Beamery Glossary of Key Terms

Boolean Search

Our AI and the Skills driven searches driven by this technology are incredibly powerful, but there is often a lot of other data on a Profile or buried in attachments that you might want to target with keyword searches. With Beamery's Boolean search you have even more capability available to identify the right candidates more easily. Learn more here.

Bulk Actions

Bulk actions in Beamery are designed to help your team move faster and be more productive. By using our filters to identify multiple candidates, you are able to apply a bulk action to those contacts at scale. Learn more here.

Campaigns

Campaigns in Beamery can be used to create highly personalized email messages to target a large group of candidates in your CRM. If a candidate fails to open their first email, or if they don't click on a link, you can schedule automatic follow-ups to source or nurture new candidate relationships. Learn more here.

Convert Flows

Beamery Convert allows you to capture candidate data for your recruitment initiatives at key candidate touchpoints, such as first contact, job application, joining a talent community, or registering for an event. Convert uses Flows, which are forms that allow you to collect information that allows you to more rapidly target talent with the right opportunities at the right time and personalize your candidate experience. Learn more here.

Custom Fields

Alongside standard fields on a contact’s record, Administrators are able to create additional fields to capture their own custom data. (For example level, areas of interest, marketing preferences, salary information, candidate assessment scores, available dates and so much more). These fields can also have User Role based permissions tied to them so they are hidden from all Users except to Super Admins, so it’s possible to use them to capture sensitive information such as diversity data for reporting purposes. Learn more here.

Pipelines

Pipelines are a way of grouping together and categorizing talent pools. For example, you might have an Engineering Talent Pipeline containing specific Front-end, Back-end, QA and DevOps pools. Learn more here.

Pools

Pools in Beamery offer a great way to group and manage candidates around particular skills profiles and personas and enable you to nurture candidate relationships in a more targeted way. Learn more here.

Profile

The profile offers a view of all candidate data, activity and engagement. From the Profile that is available in most People lists, you can view a Contact’s career history, edit fields, add tags, and assign to pools, campaigns and vacancies. In the Timeline you can view a contact's history of messages and interactions with Beamery users as an activity feed, the Custom Fields tab is where all the structured data on a Contact has been captured and Attachments (e.g., CV/resume). Learn more here.

Profile Tags

Profile Tags are like mini global tags that can be applied to a contact within Beamery and used to search and filter. Unlike Global Tags, they don’t need to be set up and managed by your Admin Team, giving Recruiters and Sourcers the flexibility to build their own codes for their niche business areas. For example, a candidate might have Global Tags of Engineering, Helsinki, and Director Level, in addition to profile tags of Javascript, Angular, Agile, Part-time to help you really refine the search for the perfect candidate.

Recipe Automations

Beamery Recipes are automated workflows that recruiters can use to save time, nurture candidate relationships, identify relevant talent and seamlessly manage candidates down the recruiting funnel. Think of it as an “If This Then That” tool, selecting a Trigger and an Action for each Recipe to automatically update Contacts meeting specific criteria. Learn more here.

Skills

Most organizations are moving to a skills-based approach to hiring. Using Skills as the currency by which talent is matched to jobs, you can find candidates who can do the job, not just the ones who have had a particular job title in the past. Skills in Beamery are built around a normalized intelligent Taxonomy and added to Contact Profiles via a combination of sources including being parsed from CV/Resume, declared by Candidates themselves in a Convert Flow or the Candidate Portal, Inferred from current or past Job Titles using Beamery’s Skills AI or added by a Recruiter or Hiring Manager directly in the CRM. Our Skills AI then allows you to quickly match Contacts to Vacancies using Suggested Contacts in Vacancies or Pools or find Similar Contacts using an existing Contact in the database. Learn more here.

Status

The Global Status allows you to track where a candidate is in the recruitment funnel and how long they’ve been at that Status to determine whether and how you should be approaching contacts about vacancies, or with other forms of communication. (E.g Lead, Prospect, Rejected by Company). Learn more here.

Suggested Contacts

Suggested Contacts uses Beamery’s Smart Matching to surface quality suggestions to help you find the ideal contacts. This feature is available in Pools & Vacancies. Suggested Contacts uses either all the Contacts in a Pool or the Vacancy Calibration data to construct an Ideal Candidate Profile and recommend contacts, ranked by how closely they match that ideal candidate. Learn more here.

Tasks

Beamery helps your team become more productive with in-app Tasks. You can create tasks for yourself or assign one to a colleague. Tasks can be directly related to a candidate, talent pool or vacancy. Learn more here.

Vacancies

With an integration in place between your ATS and Beamery, Requisitions in your ATS sync to Beamery as Vacancies. These Vacancies in Beamery typically sync with the Vacancy Owner (provided that person is a User in your ATS and Beamery and the email addresses match in both systems), A Status (Open, Closed etc.), a Group (typically this is mapped from the area of the business the Req is being delivered for, such as “Legal”), a Location, a Job URL and any Global Tags you have set up in both systems so the Req can be categorized. Any Applicants on those Requisitions that exist in both systems will then sync to Beamery, with a Vacancy Stage. Learn more here.

Vacancy Stages

A vacancy stage allows you to track where candidates are in the active hiring process when added to a particular vacancy in Beamery or your ATS. For example, a candidate may have the status 'interviewing' but sit within the ‘code test’ or 'final assessment center' vacancy stages. Learn more here.
