Sending candidates/contact to FF from gmail
Would be great if you could integrate with gmail to create a similar add in as Outlook to send candidates and/or contacts to FireFish.
As a business we use Gmail and having to use Outlook just so we can interact with FF is not ideal.

Count emails to potential matches as a mailer
Currently if you send a bulk email to your potential matches list on a job it will send it to them even if they have opted out of email marketing. This is risky with the new GDPR guidelines and it would be better if this was also counted as marketing so if someone opts out they don't receive these messages.
1 votePlease to confirm this has now been released.
Candidates in the Potential Matches and Considering list of a job record will only be emailed if opted into email marketing.
Many Thanks

Allow major job boards to auto populate fields at application stage
We use CW Jobs and have discovered that 50 - 90% of job applications are aborted by candidates once they hit the "apply" button and are taken to the Firefish URL (requiring entry of name, email, mobile number, attach CV, and how did you "hear of us" fields.)
The alternative to using the URL is receiving applications by email, but this totally defeats the idea of Firefish.
CW Jobs are willing to auto populate all of these fields to make it easier for candidates to apply and to increase applications via FF by a huge percentage, but would need to…
1 voteWe’ve now enhanced our integration with Stepstone job boards (including CW Jobs) so that job board applications will come directly into Firefish.

Add the field Candidate ref No. to the jobs standard reports module
Standard reports in the Jobs module currently return the candidates name, it would be useful if these reports also gave the candidates reference number.
1 voteHi
The candidate ref number is now included in the following reports;
Jobs – User Action Summary
Jobs – Candidates in Pipeline
Jobs – Time to Fill
Jobs – Candidate Fallout
Jobs – Contractors Out
Jobs – Sales FiguresThanks for your suggestion!

Legal Plug In - Candidate Segmentation
Allow users to send the Privacy Notice/Candidate Agreement notice email to just a selection of candidates rather than the whole database simultaneously.
We would like to approach groups of candidates in a structured way and not all at once. so that we get a positive outcome not a mass requirement for deletions.
We are trying to keep our candidates not delete them if we can.
1 voteYou can now send the consent request via various lists under Compliance on the To Do list:
Candidates Never Requested
Candidates Expired
Candidates to Follow Up -
removal of data for Superusers only?
AS it is now possible to remove data and is irreversible, do you think it would be advisable to only let Superusers to do this or authorise this?
1 voteThe default for this now for superusers and we have also changed the name of this action to delete. Hopefully this helps to be very clear that you are deleting the candidates personal information and this can not be retried once done.

Activating contact via the Outlook Add-in

Have an "Opt In" or "Subscribe" button
IF we had an "opt in" or "subscribe" link so that we can email all candidates on the system and they can either subscribe or unsubscribe with one click. This would be great for GDPR!

Please change the call function back!
The number for a candidate is no longer seen as you go in to a record immediately, which is beneficial.
We have also found that there are extra clicks for recording call notes now?
We found the previous call function better!

Removing Potential Matches in bulk
Within the potential matches filed in a job it would be handy if you could remove unsuitable candidates in bulk by selecting more than one candidate and clicking a remove button. You can do this for considering so please add a remove button. We like to clear this field down so any new candidates we haven't removed will be added to the potential matches and we will know we haven't already looked at them
1 voteHi Adam
Just noticed this one is still at voting however this improvement has been released.
You now have a remove button on your potential matches list for removing candidates in bulk.
Thanks again for your suggestion!

Creating a new person (long list)
When creating a new contact just now I entered the surname Douglas. This offered many duplicates - 8 pages worth without any offer to increase the number of records per page so you can quick scan through all the records for a duplicate. I had to go through all 8 pages to ensure it was not a duplicate. surely by increasing the number of records you can view here it will help speed up the process and eliminate the risk of duplicate contacts.
1 voteHi Andrew
Looks like we’ve not updated you on this one however the page controls have been added to the potential duplicates list when creating a new person.
Thanks again for your idea!

To text from within a candidates or clients record
It would be great if you could send a text from within a candidate or clients record rather than only being able to do it by search, it would be good to have both options. Thank you

Havea tab on a candidate record which matches them with contacts that might be interested in them based on mutual preference settings
Hi Fishies – great feature – visa versa why not let the reverse apply – when you look at a candidate record who have their preferences set why couldn’t there be a tab that says these contacts at these companies might be interested in them?
It seems to me that by the below the database tables already exist and its just a case of presenting in a different way ?
I for one would like to look at a new specialised candidate that has just registered with us and say to myself “ now which Clients & Prospects can I…

Ability to change the outline colour of the 5 stars.......
This is purely aesthetic - I really don't think red and yellow go well together colour wise. Is there any chance we could change the red outline colour to something more generic like black? It's fantastic that we can personalise our database, love that, this is just the one thing left that bugs me. I guess the red is because Firefish is red? Sorry for being picky :-)

allow you to copy interview details to multiple people
If we could copy interview details to multiple people in the recruiter/external interview tabs in workflow, it would save us having to give each candidate individual interview details.

Bulk email and text in job workflow stages
send ordinary emails or text messages in job searches. Having to send each one individually is a waste of time. I do not wish to send the job spec and I can't remove it.

Special Occasions
It would be great for special occasions for example Christmas we could have snow drops falling down on the website if you catch my drift, on valentines love hearts, kisses and so on and so forth. Great idea yeh?

Be able to search clients by a postcode search to allow for target area.
It would be good to be able to bring back fuller lists of clients using postcode radius search as not all client files are going to be coded properly and this will allow us to bring those, relevant, but not searchable client files up into a useable list for marketing
1 voteHi,
Many thanks for your votes and comments on this idea.
This has now been released to the current version of Firefish.
We’d love to hear your feedback – please send this to support@firefishsoftware.com

include the permanent job alert 'Salary Banding' dropdown menu when sending a new candidate to FF via the Outlook plugin
When sending a new candidate to FF through the Outlook plugin, it shows the drop down menus for candidate preferences: Discipline, Location and Speciality.
Would be great if you could add a 'Salary Banding' to the dropdown option for permanent job alerts when we send a new candidate to FF through the Outlook plugin.
When we include 'Desired Salary' under Permanent, it does not update their job alert preferences to our predetermined 'Salary Banding' dropdowns we created so you have to go in and create a new Job Alert Preference for each and every canddiate, otheriwse they are not sent…
