Welcome to the first phase of our game-changing update to the candidate’s profile: the Smart Profile. We've designed the new Overview tab to match the functionalities of your previous workflows and to elevate your experience with new features.
We know change can be both exciting and challenging. Beamery is committed to the partnership we have with our customers, which is why we're adopting a phased approach to this new feature. The Overview tab is our first step towards a complete transformation. While there will be a dual profile experience initially, we believe the value of the Overview tab will make this transition worthwhile.
Why make the switch?
- Enhanced design and user experience: The new Overview tab showcases a sleek and user-friendly design that elevates your interaction with candidate profiles. Experience a smoother, more intuitive navigation that accelerates your workflow.
- Share and collaborate: Collaborative recruiting has never been easier. The Overview tab lets you easily share candidate profiles with your TA colleagues and Hiring Managers, fostering seamless collaboration and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
