New – Crelate Co-Pilot
Crelate Business Plus customers can now preview the new Crelate Co-Pilot, powered by AI and Real Recruiter Intelligence™. To get started, your Crelate Administrator must enable Crelate Co-Pilot, and each user has the flexibility to opt-in as desired.
To use Crelate Co-Pilot, additional organization demographic data will be required. This information helps the AI generate more accurate and relevant prompts.
Crelate Co-Pilot brings almost 30 different capabilities to your fingertips: in the flow of your day-to-day use of Crelate. We call these capabilities Skills. Skills refer to the options and actions available within the Crelate Co-Pilot chat bot, which vary depending on the area of the app you are navigating and the data currently on the screen. Skills blend model AI capabilities together with recruiter specific contextual actions. Here are just some of the Skills available.

Advanced Checklists (Onboarding and Offboarding) support additional capabilities such as external actions, like background checks, and task assignments in the employee portal.
Crelate’s UI Refresh
We’ve made over 150 tweaks to our user interface, to freshen things up a bit. Look for more consistent colors, labels, spacing, and menus throughout. We’ve rounded edges, softened colors and shadows, and highlighted areas that users often miss. We know user interface chances can be challenging; we worked hard to make subtle changes and not move things around.
Improved UI Throughout Crelate
We upgraded the UI font to a more modern font while softening color palletes; we’ve added a new “Notice Me” blue to certain buttons, we’ve rounded the edges of dialogs, buttons, sliders, tags, colored and outlined the stars (making them much more accessible).
Improved – Email Dialog
The Email Dialog is now refreshed, resizable, properly centers on the screen, has an improved email templates experience, and a few other general tweaks. Enjoy!
New – Collapse Homepage Right Panel
You can now collapse the right panel on the Crelate homepage. This simplifies the screen and gives you more space to work on your Recruiting, Sales and other workflows.
Improved – List Improvements
With almost 100 upvotes on our feedback board; we’ve added two top requested capabilities to Lists. From Contacts, Companies and Jobs/Opportunities, you can now see all Lists the record is a part of (not just the Top 10 Recent Lists), you can now assign multiple Lists at once and remove from multiple lists at once! New capabilities include:
NEW: See all Lists a record is currently on (Note: only lists you own or are shared with you.)
NEW: Add a record to multiple Lists at once
NEW: Remove a record from one or more Lists at once
From a Contact, Job or Company, navigate to This Contact | Manage Lists | See all Lists for this record…

To save time, you can now select multiple lists in the Select List(s) dialog.
New – Reporting/Quick Filters – Quicker User Dashboards
We’ve heard from many of our customers that they need a way to easily switch between data for different users within the Reports dashboard. Often, this has meant creating multiple report pages for each recruiter. With our new Quick Filter tiles in Reports, you can achieve the same result without the hassle of managing numerous report pages.
Why You’ll Love It:
Quick-Filter Tiles allow you to quickly toggle Report pages based on users and dates, making it easier than ever to access the data you need.

