As many of you know, we’ve grown very quickly in the past two years. In fact, this year alone, our active user community has grown by over 1000%. By the end of the year, Newton will be managing nearly 1 million candidate records.
Given our growth and commitment to providing a stable, fast and ever-usable product, we are informing our user community that on Sunday morning for about 90 minutes we are going to be enhancing and improving Newton’s Infrastructure. There may be short periods of downtime during our 90 minute maintenance window.
Our technical team and cloud administrator are doubling Newton’s database size, implementing advanced load balancing technology and tuning a couple of other things to improve Newton’s performance in the Cloud.
Newton is modern, easy-to-use applicant tracking software designed to organize and improve internal recruiting programs for small and medium sized businesses (30-3000 employees). Newton features best-of-breed dashboards that create unparalleled visibility and transparency. And, Newton is the only ATS designed to drive the decisions that drive hiring taking into account all users in the corporate recruiting workflow. Industry leading adoption rates (+90%) ensure easy collaboration and powerful performance driven metrics allow HR and Recruiting users to be in control.
Whenever we design new features for Newton, our leading mid-market applicant tracking software, we always keep in mind that knowledge is power. We understand that a variety of people involved in the recruiting process come to Newton for answers so transparency and visibility are key. People who use Newton liken the home page to air traffic control for recruiting. It’s an instant staffing report online.
Well, we just made Newton’s home page more powerful by adding enhancements that provide even better visibility. Based on feedback from our user community and some ideas of our own, we’ve made some enhancements. In our most recent release, we give our users the power of viewing more information about jobs on the home page. And, you can now arrange jobs in a variety of different ways to meet you needs.
Starting next week, you can arrange jobs by:
Location
Job ID
Department
Date activated (oldest to newest)
You can choose how many jobs you want to display on your home page.
You can sort jobs alphabetically or sort them by oldest to newest.
And, you can even filter jobs on your home page by location or department.

Indeed finally unveiled its resume search service officially taking them from the world’s largest search engine for jobs to a more conventional employment site. We say bring it on. Indeed has always done a good job at keeping their tools easy-to-use and with the added functionality, we’re glad someone is giving the traditional sites (Monster, CareerBuilder) a run for their money. With that in mind, the resume search service on Indeed.com is free (for now).
The resume search is a straightforward search tool, identical to the site’s job search. Searches can be easily narrowed by simply selecting from a menu that appears with search results. We think one of the coolest features is the ability to roll over a job seekers name to reveal a preview of the resume without a click. Nice design.
Job seekers will appreciate the simplicity of the system. It accepts all forms of resumes and will import a user’s LinkedIn profile. Users can elect to keep the resume private and not findable in a search, or make it public. In the latter case, the contact information is stripped out. Employers use a form to contact the job seeker, who decides whether or not to respond. Job seekers can also apply to jobs they find on Indeed with their resume.
As with any candidate profile, Newton users can simply cut and paste a profile of the applicant into the system and use the parsing engine to add a candidate to their applicant tracking software.
