More customization to help make your careers page shine! Say hello to our new drag-and-drop career portal builder.

Build Better Careers Pages

Your careers page is the heart of your recruitment efforts. It’s the first port of call for potential job applicants who are considering your organization. It’s your chance to show off your unique brand and personality. Our new career portal builder gives you more options to create eye-catching careers pages that stand out from the crowd.

The new builder comes with standard components that you can add, edit, hide, rearrange, and remove whenever you need to. You have more customization options than ever before, with the ability to add images, icons, highlights, and office locations to your career portal. It’s drag-and-drop, so you can easily create or edit your page in minutes.

New Features:

• Drag-and-Drop Editor: Choose from a range of components that you can edit and rearrange however you like.
• Design Customization: Add team and office photos, icons, brand imagery, and maps of office locations – it’s up to you.
• Segmentation: You can now create multiple career portals and segment them by location or department. This is useful if you have separate recruitment processes for different offices and teams.
• Mobile Optimization: Pages you create with our career portal builder are optimized for mobile devices – so they look great on any device.

Track Job Applicants

One of the biggest benefits of using our career portals is that they are fully integrated with Salesforce. Once a person applies for a job on your brand-new careers page, they are instantly saved as a candidate in your flair Recruiting app on Salesforce. This not only means that their data is secure, but it also facilitates the hiring process. You can review their application, arrange interviews, and track the candidate through each stage. Having candidates stored in Salesforce helps you to better structure the process and improve the candidate experience.

Migrating Your Old Career Page

To start creating a new career portal, open the Career Portal Setup tab in your flair Recruiting app.

Please note that this feature replaces our existing career page feature, which will no longer be supported from September 1, 2023. You can continue using the legacy career page until then, but we recommend that you switch over in good time and make use of our new customization options.

You asked, we listened: Our new DATEV integration makes it easier for you to manage your payroll.

Set Up Your Integration in Seconds

With over half a million customers, DATEV is the leading tax and payroll software in Germany. Tax advisors, auditors, and lawyers use the software to handle accounting tasks, and many German companies use DATEV to process payroll and securely communicate with tax advisors.

Now you can directly integrate flair with DATEV in seconds. Simply open the flair HR app, add the integration from the HR Admin page, and connect to DATEV using your login details. Then you’ll be able to securely send accurate employee and payroll data to DATEV at the touch of a button.

Seamless Data Transfer

Integrating flair with DATEV saves you time and effort in your accounting. The integration not only automates payroll processes but also improves the accuracy of your financial reporting. As you eliminate the need to manually enter data, there is less risk of error, which gives you peace of mind when processing payroll.

Currently, our integration automatically imports directly to DATEV LODAS. For DATEV Lohn & Gehalt, our integration can automatically create ASCII files that you can easily import in DATEV in just a few steps.

Loom videos meet flair workflows! We’ve integrated our favorite video tool into another one of our features, making it easier for you to collaborate with your colleagues.

Video Is the Way To Go

Instructional videos are an efficient and entertaining way to learn something new. A TechSmith survey showed that 83% of respondents prefer watching videos to reading or listening to informational content. Especially for more complicated processes, it can help to actually see a demonstration, rather than read a description.

That’s why we’ve made it possible for you to add Loom videos to your workflow items. Loom is a video messaging tool that allows you to record your screen and voice and share the video with others. You may have already seen it in our Cheers feature.

With Loom videos, you can record your screen to demonstrate how to complete the workflow item, meaning there’s no need to write an essay. And, by showing your face and voice in the video, you can add a personal touch – which is especially important for remote teams!

Make your information easier to absorb by adding videos alongside written documents and meetings. Video workflows are also really scalable – simply record your video once and use it again and again as new people join your organization. This can be an efficient way for team leaders to introduce themselves to new starters, saving time for questions in face-to-face meetings.

Which Processes Can Benefit From Video?

