👥 Introducing Headcount

We've launched the first phase of Headcount, a powerful new feature designed to help organisations manage approved hiring volumes and prevent over-recruitment.

Available on the new Applicant Screen, Headcount allows organisations to define the number of approved hires for a vacancy raised through ATR and tracks recruitment against that allocation throughout the hiring process.

Customer Benefits

  • Prevent hiring beyond approved headcount.

  • Improve visibility of available recruitment capacity.

  • Strengthen governance and budget control.

  • Give recruiters and hiring managers a clear view of vacancy status throughout the recruitment lifecycle.

📊 New Forms Reporting Model

Reporting+ customers can now build reports using data captured through Application Forms, Data Capture Forms and Candidate Custom Fields.

A new Reporting Settings page also makes it easier to manage reporting models and synchronise form data.
