The quarter MatchMaker Automate arrived, along with smarter schedules, GDPR-aware emails and a host of everyday improvements.

Expiring compliance is one of the quiet risks in temporary recruitment. Nobody forgets on purpose, but when the reminder relies on someone remembering to send it, sooner or later a candidate works with an out-of-date check. Our users asked for a better way.

You asked, we delivered is our quarterly look at the ideas from MatchMaker users that have made it into the software. Every suggestion comes from a recruiter, a payroll team or one of our own support and account staff who saw a way to make the working day easier.

Compliance that chases itself

The idea of emailing candidates automatically when their compliance is about to expire became part of something much bigger: MatchMaker Automate. Alongside compliance chasing, automations gained two more user-suggested improvements this quarter:

  • Monthly schedules, so an automation can run on a chosen day each month as well as weekly.
  • GDPR awareness, so automated emails respect each record's consent settings.

Everyday improvements

  • Spotler mailings logged against a contact now appear in the client's contact log too.
  • A Days option in the column chooser, for agencies (especially in education) whose clients think in days rather than hours.
  • The KPI tracker now talks about targets rather than goals.
  • Position Sought is now shown on candidate screening.
  • SMS provider settings now include sign-up links for our partner providers, making it quicker to get text messaging running.
