Incoming updates to HireVibes

New refined onboarding flow to enable Referrers and Hirers to sign up easily and intuitively:

2. Referrers will have their own profile, that will be similar to a Jobseekers profile but shorter.

Plus — on a Referrer’s profile page, it will be visible how many referrals they’ve made and how many of those referrals converted into hires.

3. Hirers will also soon have their own profile to showcase their Employer Brand. We’ve created this space for Hirer’s to add their logo, some details about what they do, what it’s like to be a part of their team, all the open jobs they have advertised, and any other info they would like to create a rich profile.

4. Mobile Responsiveness

Some pages currently work on mobile but need to be tweaked and improved.

5. Job categorization

6. The ability for hirers to add multiple email addresses to their account — actioning applicants and setting up interviews is usually a team affair!

7. Last but not least: The HireVibes wallet is having the final touches added to it. As interviews are happening which means hires are on the horizon, HireVibes users, partner charity and community will soon be receiving HVT rewards.

With all these happenings, one announcement we are super happy to make is:

Rami James from Scatter joins HireVibes as Advisor

Rami James of the Scatter team joins HireVibes as an advisor and will help us to refine our UX design, and help us make it easier to onboard users to the HireVibes platform. Rami comes to us from the Scatter team which has been enormously successful in the EOS.IO ecosystem, by producing Scatter Meteoric, a widely used piece of software that is “A wallet for your digital currencies and assets”.

Conclusion

What’s been an incredibly busy two weeks for us here at HireVibes HQ, we’re very happy with the overall progress and validations being made. Seeing employers interviewing candidates that have been generated from HireVibes proves the model works, while the feedback being received gives an extra insight that a positive experience is being had by all users involved.

With presentations being made to international tech companies this week and with talks on-going with other companies and startups, we are excited to welcome more great employers to the HireVibes platform over the coming weeks.

To all our supporters who are promoting, using and referring HireVibes to their friends and family: Thank you so much, and keep up the good work!