• Onboarding Presentations: Help new hires get to know your company’s vision and strategy. Simply record a presentation once and share it with every new starter. No need to host the same presentation every other week.
• Learning New Tools: Sometimes, it’s quicker and easier to show a process rather than explain it in writing. Record your screen to explain relevant software, add videos to onboarding workflows, and share them with other employees.
• Sharing Company Policies: Explaining company policies doesn’t require an all-company meeting. Using video workflows, your employees can view company policies in their own time, so you can save meetings for more engaging topics.

Adding Videos to Workflows

First of all, you’ll need a Loom account (you can get started with a free version). Get ready to record your screen and then start the recording. You can choose to record your face too, or simply show what’s happening on your screen. Once you’re finished with your recording, you will receive a sharing link for your video.

Next, when creating a new workflow item in the flair HR app, simply paste the Loom video link into the Instructions Loom Url field. Now, when an employee views the workflow item in the Employee Hub, they will see your video.

The flair solution simplifies HR management for companies of all sizes by streamlining employee-facing tasks and fostering cross-team collaboration. 🤩

In this edition of What's New in flair, we're bringing you some fresh commenting updates to enhance your company communication. We've also tweaked the design of the Projects section in the Employee Hub. Enjoy!

Announcement Comments

Be part of the company conversation. Our latest commenting feature in the Employee Hub enables flair users to celebrate, discuss and respond to company-wide announcements.

Head over to the Announcements page on the Hub, leave a comment, and join the conversation.

Mandatory Absence Comments

We know how important it is to keep communication flowing. So thanks to your valuable feedback, we've added a new mandatory comment box to the Absences page in the Employee Hub.

It allows employees to provide notes about their absences.

This feature enables a more transparent and collaborative approach to managing employee absences, improving overall communication and team engagement.

Project Grids Redesign

The Projects feature in the Hub has undergone a slight design tweak. Users can now switch from a Weekly to a Monthly Time Tracking view in Projects.

To make navigation even smoother, our designers have even added a convenient scrolling grid for monthly projects.

For more flair updates keep an eye on our What's New page or follow us on LinkedIn.

Build employee surveys, utilize smart check-ins, and gain actionable insights into your workforce. 🤩

Employee engagement tools help cultivate a culture of creativity, innovation, productivity, and feedback.

That's why we've launched three survey features. They offer an invaluable opportunity for employers to collect meaningful opinions and perspectives of their workforce.

Custom Engagement Surveys

Not every organization has the same structure or processes. So it's important to be able to tailor feedback surveys to your product, service, or workforce.

Through our HR app, flair users can customize their own engagement survey questions. Draft engaging questions, collect important feedback, and visualize the data using flair.

Smart Smiley Check-Ins

Gauge the mood of staff through this smart emoticon check-in feature. Ask employees to respond to a question or phrase using simple smiley faces accessible to staff through the Employee Hub and email.

It's a fast, fun, and effective way to display indicators on subjects like employee satisfaction, workload, and overall well-being.

Measure eNPS

Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is an important metric used to rate employee satisfaction, loyalty, and likelihood to recommend their employer.

Companies can now gain invaluable insight into the workplace atmosphere, thanks to our eNPS feature. With it, employees are empowered to give a clear picture of how they feel about working for a company.

Create eNPS surveys on the flair HR app on Salesforce, automate survey communication, and with our results page, measure workplace satisfaction over time.

For more information about our employee engagement tools, check out the Learning Hub guide on eNPS Surveys and Smiley Check-Ins.

Our UX Team is constantly working on revamping the Employee Hub – to make navigating an intuitive and easy process. We proudly present a new look on Salesforce, improvements in the Employee Hub, and a new look for our email reminders.

Improved Menu Bar Usability

Never get lost in the Employee Hub again! We’ve updated our menu bar so that you don’t lose track of your click path. Also, stay on top of any product updates, which you find on the bottom left of the menu bar. 🤠

flair’s New Look on Salesforce

New vision, new branding, new colors. As we are evolving we are also bringing our Salesforce apps in line with our brand. Go ahead and check out our fresh look on Salesforce! 🕺

Email Design That Pops

flair sends out email reminders to your employees about approaching deadlines, documents to be submitted, and newly assigned tasks. While this is nothing new, the emails now reach your inbox with a better look: more colors and beauty to match our new branding. 🎨

In fact, aesthetics is part of flair’s core values. This value includes far more than visual elegance. Aesthetics is the pleasure we derive from perceiving an object or experience through our senses. So we really hope you find our product both user-friendly and sleek. 😊

Have your say: You can now share comments and emojis with your colleagues in the Employee Hub.

