It’s been a challenging year for talent teams. But, where some have struggled, others have thrived. Successful teams have been nimble: they’ve adapted their strategies and leaned on support from innovative hiring tools. The key? Working with vendors who can pivot to meet today’s challenges head-on.
At PageUp, we work hand in hand with our customers to solve today’s complex hiring challenges. Together, this helps us build a platform that brings the entire hiring journey to life.
“The global talent environment has changed in many ways over 2022, but something that has remained constant is the need to enhance and simplify the hiring process to attract, nurture and engage the best candidates, and to make the hiring process as friction-free as possible. Our teams have listened to our customers, the market and to candidates to ensure we continue to innovate and provide the best solutions. We see great talent technology as a competitive advantage for our customers to ensure they hire the best people in a competitive market.”
Mark Rice, CEO of PageUp
Here are just a few of our latest releases designed to help talent teams hire faster and smarter in 2023.
Employee Connections: Highlight your authentic employer brand
Jobseekers don’t trust corporate “spin”. In a competitive talent market, how can your team showcase your unique EVP in a real and genuine way? We’ve got the answer: Employee Connections.
Employee Connections is PageUp’s employee generated content tool. It allows you to create, curate and share authentic content from your employees, at scale. This could look like:
- Live Q&A’s that connect jobseekers directly with your employees
- Stories and blog content
- Video testimonials
Not only is employee generated content great for employer branding, it’s also great for engaging quality talent. Candidates who interact with this content are 3X more likely to be hired. Using Employee Connections to engage jobseekers enables hiring teams to attract and hire the right people, with less effort.
Text Engage: Target applicants wherever, whenever
Texts have a 99% open rate. Compare that to email open rates, which sit around 20%. To secure new hires, teams need to meet jobseekers where they are. And where is that? Probably within arms-reach of their phones.
Text Engage allows hiring teams to connect with hard-to-reach talent groups at scale. With just one text, jobseekers can enter a streamlined application process —no matter where they are. Whether a jobseeker sees an ad for your company on a bus, in a shopping centre, or at the cafe, they can easily scan and apply with a few taps. What’s more, Text Engage enables teams to ask preliminary screening questions, while providing a seamless candidate experience all the way through.

PersonalisedPersonalized hiring workflows: because no two journeys are the same
Just like no two people are the same, no two candidate journeys are the same. So, we’ve released Non-linear Workflows to allow hiring teams to build custom-made recruitment journeys as required. That way, your team can deliver great candidate experiences while creating workflows and processes that work for them.
Need to run concurrent background checks? No problem. Need to expedite an offer and run background assessments after securing a star candidate? In this market, we hear you.
Now, with non-linear workflows, it’s easier than ever to create a streamlined candidate experience that suits your company, your candidate and your team.
CRM enhancements: Surface the best candidates, faster
With more jobs ads and fewer jobseekers, a solid pipeline of talent is crucial for a recruiting team to be successful. PageUp’s recruitment CRM has always been a powerful tool that allows you to track and nurture your talent pool —but now, it’s easier than ever to find the perfect person to fill your open roles. With our new feature releases, you can:
- Add candidates to a “project” so you can view and manage your pipeline for open positions in one central location
- Easily search for qualified candidates from your existing pool
- Quickly add candidates directly to your CRM via a handy PageUp browser extension
Visual Email Builder: No code needed
Creating on-brand and professional candidate communications is an important part of employer branding. Whether you’re nurturing your talent pipeline, or taking a candidate through the hiring journey, your email communications need to look sharp.
But, email builders are notorious for requiring HTML experience in order to produce a clean, professional template. We’ve taken the complexity out of creating on-brand email templates with our new Visual Email Builder. Now, PageUp customers can “drag and drop” to create templates to suit their needs.
Flexible Forms: giving the power back to hiring teams
Flexible Forms provide a simple way to customisecustomize form templates. With a centralisedcentralized view for cross-functional collaboration and the ability to track status and history, Flexible Forms empower hiring teams with transparency and access to real-time data.
This gives power back to the recruiting team, allowing them to scale their processes and adopt an agile approach. Flexible Forms currently supports Position Descriptions and Interview Guides, streamlining these processes for a better user and candidate experience.
Recruitment Marketing: drive applications, efficiencies, and ROI
Attract, nurture and convert more applicants with a suite of innovative tools designed to empower talent teams to do more, with less. Using marketing principles, these tools help recruiters engage jobseekers from interest through to application. The low-touch, no-code Recruitment Marketing suite gives the power back to talent teams — no more time spent waiting on developers. This means hiring teams can be agile and responsive to the needs of tomorrow’s talent market.
