AppliTrack Version Now!   -   10/12/2009 4:12 PM

What in the world is AppliTrack Version Now!?
 
AppliTrack Version Now! is both our philosophy and General ASP’s commitment to providing you with a piece of software that is enhanced and improved with new features and updates on an ongoing basis.

AppliTrack Version Now! means that you are always using the latest and greatest technologies, when you need them. More importantly, each upgrade and feature fits seamlessly with AppliTrack (even when you customize it) so you never need to learn a new “version” with each update.

In the world of web-based software, “versions” don’t exist. Think about Google, for example. Nobody knows what version of Google they use…it just works and gets better each day. AppliTrack is the same way! 

Remember, versions don’t exist in web-based software!

AppliTrack Upgrade Notice: 10/1/2009   -   10/1/2009 4:41 PM
The weekly deploy of AppliTrack’s new functions and enhancements went off without a hitch!
New functions worthy of note are:
 
·         The ability to filter and search for a maximum number of years of experience. While we believe that most users want to know about applicants that have at least a certain number of years of experience, there is still a need to search for applicants with at most a certain number of years. A Min/Max field group has been added to the filter and search form.
·         A new field type has been added to the notepad. A district may now show a drop down such as “user that interviewed” or “job this person interviewed for” .  To utilize this function, simply e-mail your request to support@generalasp.com.
AppliTrack Upgrade Notice: 9/9/2009   -   9/9/2009 5:42 PM

Since our last upgrade notice on 7/7, AppliTrack has seen a couple of large, exciting updates- a completely revamped applicant experience, and the powerful new eForms functionality.  We have also made a number of smaller improvements which we’d like to share with you.

 

On the administrative side, we have made improvements to our recently introduced Download Applicant Data tool.  It will now be possible for districts to set up custom data sets to be downloaded- if there is a set of fields you need to export every time, these fields can now be pre-selected.  Any data on an applicant can be used in these exports, including applicant’s answers on custom pages, and notes left by administrators.

 

The NotePad has seen another significant improvement - it is now possible to print the NotePad for an applicant.  You’ll now see a “Print NotePad” link in the lower, right-hand corner.

 

We’ve also made a few improvements on the Users tab.  We’ve introduced new permissions- CanForwardApplications, which controls users’ ability to forward applications to other users, and CanMarkWithNotes, which determines a user’s ability to leave notes for an applicant.  By default, both of these permission are set to true for standard users- but by removing these permissions, you can prevent your users from accessing this functionality within the system.

 

Additionally, it is now possible to sort your list of users by their login count- and behind the scenes, we’re tracking a lot more information on user logins.  While this change isn’t visible to our users, it will assist with our security and support efforts.

 

For consortium users, there have been a few updates to the Job Posting Only accounts.  These are special accounts within consortia that allow for the posting of jobs, but do not allow for collecting and viewing applications.  These accounts have been quite successful in expanding and promoting the consortia, as well as allowing them to offer a more robust service.  We hope that this most recent round of updates will make the Job Posting Only accounts easier to use and more functional still.

 

The first two changes will be noticed by the Job Posting Only account users themselves.  If a consortium chooses to allow it, Job Posting Only users will now be able to create accounts and begin posting vacancies entirely on their own.  When Job Posting Only users log in, they will now see a Status Bar along the bottom of the screen.  This status bar will communicate consortium information to the user, and provide the user with a link to explore becoming a full consortium member.  On the back end, these Job Posting Only events are being logged and retained in our databases.  This will provide a valuable resource for the growth and support of the different consortia.

 

On the applicant side, there is an update that deserves mention.  After receiving feedback on the applicant side revamp, we have made a few adjustments to the confirmation page.  Now applicants will see a large submission status notification at the top of the page, and the Finish and Submit button at the bottom has been grayed out.

 

Lastly, on the subject of partner integrations- you’ve probably seen updates on this subject in the last couple of months, but AppliTrack now offers integrations with the AESOP sub placement system, the Haberman assessment tool, and Education Week’s TopSchoolJobs recruitment site.  We here at General ASP continue to develop new partnerships to make using AppliTrack as easy- and even enjoyable- as possible!

AppliTrack and TopSchoolJobs Integration   -   9/1/2009 9:15 AM
 
Skokie, IL (PRWEB) August 31, 2009 -- General ASP, the company behind AppliTrack, the leading web-based applicant tracking and recruiting solution in the education market, today announced a new partnership with TopSchoolJobs.org, the premier recruitment solution from the publisher of Education Week and edweek.org.  TopSchoolJobs.org provides K-12 recruiters access to Education Week's premier audience of talented education professionals.

The partnership will simplify recruitment processes for more than one thousand school districts across the country that use AppliTrack by providing job posting delivery between AppliTrack and TopSchoolJobs.org.

Recruiters will easily post jobs via the AppliTrack interface directly to TopSchoolJobs.org and to Education Week's Recruitment Marketplace, gaining access to the gold standard audience for K-12 recruitment. Ultimately, K-12 talent acquisition will become easier and more cost-effective for AppliTrack clients. AppliTrack is the first web-based applicant tracking system to offer a seamless integration with TopSchoolJobs.org.

"It makes perfect sense for General ASP to partner with TopSchoolJobs.org as the recruitment goals of our respective and mutual customers are the same. This seamless integration will save our users time and money while providing incomparable exposure for their vacancies on a national level," said Abe Reese, President and Founder of General ASP.

"Our partnership with General ASP will advance our ongoing commitment to improving the quality and efficiency of education recruitment. This functionality will help school districts recruit top candidates--including superintendents, administrators, and teachers--from our readership of more than one million education professionals," said Virginia B. Edwards, Editor of Education Week and President of Editorial Projects in Education, the non-profit company that publishes TopSchoolJobs.org.
