We’re super excited about our upcoming release due out September 10th. Over half of the new features are customer recommendations. Last month, we did a large performance release to ensure that Newton has the capacity and speed to keep up with our growing customer base (we’re serious about performance). September is all about cool new features. Our development team is working away at building and testing 10 great new additions to Newton. We’ve figured we’d give you a quick look at what’s to come.
We’ll release more details on the “Tracking” feature in a couple of days. It will be the only feature of it’s kind in the applicant tracking software world. In the meantime, think “Twitter feed” for your recruiting program.
Here’s a discrete preview of what’s on tap for September.
In 2004, when we started to design the first iteration of Newton, one of our core ideas was to design applicant tracking software that could easily show someone what’s happening inside of a recruiting program at a glance. We wanted Newton’s home page to be “air traffic control”, only the stuff you need, the blips, not a bunch of peripheral clutter. We also knew that this “dashboard” needed to be interactive so users could drill into the data unlike the spreadsheets that so many people still use today.
Lately, we’ve been exploring some very cool ways to expand on the progress we’ve already made. Recently, we announced an enhancement that gives our customers the ability to view and manage recruiting data for multiple divisions or business units from on central dashboard – one login. Now our customers with multiple recruiting teams can stay on top of what’s going on in various BU’s or regions simply.
Currently, we’re working on enhancing the Newton home page by surfacing more critical data for our users in our 4.0 release due out in several weeks. And, our product design team is also working on improving Newton Analytics, currently our most popular recruiting dashboard. We even have some secret things in the mix that will come to fruition in the summer, stuff no one has seen yet. More to come.
