Datapeople Product Updates in 2024

Access your full job repository in Datapeople Anywhere

October 2, 2024

For our teams who access Datapeople directly within their ATS via the Datapeople Anywhere web browser overlay, we have some exciting news. Now, you have direct access to your entire job repository. Previously, when you would search in Datapeople Anywhere, you would only see draft job posts.

As of today, when you conduct a Datapeople Anywhere search, you will see job posts in your draft, published, and unpublished libraries. Please note: To streamline the experience, a full scrolling list of all jobs will not be available.

Once you find your desired job post, you can create a duplicate of the selected job post to update.


Pay Transparency Readiness for Illinois and Minnesota

September 27, 2024

As of January 1, 2025, Pay Transparency regulations will be in effect in Illinois and Minnesota. And with Datapeople you will be ready! 😃

If you're been using Datapeople you may be familiar with how proactive guidance will show up in our sidebar and relevant alerts will be featured in the Compliance Report.

If you're new to Datapeople, let's catch you up! To help your team comply with Pay Transparency regulations, our Smart Editor has proactive sidebar notifications. If we don't detect compensation, you'll see sidebar guidance (examples shown below). And if we do detect you have included it, we'll highlight it in green 👏

Even though the regulation is not yet in effect, providing transparency into your pay has other benefits, including improved attraction from qualified candidates and bias reduction in your hiring process.

As more laws go into effect, we will, of course, continue to update our platform. For more information on what to disclose when, where, and why, read more here


Identify Requisitions-in-Need More Quickly 👀

July 18, 2024

For our Greenhouse and SmartRecruiters integrated customers (and more ATSs soon!), Requisition Libraries and Progress Reports now give you more context to decide where to take action!

Your Requisition Libraries will now include columns that will help you see how many active posts and applications are associated with a requisition and how long the requisition has been open, without having to click into each individual Requisition Report.

With these additional columns, we’ve made sorting easier. Just click each column header to sort by the column!

When you do click into a Requisition Progress Report, you’ll notice that the Job Post table now shows you each post’s current score and status.

Further down in the Requisition Progress Report, we are introducing a new sub-table that shows a list of the active candidates in each stage of your process alongside important details, such as what stage they are in in your ATS and how recent their last activity was, so you can quickly see who you may need to touch base with next. From this table, a simple click will take you into their profile in your ATS.

If you're been using Datapoeple for a while you may have already seen our proactive sidebar guidance and noticed that we added Washington DC-based jobs to our Compliance Report.

If you're new, let's catch you up! To help your team comply with Pay Transparency regulations our Smart Editor has proactive sidebar notifications. If we don't detect compensation, you'll see sidebar guidance (shown below). And if we do detect it, we'll highlight it in green 👏

We know that including salary information in your job ad can reduce bias and unequal treatment in the hiring process while helping to attract qualified candidates.

As more laws go into effect, we will, of course, continue to update our platform. For more information on what to disclose when, where, and why, read more here

Confidently post to Job Boards with salary formatting alert

May 07, 2024

Did you know that job boards, such as Indeed, have specific formats they require for salary requirements?

Your Templates, Your Way ✍

May 02, 2024

We have streamlined the creation, management, and usage of your templates. If you are an Adminstrator, your 'Manage Templates' experience has a whole new look displaying important information such as who created each template, when it was created, and when it was last edited.

Image #1

With this release, we are introducing template statuses. The status of a template will control its potential usage. Draft templates can only be accessed by Administrators on the ‘Manage Templates’ page. Published templates will be accessible by all users, and Administrators can remove them from public use by unpublishing them, which will revert them to draft status.

We have also made finding your desired templates easier by listing them alphabetically and introducing the ability to search on the ‘Write a Post’ modal. Read more here
