor’s responses to our User Interface and Ease of Use. Todd Raphael (Editor in Chief at ERE Media) had positive things to say as well:

The Indeed After Party:

Um, needless to say we enjoyed the night life in San Diego too. Indeed had a great “get together” at Roys that was a welcomed time out. Thank you Indeed !

In Closing…

It was a pleasure meeting you and we appreciate your time. If you’re interested in reviewing our new and cutting edge Corporate Recruiting or Staffing Agency Platforms, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Good Things

April 4th, 2012

San Francisco, CA, Feb 9thCOMPAS Technology is a Silicon Valley based Talent Management Software Company that delivers two unique talent management products that are tailored to both Corporate Recruiting Departments and Staffing Agencies. COMPAS is offering a continuation program that welcomes all organizations that may be effected by Oracle’s recent Taleo acquisition.

Customers that are not interested in making the switch to Oracle can take advantage of COMPAS’s Discount Program. If you’re a current Taleo customer and you’re tired of poor support and lack of product enhancement cycles, this may be your opportunity to make a change. The program provides the following incentives to all current Taleo customers:

Some of you may have heard of COMPAS already, but for those of you who haven’t, you should check them out. Unlike many recruiting technology start ups, the management came up through the ranks as real recruiting practitioners. This group of recruiting business owners in the Silicon Valley came together and formed a recruiting software company called COMPAS Technology. They’re a midsized, business savvy team who entered the recruiting industry through elite companies such as TEKsytems, Apex Systems, Cypress HCM, Aquent and others.

But don’t let their background as recruiting practitioners make you think they aren’t contenders. The management of COMPAS is competitive and they make no bones about going after the big box recruiting software companies. They’re privately funded, already profitable, and bringing customers on board by beating out publicly traded and other well known software companies.

Here’s the most intriguing part, they’re sprinting through the industry on both sides of the house selling two different recruiting platforms – one for the corporate sector, called COMPAS for Corporate, and another for the staffing industry, called COMPAS for Staffing. Pretty smart, right? You should see the software… it’s even smarter. Additionally, they’ve recently moved downstream to help out small businesses with a new Small Business Edition product for both the corporate and staffing sectors.

COMPAS consistently receives glowing reviews from their
global client base. Clients praise COMPAS’s frequent product
enhancements, high level customer service and support, and
user-friendly features.

Three Hot Features:

1. Video Conferencing

Every edition of COMPAS has an integrated video conferencing capability that allows their users to setup video conference interviews with up to 4 people. This is a great technology to make your team more productive and cost efficient.

2. Outlook & Gmail Mail Integration

Every addition of COMPAS comes with the ability to integrate with Outlook or Gmail, allowing their users to seamlessly sync emails (sending or receiving), calendaring items, tasks, or resumes.

3. True Cross Browser Compatibility

There are no downloads or software to run on your PC or Mac. You can run this software on any machine and any browser, including mobile and iPad devices. It’s a true SaaS software… so many of their competitors only work in IE or on a PC. Knowing that alternative browsers are gaining steam, the COMPAS team worked hard to ensure that their software works the same for everyone regardless of the device or browser.

Two Focused Recruiting Software Editions:

COMPAS for Corporate Recruiting

There isn’t anything missing from the Corporate Platform.
They’ve made it simple to understand and identify what’s right for
your company. Additionally, their SaaS technology allows you to start
small and build as you grow by easily adding features, users,
locations and more.

COMPAS for Staffing

The Staffing Platform that they’ve developed is truly one of a kind. It can and does run staffing companies with multiple offices as well as integrate to their payroll and accounting systems. They also have a small business staffing product that can scale up to an ERP for the staffing industry without all the costs.

One Great Reason to Contact COMPAS

As an efficient, affordable solution, COMPAS Technology’s recruiting software raises the bar. If you’re frustrated with your recruiting product, don’t have one, or want to see all that recruiting software can be, contact a COMPAS Recruiting Professional today for a consultation.

COMPAS Technology recently completed an independent study to get into the minds of candidates and identify what is keeping them from applying to a position… We hooked up some analytical tools to the careers pages of several clients that were interested in participating. Here is the bottom line:  if the application process takes longer than 90 seconds, the rate of candidates that bounce (candidates that do not complete the process) increases significantly. Download the White Page here.

After 90 seconds the bounce rate increases significantly

With COMPAS, your candidates can apply in 60 seconds or less!
