When we started designing the mobile recruiting app for Android, it gave us an opportunity to take a fresh look at some common recruiting problems.
‘Remember that guy – the one that worked for that company in London? He’d be great for this job!’
It’s a familiar conversation. You can often remember one small detail about a candidate, but you can’t remember everything. How do you find them in your candidate database? We designed Workable’s Global Search to take the things you do remember, and match them up faster with the information you really need.
How does it work?
Let’s say you are looking for that guy in London, but you can’t remember any other details right now. Tap ‘London’ into Workable’s Global Search on your phone and you’ll see the results organized into three tabs – much more effective for your pocket-sized screen:
The Candidates tab will show results listing candidates that are either based in London, have experience working in London or went to school there.
The Jobs tab will show every job located in London. Did the person you’re looking for apply to a job in your London office?
The Agenda tab will show the events in London that you’ve scheduled through Workable. Perhaps you met a candidate in London? A quick look through your events will find them again. Double check you have the right candidate by jumping straight to their candidate profile from the Agenda.
We’ve tried to organize the search results in a way that more closely matches your mental model:
- things you remember about the candidate
- things you remember about the job the candidate was associated with
- things you remember about the candidates you’ve met
If you’d like to try it out for yourself, you can download the Android Recruiting App from the Google Play store. (If you haven’t signed up for Workable yet, you’ll need to do that first – there’s a free 15 day trial, and you can use the mobile app together with the desktop version.)
If there’s something that you think is missing, or you’d like to see in the app, please do get in touch and let us know. We’re really interested in hearing your stories about what’s working well for you, and how you think we could improve the mobile recruiting experience.
