Take a look behind the scenes and see what community ideas and other improvements we are working on, as they are being developed.
Button to share on social media
Creating a button to share your vacancies with social media was already available but has now been made very easy to setup. Based on the idea of @viran on the Dutch community: Forward vacancies through portal.
You probably have seen this button before on blogs and popular websites:
The button allows visitors to share the page with other people within their social networks. The above example shows a link to some of the most popular networks, Facebook, Hyves, LinkedIn and Twitter. There are more networks available in setup from which you can choose the networks you would like to offer.
In the setup of the portal you will find a new "Social media" option:
Here you find a long list with available social networks. Next to the most popular, there are also networks listed with a more local presence. Like Hyves in the Netherlands:
Just check/uncheck the social media you would like to use and press "save". A share button is now created like in the above example with options for all the networks you have selected. The button is made visible on the top of each vacancy on your vacancy portal and your website visitors can start sharing right away.
Limit file size
Based on an idea of @chusersg a new option is introduced to limit the file size of attachments when applying.
This could be helpfull if you have recruiters working with slow connections and to make their life easier you could limit the file size of CVs that candidates can attach to their applications.
You will see a new option when you add a file field (like a CV) to the application form where you can enter a limit for the file size in MB's:
Leaving it empty will mean the overall limit of 20Mb will apply.
Next, you want to decide on an error message you want to present the applicant when he/she would attach a file that is larger then the limit. You can edit this message in the setup of the form:
That's all, would the candidate apply with a too large file, he/she will receive the error message and an additional "back" option, guiding the candidate back to the original form as he/she left it with all data intact.
Note there are some usability issues with this change. The file-size is first know when the file has been completely uploaded to the server. So if a candidate has a large CV and maybe has to wait a while for his file to upload, he will then get the error message that his file is too large. That will give also give some frustration, so the frustration is not gone but we have moved it from the recruiter to the applicant. If you would decide to use this limitation there should be a least a clear message on the application form about the size limit and that the application will be refused if the file is too large.
This change is only in effect when you would use it in setup, your current application forms are not affected by this change.

Delay publishing of job on website until start date
Two ideas were posted simultaneously on the community, Publish job vacancies ahead, by @rm, and Postpone start date when publishing a vacancy, by @tas.balk.dk. Both basically describe the same thing. First publish the vacancy on the website when the start date is reached.
This has now been implemented. Note that when you publish the vacancy it is still marked as "unpublished". When the start date is reached, this will automatically change to "published".