Data Exports (Backups) – UPDATED
CHANGED – Requesting and downloading Data Exports
To better serve growing data storage and retention needs, we are expanding Crelate’s capabilities by making fundamental changes in how we handle Organization Backups and Exports. With the increased demand and size of backups, we have altered the way we queue, bundle, and distribute backups initiated through Crelate.
Updated – Custom Fields
CHANGED – Managing Custom Fields
The management of Custom Fields has moved for all Core Records from the various “Customize Fields” or “Customize Form” dialogs to a new Custom Fields area within each Core Record in Settings.
The concept of Logical Names has been introduced to make interfacing with these Custom Fields easier. This gives you the ability to specify API keyed names which you can use instead of the previous CustomFieldX approach.
CHANGED – Creating and Deleting Custom Fields
Creating and Deleting Custom Fields is now handled via the Custom Fields
area on Core Records.
CRELATE Platform
March 2024
Crelate API v3 – UPDATED
NEW – Support for Data Exports (Backups)
With the overall changes made to Data Exports (Backups), we have updated API v3 to include support for various Backup functionality. These newly added endpoints have been created with the new partitioned structure in mind and should be used going forward to interact with Data Exports programmatically.
CHANGED – New Custom Field support
To coincide with the overall changes made to Custom Fields, we are making interacting with Custom Fields easier via the API and have introduced a “CustomFields” property bag. This can be found on various endpoints for Entities that support Custom Fields. This property bag is keyed off the newly introduced Logical Name concept, which can be configured in the new Custom Fields areas of Core Records.
IMPROVED – General Stability Improvements
We have made several improvements to general API v3 stability by addressing issues raised by our customers and partners. This includes exposing more fields, improving documentation, addressing defects, and adding more entity support (e.g., Job Types).
NEW – Employee Id on Users
IMPROVED – New Employee Id field on Users
An EmployeeId field has been added to Users in Crelate. This field can be set on both new and existing Users and optiona. However, it must be unique between users in your organization. This EmployeeId can be used during bulk import as a distinguishing field for matching cell values to users in your Crelate instance. A common use case for this field is to store an employee/payroll Id that can be used to relate the Crelate user record to a record in an external timekeeping/payroll system.

Interview Loops
Simplify setting up interviews when you’re ready to move a candidate to an interview loop! Recruiters can create reusable templates for interview loops tailored to similar jobs which can be configured to have single or multiple interview sessions. These templates can also support one or more interviewers assigned to each individual session within the loop.
To support the interviewer who may or may not have time to review a candidate prior to joining a meeting, this feature also can include notes for multiple audiences — meaning the last-minute notes they might need can be included in the interview record without the risk of exposing to the candidate directly. Other common use cases for notes include conference call details, links to company websites for the candidate, and specific target questions for the interviewer to focus on.

Scorecards
Scorecards give recruiters the ability to use a set of questions from the Interview Question Bank to assign to interviewers who will use them for the interview itself. These can be created as reusable templates to speed up the scoring process. Scorecards provide the ability to compare multiple candidates side by side based on various categories to surface important details needed for the final determination to move forward with hiring.

Crelate’s Compliance module manages all the documentation your team needs and confirms your hires have all the credentials they need to get right to work on the first day of their assignment.

Omni vNext
Omni vNext
In 2022, we launched the first iteration of our middle and back-office software offerings. Customer response has been highly positive and we are already iterating based on early adopter feedback. Specifically, look for the team to offer:
Timecard import
Ability to import timecards using a CSV file to facilitate mass data importation, particularly for customers using VMS software.
Overtime and Pay Calculation rules
Expand and enhance our handling of numerous payment scenarios. This enables users to define rules for interpreting time. The most notable aspect of this is that we will be able to calculate overtime. Users will also be able to configure pay plans that take advantage of holiday calendars, set pay and time rates, and have the system interpret time based on any criteria they configure for a company, opportunity, or employee.
Next Level Fit and Finish
We take great pride in the product that we build. Pride of ownership is just one of the reasons we have a credit screen in our About Box where every member of our team gets to put their name and say, “I built this.” We’re expanding our investment in responding to community Feedback items that align with fit and finish—fixing little things that make the product more enjoyable.
Recruitment Project Management
Track recruiting activities to fill positions within a timeframe. The recruiting team can prioritize and estimate the work needed to fill openings. They can update the burndown matrix as they advance against this estimate. Maintain their hiring targets and alter their recruitment strategy if they behind. Helps improve the recruiting process by revealing the success of different recruitment methods.
Search Action for Companies
This will introduce additional functionality to the company search area From Search, and gives options when using search for Companies or Jobs. This should work the same as find, having the ability to add companies or jobs to lists, add companies to ‘Employment Search’, etc…
Split Calculations
Assign percentages and fixed values for split agreements and payouts.
Relationships
Highlight and leverage contact connections to enhance and maintain relationships.
On the horizon.
And we’re not done yet. We remain committed to our values of continuous self-improvement, transparency, and flexibility. And, most importantly, we continue to listen to you, our customers, as we plan future releases, features and product updates.
