  System Updates and Enhancements

1. 1. 1. Salesforce Plug-In For Goal Metrics: (If you are interested in this feature reach out to your ClearCompany Representative)
         

         Salesforce Plugin for Goal Metrics makes it possible to view Salesforce data in our Goals product. Managers need to evaluate multiple data points to understand their direct report's performance levels; viewing quantitative data from Salesforce is one way of assessing progress toward goals. By presenting this data throughout the performance product, managers can save time and create a holistic view of their team member's performance without having to leave ClearCompany.
         
         

      2. Employee Journey Enhancement: 
         This enhancement is to the Employee Journey. Employee Journey shows events and milestones and this tool helps HR admin visualize the data from the different parts of our platform for employees. This enhancement adds Prior Employment to the view, including roles from a user's resume from previous employers and roles that they have held within their current organization.
         
         
      3. Candidate & New Hire Self-Service Bulk Import: 
         

         Clients have long wanted to import candidates in bulk into ClearCompany for a variety of scenarios. We have always required clients to use their ClearCompany Representative. With this feature, recruiters can bulk import candidates into ClearCompany from a CSV or XLS. 
         
         

      4. CEO Monthly Digest: (If you are interested in this feature reach out to your ClearCompany Representative)
         This monthly email allows us to share key system data with CEOs. We will provide data about the hiring, onboarding, and performance metrics.
