Feature Ideas

Implement a way to download a blank PDF/print option for any/all forms created i.e. Reference check forms... I'd like to share what questions and the scales we use on the reference checks with all of our hiring teams but currently cannot do that.

When a candidate updates an application, Red Rover should show: The date the candidate originally applied The date the application was last updated A notification letting the employer know changes were made I recently had two candidates who were not qualified when they first applied. They later earned their degrees and updated their applications, but Red Rover continued to show only their original application dates. I did not know they had become qualified until they contacted me directly. This is especially important because candidates should not be able to apply to the same position more than once. Without an updated date or notification, employers may not know that a candidate has added new qualifications or other important information.

It would be great if the system noted and alerted us if a reference check that was sent by email did not go through or bounced back.

When the download screen pops up to print the application, resume, attachments it would be nice if there was a field to check that unchecks all the boxes so we don't have to uncheck each box except the document we need.

Last Friday we had interviews scheduled. Someone was running late and changed their interview time last minute. According to the chat representative there is no way to stop this from happening. This feature would be ideal so something like this does not happen again.

It would be nice to have a feature that if a candidate doesn't meet the qualifications of a position then they can't submit an application. Like a question of "Do you have a teaching certificate" they select no then it notifies them they don't qualify and cant apply.

It would be great if the Candidates could be put on the Hiring Dashboard so you don't have to go to the Candidates tab everytime.

When an applicant submits an application, it would be very helpful to move their entire application to another position. This function is not available and it is difficult when a candidate gets confused and applies to another position. There is no way to completely move their application to the right job and give the hiring team access to that. Currently, they have to go to the other job and complete that application again. I know you can download the application and share it with the other team, but the videos do not download with it. We are weird and have video responses to every application we post.

We currently have vacancy reasons in absence when we have to hire a substitute for a position but not because an employee is taking an absence ( i.e. activity bus driver or custodians for regional tourneys etc.) Now that we have hiring implemented, we don't want those vacancy reasons (retirement, resignation etc) to be listed with absence vacanies as it can be confusing to those using the drop down menu to choose. Is there a way to break out the vacancy reasons for each module?

Red Rover ~ HELP! The Problem We are seeing a significant number of candidates who believe they have applied for a position when they have actually only “Connected with Us.” I onboard approximately 500 substitutes each school year, and the number of candidates who contact us believing they submitted an application—but did not—is surprisingly high right now. For example, I recently received this message: “Hi, my name is L, and I was a substitute through HDESD a few years back. I’d like to become one again, and submitted my application through the Red Rover aligned portal but was only asked to upload my resume. I’m not sure if this is because of my previous history with you all or if I am missing steps for the cover letter, etc. It said I completed the application on the 4th of August, but I haven’t heard anything. Let me know what next steps are needed from me!” From the candidate's perspective, they genuinely believed they had completed an application. From our perspective - they had only connected with our organization. Why This Matters This creates a significant administrative burden for organizations with high-volume hiring. There is no way for me as one person to identify candidates who believe they applied, determine what they actually completed, and then individually explain that they still need to apply. With one HR staff member managing approximately 500 new substitute hires each school year, it is not feasible to manually monitor and correct this misunderstanding. More importantly, this creates a poor candidate experience. Candidates leave the process thinking they have successfully applied, when in reality they have not entered the hiring process at all. Potential Solution I would strongly recommend adding clearer language and/or prompts to distinguish “Connect with Us” from “Apply.” For example: Add prominent language on the landing page explaining: “Connecting with us does not submit a job application. To be considered for a position, you must click APPLY and complete the application.” After someone clicks “Connect with Us,” provide a clear prompt such as: “Thanks for connecting with us! If you are interested in applying for a position, please click APPLY to begin your application.” Consider adding a confirmation message that explicitly tells the candidate whether they have actually submitted an application. Ideally, candidates should receive a clear distinction between “You have connected with this organization” and “Your application has been submitted.” A simple, unmistakable distinction between these two actions could prevent a substantial amount of candidate confusion and reduce administrative follow-up for high-volume recruiters. Bottom line: If a candidate believes they have applied when they have only connected, the system is not communicating the difference clearly enough.
