Do you agree that products always have room for improvement?
"Every day there are little things in software that we find annoying. Some write books about it, like Annoyances.org, but I thought this site would be more constructive.
BetterSoftwareSuggestions.com is proudly maintained by myself and the developers at SSW."
At SSW we moved over to LinkedIn for our recruitment system (aka ATS being Applicant Tracking System) and it has been a good move, although it is much more $ expensive.
I find it annoying that there is no field to keep track of someone’s salary expectations. Currently I write it in a note:
How do you keep track of candidate’s salary expectations? What is the logic of not having this important field?
Figure: Weird – There is no field to track Salary $
What we want to see is the number of phone calls per recruiter – to track activity on candidates.
We can add tags to candidates within a project, but then we cannot report on it.
Figure: It is easy to add a tag for a candidate on a specific “project” (i.e. position). It should be possible to report on it
But in the custom reports, you can’t do anything with those tags:
Figure: No capabilities around tags except for “Tag Added” which doesn’t help much
Suggestion
What would be awesome is a custom report that shows, for each recruiter:
Username
InMail Sent
Phone Calls done (could be a tag)
Moved to xxx stage
Unfortunately no way to do that report ☹.
Another approach would be to have a custom stage in the pipeline like “Contacted on the phone” that we could move candidates to. Then report on that pipeline stage.
Unfortunately no way to report on this either (you can only report on the top level stage).
