For most, the job approval is vital for quick approvals by internal stakeholders. Sometimes though there’s often stakeholders that simply need to be kept in the loop but do not need to authorise. That’s why we’ve added a new feature that simply copies those stakeholders in.
To read more about how this new functionality works, please take a look at the Authorisation Users guide.
Preview the job advert
When you’re busy shortlisting candidates, we know it can be useful to reference back to the job advert too. That’s why we’ve added a Preview Advert button on the list of candidates. Read more about it here in our Managing Candidates guide.
Totaljobs Direct Apply is now live
Designed to reduce candidate drop out, our integration with Totaljobs has many elements to it and the latest of them is Direct Apply.
Direct Apply, often referred to as one click apply, pushes data from a candidate’s Totaljobs profile into Jobtrain - a fast and simple way for candidates to apply from Totaljobs.
We understand some of you will have lots of system users, so being able to find them swiftly in System Users is important. We’ve added the ability to search for users by their first name or last name using the search facility at the top of the page.
When you’re reviewing candidates, we’ve now added more search functionality to the quick search box when you’re on a candidate’s record. Searching by candidate name will now also include first name and last name in the results.
Last quarter we told you about a small but significant change we made to Green Room Onboarding.
If you’ve yet to discover the benefits of Green Room Onboarding (organisations with a strong onboarding process improve new hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70% - Glassdoor), then watch the video below, read more about it here or contact your Client Success Consultant to arrange a demo and see what you’ve been missing.
AUGUST 2021 UPDATE

More details are in the emails section of our Calendar Event user guide - READ IT HERE.
Search box in media libraries
Over time it’s likely you’ll accumulate lots of images, videos and text blocks in your Media Rich Adverts and Green Room Onboarding libraries. That’s why we’ve now included a search facility in both of these areas – with the search facility finding the files based on the description name.
Uploading media in Green Room Onboarding and Media Rich Adverts made simpler
We’ve removed a step when you upload new media for your job adverts and in Green Room Onboarding. The requirement to press an Upload button has now been removed. All that’s required is to ‘browse’ your image, then press Save when you can see a preview of the image. We’ve updated our user guides for media rich adverts and the Green Room Onboarding guide – follow the links below for more detail.
New optional email notifications added in Onboarding
We’ve added an optional feature that allows you to automatically send an email notification to your IT and/or HR teams (or any other two email addresses) when Onboarding is marked as complete for a candidate.
Visit our Onboarding user guide page for more information - READ IT HERE.
Reinstate deleted applications
If a candidate has deleted their application, then subsequently changes their mind, client users of Jobtrain, with the appropriate security permissions, can reinstate their application. The candidate will then be able to review their application, complete any further information that may be required and submit the application.
Client users can also assign a candidate to a job where they have previously deleted their application.
More information can be found on this in our user guide - READ IT HERE.
