SmartSearch Plus is our ground-up rebuild of our flagship product. It is due out at the end of the year, and we can’t wait to show it to you. Our new product will be faster, with unparalleled configurability.
You may have noticed our emails are now using a SmartSearch.Plus domain in preparation for this exciting new platform.
Our support department is about to go live with a new ticket tracking system that will provide greater visibility to open requests and better tracking capability for us.
Online chat is also coming soon to ensure we are providing you with the best service possible.
You will also notice our support emails coming from support@smartsearch.plus. While support@smartsearch.plus and urgent@smartsearch.plus will continue to work, we recommend you start using our newer email addresses for your support needs.
At the end of Q1, we will be releasing our newest set of portals.
The new career portal is based on the popular WordPress platform. This will include some exciting widgets to allow you to add job searching and applying to your corporate website.
If you don’t have WordPress, don’t worry, our hosted solution is still available, and we will be offering over a dozen templates to allow you to easily select a look and feel for your career site quickly.
Our manager portal and VMS portals are also getting a new look and feel.
This world-class experience will be sure to dazzle your candidates and hiring managers.
