Indeed Apply Screening Questions with Tabular Questions
Customers have had to choose between using tabular structured screening questions or Indeed's simplified application process, which limits their ability to both gather necessary candidate information and provide an easy application experience.
What Changed
Indeed Easy Apply with Screening Questions now supports tabular questions, allowing Jobvite customers to include structured screening questions alongside Indeed's one-click apply process for job seekers.
This removes the barrier preventing customers with tabular screening questions from using Indeed's Easy Apply.
Roles
Administrator

Introducing Onboarding
Customers struggled to build even basic forms due to a complex, multi-step process that required manual field creation and the additional task of configuring Form Tasks.

Future Emails Tab
CRM users can schedule emails to be sent to candidates in the future. However, there was no visibility of scheduled emails on profiles, nor was there a way to find candidates who are scheduled to receive emails in the future.
What Changed

Recruiters can search for candidates using the future emails filter to see who is receiving what messages and when, helping teams stay organized and avoid sending duplicate emails.

Candidate Duplicates by Phone Number Report
Since CRM collects candidates from multiple sources, duplicates are inevitably introduced into the system over time. Today, automated deduplication is based on the email address; however, the second most common duplication factor, phone number, is not covered. Common examples include:
- The candidate changes their email. The mobile phone stays the same.
- The candidate changes their last name. Their email may change and their mobile phone remains the same.
It is time-consuming and manual to find duplicates in CRM.
What Changed
A report that enables customers to identify duplicates based on phone number will allow users to review the suggestions and merge those that need to be merged.
Roles
Any active or inactive Jobvite user with custom analytics content not used in the past 12 months.
Benefits
- High-volume recruiting teams that manage thousands of candidates and struggle with database cleanliness
- Companies with long hiring cycles, where candidates may update their information between applications
- Organizations that source from multiple channels (job boards, social media, referrals) where the same candidate might enter the system multiple ways
- Recruiting operations teams responsible for maintaining CRM data quality and reporting accuracy
- Talent acquisition teams at growing companies that need clean data for effective candidate relationship management and pipeline reporting
