Product Update April 2025

Follow our monthly product updates as we share the latest features to help you strategically design and develop teams and the work environment.

Our latest updates bring a fresh perspective to job applications, making the process smoother, smarter, and more efficient. With intuitive features designed for clarity and precision, we’re reimagining how candidates connect with job opportunities - and how hirers build better candidate matches and talent pools.

Introduction 

We've made some thoughtful updates to our platform, designed to make job applications a more streamlined experience for your candidates. They’ll find the process smoother, smarter, and more efficient, with intuitive features that prioritise clarity and precision. 

The best part is, we have the data to prove that the changes are driving improved completion rates across the board.

Key features of the updated candidate experience:

Assisted resume / CV extraction

We've simplified CV uploads with our guided parsing feature. It extracts the important information, like qualifications and experience, and walks candidates through a review.

This helps ensure that all the details are accurate and complete, making the application process smoother and more efficient.

Go beyond skills

Our integrated assessments go beyond skills, helping organisations identify candidates who align with their unique work culture, empowering organisations to make data-driven hiring decisions.

Our platform analyses these insights alongside required skills and qualifications, ensuring a stronger match. Our updated application now provides candidates with a personalised view of their own work personality.

The glow up

We've significantly enhanced the application form, giving it a complete 'glow up' for a more user-friendly experience. The design is now cleaner and clearer, making it easier for candidates to navigate and understand each section.

This updated interface ensures that all essential information is readily visible and easily reviewed, reducing the risk of missing critical details.

Early results

The early release has shown some very encouraging results for our customers, their candidate experience, and overall talent pool growth.

The data was already strong, but these numbers are making it exceptional.

• 21% increase in completed personality assessments
• 20% increase in completed job fit assessments
• 5% increase in overall sign-up to submit conversion
• Significant numbers of candidates are choosing to keep information parsed from their CVs—a sign that the parsing accurately reflects CV content.

Summary 

These enhancements aren’t just about making applications easier.  They are about improving the overall process—for everyone. The updated candidate experience brings together time-saving features, intuitive tools, and insights that help applications stand out.

With better tools in place, the business can focus on clarity, alignment, and efficiency, we’re simplifying job applications while improving the quality of matches. 

Compono’s Hire solution harnesses these updates to create a smarter way of connecting talent with opportunity.
