Better email permissions and more candidate filters

Setting email visibility

A few months back, we launched our own emailing system inside of PontaHR that is in perfect sync with your own Gmail inbox. Now we're back with some improvements to the way permissions and email visibility work.

Starting from today, members with the permission to send emails to candidates will also be able to specify who exactly can see that specific email thread. There are two options.

  • HR Team – This email and the corresponding thread will be visible only to the HR team and administators.
  • Everyone – This email thread will be visible to everyone who is assigned to this listing. So technical recruiters, hiring managers, the HR team and all administrators.

Now you can discuss sensitive topics without worrying who will have access to that information.

More candidate database filters

We're constantly adding improvements to our candidate database. With this release, you can now filter your candidates by:

  • Rejection Reasons – Easily resurface candidates that might have been dismissed as overqualified a few years back.
  • Date Applied – "Give me just the people that applied more than 3 years back" works great!

We'll be adding more filters over the summer!

Improvements and Fixes

  • 🐞 Previously, you could assign or mention members that were no longer inactive. We fixed this and will no longer constantly remind you about people that no longer work at your company. Sorry about that!
  • 🐞 Fixed an issue where viewing the application page as a non-HR person could sometimes break the page if an interview kit was assigned to that application.
  • 🐞 Our file previewer would sometimes break when trying to load certain types of PDFs. This is now fixed!
  • 🐞 You were able to create a listing with no name. That's bad because how would people know what position they are applying for?!
  • 🐞 If you left a reaction to a comment, it would glow a very bright white in dark mode. We no longer punish you for reacting to a comment by burning your retinas.
