    Happy August! 🎉 We've been working on updates to help your teams hire faster and smarter so you can connect with the best talent out there. 

    Here's the latest feature releases and improvements.

     

    Candidate Inbox

    New Overview tab in the advanced candidate profile

    Last month, we introduced new tabs in the candidate profile that show your candidate's interactions with campaigns, events, and the talent community. This version, we're happy to announce the new Overview tab, which brings the entire candidate story into one view. Instead of viewing details application by application, you’ll see a consolidated timeline of the candidate's history, providing a clear history of all interactions. This streamlined view simplifies candidate review and helps you easily follow a candidate’s journey and access key information at a glance. 

    Learn more about the candidate profile, the candidate inbox, and the recruiting dashboard.

    Role impact and feature activation

    All users but Basic/Limited Users are affected by this enhancement by default.

    This new tab is automatically available in the candidate profile within the Candidate Inbox, Recruiting Dashboard, and other areas of Paradox where you can view the candidate profile.

     
     

     

    New permissions to restrict user access to applications

    We've added a new Unassigned Lead Visibility permission setting. This feature allows your organization to control user access to applications, ensuring that sensitive candidate data interactions align with your internal policies and regulatory requirements. It's about giving you more precise control over data visibility. For more details on setting this up, please reach out to your CS Representative.

    Learn more about this new permission in roles and permissions.

    Role impact and feature activation

    Paradox Admins are affected by this enhancement by default. 

    This feature is automatically available but not auto-enabled. You can grant different user roles access to this new permission with the help of your CS Representative.

     
     

     

    Conversational Scheduling

    Interviews page overhaul

    We know how frustrating it is to juggle fragmented tabs and constantly reset filters. Because of this, we've completely redesigned the Interviews page to transform how you manage your interview workload. This new interface provides more powerful tools, including enhanced customization and advanced filtering, helping you manage everything efficiently and save significant time previously spent on fragmented tabs and filter resets.

    Learn more about the Interviews page.

    Microsoft Teams integration

    We're excited to announce a new integration designed to streamline your internal communications for scheduling candidates! Paradox is now integrated with Microsoft Teams, allowing your AI assistant to send important interview alerts, reminders, and follow-up actions directly to recruiters and hiring managers within their Microsoft Teams environment.

    This integration helps you:

    • Meet your team where they work: Deliver notifications seamlessly to an internal communication platform many of your teams already use.
    • Speed up communications: Get quick actions and responses from internal users faster than traditional email.

    Please reach out to your CS Representative for more information on this integration.

    Security

    Candidate two factor authentication (2FA)

    To ensure candidate data remains private and secure, candidates are now required to enter a one-time verification code to access specific links within their conversation. This enhancement bolsters data security by requiring candidates to verify their identity via a one-time code sent to their preferred communication method before they can access their information. Additionally, candidates will see a new and improved verification page.

    Learn more about candidate 2FA.

    Role impact and feature activation

    All candidates are affected by this enhancement.

    This feature is auto-enabled.

     
     

     

    User two factor authentication (2FA)

    To strengthen the security of your internal accounts, we have automatically enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all Paradox users who are not currently using Single Sign-On (SSO). This adds a required second step to the login process, where users will enter a one-time passcode sent to their email address. This enhancement significantly strengthens the security posture of your accounts, adding that extra layer of protection and trust. 

    Learn more about user 2FA.

    Role impact and feature activation

    All clients and users within the account are affected by this enhancement by default.

    This feature is auto-enabled for all client accounts except the following:
