26 July, 2023

We're pleased to announce the latest update to IRIS Networx.

These release notes contain a detailed breakdown of any new features or enhancements that have been developed, as well as any bug fixes that we have implemented. Our Development Teams release to Production on average every 2 weeks, so our monthly updates contain multiple development releases.

Bugs may have been reported via the Support Desk, fed back to us internally, or found during our own rigorous testing processes. Due to the bespoke nature of our software, there may be certain bugs reported that you haven't experienced in your system.

New Features

No Registration Apply

We're excited to announce the launch of our new No Reg Apply module, which will streamline the way candidates apply for roles. We understand that applying for jobs can be a time-consuming process, and we want to make it as easy and hassle-free as possible for all future potential candidates. The No Reg Apply module allows candidates to submit their applications in just a few clicks, and then create an account by simply clicking on a verification link sent to them.

The No Reg Apply module will be a game-changer for our candidates, making it easier and faster for them to apply for roles and showcase their talents. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this new feature will have on our platform and the recruitment process.

As this is a completely different way of handling incoming applications, we are launching this module to a closed group as part of a Beta testing programme. If you would like to take part, contact your Account Manager.

Benefits

  • No Reg Apply is an essential feature if you're used to handling a large volume of applications.

  • Candidates have a faster initial application process, as they complete candidate registration at a later stage.

  • Candidates will still receive an email upon application asking them to verify their email address, as we are still required through GDPR to verify the user’s information that we are holding. This will not impede their application.

  • Recruitment Managers and Vacancy Admins can select, per Vacancy, whether it should go through the Quick Application, Full Application, or the No Registration Application process:
