The ability to track candidate communications is finally here!

We have added a "Communications" tab to the candidate profile that will house any ATS communications with a candidate—both from within the Flo system in addition to those sent outside of Flo and logged by an admin.

It can be accessed by clicking on a candidate's name to open their full profile.

Logging non-system generated communications

To log a communication that took place outside of Flo, click on the "+New Communication" button.

A modal will appear allowing you to enter the following information:

  • Communication Type

  • Date

  • Sent By (multiple members can be selected)

  • Sent To (multiple candidates and/or members can be included in this list)

  • Subject

  • Description

Once the logged communication is saved, it will appear under the Communications tab within the candidate's profile.

A preview of the message will be visible, and the full message can be expanded using the "details" drop down:

To easily keep track of who logged the communication, a record will automatically be saved by the system.

Once saved by an admin, the following message will be visible:

This communication was logged by ______.

Editing a logged communication

The user that logged a communication will have the ability to make edits or delete the entry using the 3 dot menu.

Those who did not originally log the communication will be able to view the message, but will not be able to edit it.

For example, this email was logged by Cynthia, so the logged-in user, Isabel, does not see the three dot menu:

System generated Job emails

Now, all emails that were sent to the candidate from a job will also be logged! This includes:

  • Job status emails

  • Update application requests

Each system generated email that is logged will have the following information:

  1. Name of the job

  2. Subject

  3. Sent by: the name of the person that triggered the action that sent the email (i.e. status change)

  4. To: the person that received the email

  5. CC: if applicable, the person that was CC’d on the email

  6. BCC: if applicable, the person that was BCC’d on the email

  7. The body of the message

  8. The date and time the message was sent

  9. A notation identifying that the message was system generated

Agency submitted candidates

If an agency submitted a candidate, and an email is sent to the recruiter, a record of the email will be saved within the candidate’s profile.

In the example below, Diana Allen has "Agency" as her source and was submitted by Bill Walter from Momentum Search Partners.

When the status of Diana’s application is changed to Interview Scheduled, Bill Walter will be sent the email since he represents the contact. A communication on Diana’s profile will also be logged:
