With more enhancements and features, we have made the platform more user-friendly! Look out for these features in Skillate.


Spotlight

Forms
We have revamped our candidate forms creation process and have introduced a new tab within Settings > Job Setup > Forms. 
The Forms tab now contains all the forms currently available on the platform: Job Forms, Internal Forms, and Candidate Forms.  
All the form creation part happens from the Forms tab. Further, you can map these forms to a Round in Job Hiring Plan. Read more.

Exceptional Salary Approval

We have added an option to set a step on the offer approval chain as Exceptional Salary Approval.


The Offer Approval Chain Configuration in the Settings and within a Job has a toggle button to enable or disable the 'Exceptional Salary Approval'.



If it is toggled ON, and the offered salary for the candidate is greater than the job's salary range (Job > About > Salary Range) → Skillate will notify the users in the 'Exceptional Salary Approval' step along with the other users.

The criteria "All needs to Approve/Reject" or "Only one needs to Approve/Reject" will be applied as per the existing format irrespective of enabling 'Exceptional Salary Approval' or not.

Source Analytics
We've brought in a bunch of changes. Read more.
