With so many different HR software options on the market, providers have to constantly update their features so that they can stay competitive. In the process of doing this they often add new features so that can better address the needs of their clients. According to a recent press release, one leading applicant tracking system provider has done just that.

myStaffingPro recently announced that they have updated their Hiring Manger Quick Response (HMQR) by adding new scheduling capabilities. On top of giving HR professionals the ability to request and receive information and feedback on applicants, hiring managers will now be able to seamlessly mange the scheduling of interviews.

“Before we had HMQR we had difficulty getting feedback on candidates from our managers and the rest of the interview team,” one myStaffingPro client, Sarah Conroy of Penobscot Bay Media, was quoted as saying in the recent press release.

Instead of setting HMQR to require training as many staffing software options do, myStaffingPro has given this software option an innovative, easy-to-use interface. This also enables users to review applicants’ information and submit feedback without having to log into myStaffingPro. This will save HR professionals time and give them the ability to quickly handle information when they the available time without having to check to make sure they are logged in to the program.

The updated HMQR module now features a request form, feedback request, a web-based hiring manager portal, and a scheduling tool designed to create interview appointments. The feedback request will be specifically useful to recruiters because they can alter the form to include only desired hiring mangers, add response due dates and applicant attachments. After the form has been fixed to contain the desired information, these requests can then be sent by e-mail or text messages to hiring mangers with a link to the portal.

After the hiring manger has the link to the portal, they will have to ability to access and review the applicant’s information, requisition for more information, or submit their feedback immediately. If the hiring manager desires, they can then create appointment times and request that the applicant schedule an interview during one of the already allotted time slots.

Once the hiring manager finishes offering their feedback, the information is immediately tied to the applicant’s file. This makes it accessible through myStaffingPro so that it can be accessed at another time. During this whole time the individual who requested more information is constantly sent updates so that they can know the status and progress of their request. myStaffingPro believes the result of this is a streamlined process that will improve response rates without requiring training.

“Our pre-release testing partners have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic about this cutting-edge HR technology,” said myStaffingPro’s product development manager Jennifer Brogee in the release.
