We want to thank the people that gave us feedback this week after SF New Tech. And, we want to give a special thanks to Loren Cheng who works on the PayPal Platform Product Management team and writes for X.com. On his blog “Geek out With Us” he wrote a review of our recent Newton demo.
Here’s an excerpt.
“Their software looked like a fairly run-of-the-mill (but cleanly designed) process control package — calendars, candidates, blah blah –until they got to the metrics: buttery smooth graphic representations of data sliceable in lots of different ways to figure out where your candidates stalled or fell out. The power of Flex. Who knew recruiting software could be sexy?”
So, thanks Loren and cheers to you! We knew recruiting software could be sexy.
We had a great time at SF New Tech this week though our presentation started off a little bumpy. Someone disconnected our internet connection before we got on stage. In the video, you can see Steve lean over and mouth, “we don’t have a connection”. You may be able to hear people yell for me to tell jokes. I didn’t. Truth is, the delay loosened me up a bit. And a man I consider to be wise, once told me, “don’t make comments or jokes when you don’t know who in the audience you are going to offend.” I survived. Watch the video and see for yourself. Add a comment to tell us what you think.
If you are interested in technology, SF New Tech is a good event supported by an enthusiastic community. Cheers Myles!
We just made it faster and easier to analyze your recruiting program using Newton. Now you’ll see a tab on your home page called “Analytics” replacing the “Overview” tab. Click the Analytics tab to open a an interactive dashboard that will help you slice and dice you recruiting program. You can analyze your recruiting data based on a selected period of time or by job, or both.
This release, v3.6, is the first of several planned releases to tackle analytics. With a focus on measuring stage-to-stage metrics, we wanted to help our customers answer fundamental questions.
Where do I have bottlenecks?
Where can I get involved to make an immediate impact?
Is everyone in the process doing their part?
Am I spending money on the right resources?
Most importantly, we want to give our customers the power to know when something is going wrong before anyone else notices -to be proactive. After all, as John, our product manager, says, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