Whether you’re asking a question or sharing feedback, communication is essential to workplace collaboration. That’s why we’ve added a commenting feature to the Employee Hub to make it easier for you to interact with your colleagues and managers within the Hub. No need to switch apps.

In-App Commenting

Our new comments feature allows you to collaborate in context. Get straight to the point by adding a comment directly where it is relevant, increasing clarity and reducing the risk of misunderstanding. Now you no longer need to leave the Employee Hub to ask a question or send screenshots to help your colleagues understand what you are referring to.

Commenting is currently available on the following pages of the Employee Hub:

• Workflows
• Absences
• Expenses
• Cheers
• Certificates

Share Emojis, Images, & More

In addition, we’ve also expanded our emoji picker so you can add a bit of fun and emotion to your comments. These new emojis are also available as reactions on the Announcements page.

Besides emojis, you can also include images, files, and links in your comments. This improves the flow of information between managers, team members, and HR.

Why not try it out and share a comment to brighten a colleague’s day?

Take notes and make identifying the right job candidate easier. 📝

We have just introduced Notes into the flair Recruiting app.

Recruiting App Notes

Notes is a feature located within the Candidates section on the flair Recruiting app on Salesforce.

By clicking on a job candidate, you can choose to create a note about their progress during the recruitment process. For example, make a note about the skills that impressed you during the phone screening or interview stage.

Extra Features

This flair Recruiting app feature also allows you to attach important files or documents to any note. You may also create note templates, save comments, and also filter search for keywords or specific comments.

Try out the new feature today and enhance your recruiting workflow. For more information on how flair can help you streamline and improve recruitment, visit our Learning Hub.

flair Recruiting just got more efficient with our new extension for Google Chrome!

Save Time Sourcing Candidates

Adding to your talent pool, making connections, and saving candidate data are all important parts of a recruiter’s daily business. Our latest update makes it even easier. With the flair Recruiting extension for Google Chrome, you can add promising talent and interesting candidates to your flair Recruiting app – directly from your browser.

Automatic Parsing of Candidate Details

Just received an impressive job application? Our Chrome plug-in can automatically parse their details from websites. It’s really simple: Just click on the extension and the plug-in will extract the most important information and contact details. Assign a job to the candidate, choose a funnel stage, and add your notes, then you can instantly add the candidate to the flair Recruiting app.

And you can do the same to add a profile to your talent pool. So now there’s no need to interrupt your workflow when you’re on the hunt for your company’s next top talent!

Add Talent From Anywhere

While automatic parsing is only compatible with some websites, you can still use our Chrome extension on any website.

Simply click on the extension in your Chrome browser and add talent or candidate details manually – they will still be saved directly to your flair Recruiting app, saving you from having to log into Salesforce.

Three new improvements that improve your workflow processes and absence requests are now live.

Handy Deadline Reminders

Now you can automate deadline reminders. Projects come with deadlines and you can set the parameters using flair in Salesforce. When a deadline is approaching, an employee will receive a reminder on a date that works for the project. As an HR manager, this feature allows you to complete workflows in time and with ease.

Receive Absence Requests in Time

It’s important to outline your absence request policy and make it easy for employees to give notice of leave. Your absence request policy can be customized through the Absence Settings on the flair HR app. By adding a minimum time notice for absences you avoid short notice absence requests while making the request process smoother.

Requests for More Days Off

Employees sometimes need to seek special dispensation and request to take off more days than is outlined in your company’s absence policies, like in the event of a family emergency, accident, or special occasion. In these exceptional cases, employers will want to work with the employee to find an appropriate solution.

If this situation occurs, employees are now asked to add a document in addition to the request. The notification appears when an employee wants to request time off in the Employee Hub. A document could be a medical letter or any other relevant information.
