EEO Compliance. Make you nervous? Applicant flow logs, hired/offers logs, reasons for non-selection for every applicant, minimum requirements for every job. Tracking all of this is nearly impossible let alone actually reporting it – until now.
We’ve designed an elegant, powerful feature in our recruiting software to track and report all of your EEO data for you - automatically. No more going back in time to add missing data, no reason for spreadsheets and no extra work for your team. Newton’s EEO / OFCCP tracking feature is the most advanced on the market and we’ve designed it to be the easiest-to-use too.
Track reason for non-selection for every candidate, build appropriate minimum qualification questions for every job, ensure that you’re being an equal opportunity employer and build the same reports that used to take you weeks or months in minutes. Sign up with Newton, it’s like insurance for your recruiting program.
So here’s the deal. For the past couple of months, our customers have been asking for an efficient way to acknowledge candidates that don’t make the cut. At first blush, this seemed easy enough. But, as our product team began researching and designing the feature, all sorts of complexities became evident.
Some interesting questions were raised. Questions like:
What if a candidate has applied to or is assigned to more than one job? And. What if she is active on multiple other jobs?
Who should send thank you letters? Should hiring managers be able to? Only HR?
Thank you letters should be stage specific. How can we make them more intelligent?
Should thank you letters come from HR or an individual’s email account?
What if you’ve already sent a thank you letter to someone in the past? Should you send another?
If hiring managers are not permitted to send thank you letters but your company still wants to send them, how should you store them to be sent later?
What if you source passive candidates? Will Newton help you determine whether you’ve spoken with someone before sending a thank you letter?
Yeah, some stuff to think about huh? So, what we thought would take a couple of weeks to design, has taken nearly three solid months and a lot of brain cells. But, the good news is Newton’s Thank You Letter feature is super thoughtful and ultimately will improve life for both employers and applicants. That’s the goal!
Right now, we’re just making sure everything works great. Look for Newton Thank You Letters in two weeks.
