Released to customers on October 19th, Darwin v3 sees the addition of Social Media integration including LinkedIn, Twitter and Social Monitoring. Recruiters can now browse LinkedIn profiles from inside their recruitment software, and import a candidate's LinkedIn CV directly into the database. Recruiters can also watch and react to live Twitter streams; and create social alerts that let them know as soon as their agency or any of their jobs are mentioned.
CEO Mike Charter, said: "Our mission is to give agencies the competitive edge they need in today's economy. So we bring their data, their emails and their social connections into one place, inside a familiar Microsoft recruitment application. We then link that application out to their website and to job boards, creating the optimum recruitment experience."
Version 3 also includes features like 1-click job board posting and Microsoft SQL Server reporting. These new features build on the existing functionality like Outlook Inbox integration and Global Searching of records, notes, emails & CVs.
Ideal for smaller agencies of 1-10 recruiters, Darwin self-installs in under 10 minutes, with training taking a further 30 minutes. For larger or more progressive agencies, Darwin is available as an on-premises server version, which can be customised or integrated with other systems.
Behind its user-friendly Microsoft Office exterior, Darwin is a next generation CRM database. A hybrid of desktop software with cloud data storage, the recruitment software integrates with Outlook so that recruiters can actually see their Inbox directly inside the software itself, where emails are automatically processed to Candidates' profiles without intervention. Even smaller customers have data stored in their own SQL Server database, which they can choose to update themselves using the world's first VisualForm Designer that Darwin created back in 2005.
