Hey there 👋

We’ve just dropped a huge update here at Vincere and we’re dubbing it the ‘Infinity Release’ (because it’ll take you all the way to infinity and beyond, it’s that cool!) 🚀

There are lots to expect this in the new version and we’re super excited to share what’s coming so go on, grab a cuppa and let’s jump right in ☕. 

Dealing with Temp or Contract workers? This shiny new addition is one you’ll love.

Say goodbye to calling up candidates one-by-one to check whether they’re available for bookings - it’s time to get automated. 

Send ‘Request availability’ emails to candidates in bulk (up to 200 at a time) and get your candidates to update their availability online on a fully-branded page. Their availability feeds back - in real time - to Vincere for you to see available workers at a glance instantly from the ATS pages. 

You can then filter candidates by availability (this week, next week) and send workers, with the right skills to the right jobs effortlessly. 

We appreciate that important and sensitive information needs to be collected from candidates and provided to your clients so, here’s what we’ve done to help you streamline the on-boarding process:

Once a placement is made, you can request candidates to upload the required documents e.g. driving licences, or visas - anything you want!

All your Candidates have to do is click on a link in the email and they will be taken to their very own personal Candidate Hub. This is a secure and fully branded portal where they an easily access and upload their documents (p.s. you can specify the documents types required, what you need from candidates is entirely up to you, keep on reading...)

2. Customize and specify document types

From the Job’s profile, you’ll see a new ‘Onboarding documentation’ tab. From here, you’ll be able to specify the types of documents required for on-boarding. This requirement is communicated directly to your Candidates personal portal. Your candidates will know exactly where to go and what to do.

So if you need special compliance documents like audit I-9 and W-4 forms, driver’s licenses or even their dog’s or cat's birth certificate (only if you really, really must), simply add it as an item on the list.

3. Set automated reminders to your Candidates 

Set the intervals you’d like Vincere to send out reminders for you directly to your Candidates. Vincere will send the reminders until your Candidates/Employees have uploaded the required documents. 

You can set this up by going to Settings > Admin Settings > Reminder for Employees/Contractors. 

4. View Onboarding Status 

A new table column: ‘on-boarding Status’ has been added in the ATS. This means you’ll be able to quickly see and filter which Candidates are still required to upload documents and who you need to chase up/who is ready to start work. 

5. All files in one place

All uploaded files will be easily accessible in the File tab of every candidate’s profile.

You’ll also be able to search for files in the File Library in the Onboarding Stage of the ATS.

Little did we know that what started out as a simple jobs page for our customers could lead to the dawn of a new dimension, the Engagement Hub. We’ll share more about this in the coming weeks but for now, let’s unveil what we have in store for your clients - the Client Portal.

The Client Hub breaks barriers and fosters collaboration between you and your clients. Give your clients one seamless hiring experience:

2. Clients can view and download candidate documents

You're in full control here and only you decide what your clients get to see. From the File tab, simply select the checkbox against the documents they need access to. Vincere makes the file available for them to view and download on the Client Hub instantly.

3. Submit Vacancies

A new job gets automatically created inside Vincere whenever your client fills out the ‘Submit a job’ form and you’ll receive an in notification in real-time.

Compliance isn’t just a one-time data fix, it’s an ongoing project. GDPR matters to you as long as you are working with citizens from the EU, and the secret sauce to compliance lies in our upgraded Candidate Portal.

There are several elements to our approach to this new regulation: ranging from how your data is processed through to the management of opt-ins from Candidates. Tracking and reporting on consent is going to be important so we've upgraded our Candidate Portal and are also introducing a new GDPR dashboard as part of your compliance toolkit. 

Here’s a high-level overview of the key functionalities and automation you can expect:

2. New multi-select field to track Consent Status: Unknown | Pending | Consent given | Withdrawn | To be forgotten

3. Audit-ready activity logs: see timestamp of every interaction 

4. Send bulk outreach emails to seek Consent

5. Candidates can request to be forgotten

Candidates can request for their data to be deleted from within their account. Upon request, you will be sent a notification via email to perform the necessary steps inside Vincere.

6. Candidate can Withdraw Consent

Consent needs to be granular meaning it needs to cover the various jobs you will be representing the candidate for and use candidate's data. From the jobs applications page on the Candidate portal, candidates can easily withdraw consent per job.

We’ve introduced a brand new dashboard to help you track compliance over time: 

✔ Get an at-a-glance view of the candidates that have given you consent by month

✔ Track compliance levels over time

✔ Ability to filter by consultants & locations

✔ Drill into data to identify deleted records- what has been deleted who did it and when?

✔ Align to KPIs – give your consultants compliance goals and track performance
