Talent Acquisition teams and Hiring Managers often struggle to align. With too much back-and-forth and a constant need to re-calibrate once an initial slate of candidates has been reviewed, it’s hard for teams to get work done. Beamery is making much of this sluggish work more effective and, importantly, simpler with new Hiring Manager Experience. Learn how you can use tools in Beamery to most effectively collaborate with your Hiring Manager and get work done, fast!
Smart Profiles
With a new at-a-glance view, you and your Hiring Manager can understand a profile’s potential without opening the resume. More on the new Smart Profile here.
Once you find a profile that looks to be a good fit for the role, you can quickly send it to your Hiring Manager for review. More on how to share a candidate profile for review here.
Vacancy Calibration
Vacancy calibration allows you to target ideal profiles by fine-tuning a Vacancy to match the specific needs of a role. Calibrated Vacancies generate better candidate matches and more qualified candidate suggestions. More on Vacancy Calibration here. But knowing if your Vacancy is in alignment with the ideal candidate your Hiring Manager has in mind can be tricky. Now, Beamery allows you to get your Hiring Manager involved in the Calibration process. Just choose your Hiring Manager from the dropdown list at the bottom of the Calibration page and Beamery will notify them by email.
They’ll be able to quickly access the Vacancy Calibration from their email, review your choices, and make edits of their own - keeping you on track as you source for your Vacancy. When calibrating your Vacancy, just click in the search box at the bottom to find the correct Hiring Manager and then click Save.
Homepage
We have also redesigned your Homepage, more on that here, to be easily accessible and targeted to help you and your Hiring Manager quickly see what needs to be completed and where to focus efforts.
From the new Homepage, use Tasks as a way to collaborate with your Hiring Manager to get work done. Start by clicking on Tasks in the left-hand navigation bar.
Here you will see all the tasks assigned to you. To create a task for your Hiring Manager, click Add Task in the top right-hand corner.
Then, share a message with your Hiring manager in the Task Description, assign the task to your Hiring Manager, set a due date and then choose if you would like to associate the task with a specific Pool or Vacancy. Once you’re ready, click Create Task in the bottom right-hand corner.
Now the next time your Hiring Manager logs into Beamery, they will see your task on their homepage and be prompted to complete it by reviewing the candidates.

How do I get my Hiring Manager excited about using Beamery?
At Beamery, we know your Hiring Manager doesn't want to use another tool. So, we won't ask them to login and use Beamery the way a Recruiter or a Sourcer would. Instead, we want to meet them where they already work.
To start, we will send them emails with clear objectives. For some content, your Hiring Manager will be able to review the request you make in Beamery from their email, with all the necessary information, and reply with a clear answer - all without ever logging into Beamery. For other things, like collaborating on a Vacancy Calibration, the email sent to your Hiring Manager will log them in to Beamery on the exact page you made the request from.
Focus on the ease of use and don't forget about the benefits. Using another tool isn't always enjoyable, but how many meetings can they remove from their calendars just by replying to a few clear emails? You'll also unlock the benefit of aligning on skills. Your Hiring Manager will get a better shortlist of candidates, and improved visibility into the hiring process. Once a Vacancy is calibrated to the right skills the review process will become quicker and you'll improve your quality of hire. Plus, collaborating in Beamery reduces time to hire and finds more quality candidates for a role.
