Confirmation Emails per Job

Custom confirmation emails per job allow you to send out different messages for each job after a candidate applies.

Writing custom confirmation emails gives you even more flexibility in how you structure your hiring process.

Candidate Search

You can now search candidates in Homerun from the comfort of almost any page. Rather than having to find a candidate by looking up the right job opening and then clicking through to the candidate, you can now summon a candidate's profile page directly from the Candidate Search bar.

At Homerun, we’ve worked really hard to get to know this new GDPR regulation inside out. This resulted in the launch of specific, dedicated GDPR features that enable you to make your hiring GDPR compliant.

New insights

We worked really hard on our new insights. From now on you can immediately get an insight into how different sources are performing with regards to the promotion of your job post. Which enables you to look up how many visitors, applicants and even hires every specific source is responsible for.

New marketing website

Our product has grown a lot in the last year and our previous website didn’t accurately represent what Homerun was about anymore. That’s why we’ve launched a brand new website to better explain what we’re all about and how Homerun can help you attract better candidates and streamline your entire hiring process.

Has applied before

Sometimes people don’t know when to persevere and when to give up. That also happens to people who really, really want to work at your company. No matter how often they apply or to what job opening. Wouldn’t it be easy to get a notification when someone applies, that he/she has applied before? Well, from now on you will get those notifications :)

Homerun redesigned

We've redesigned the entire review workflow, which is now stage-based, enabling you to focus on exactly those candidates that are relevant to you. Second, we've rebuild a lot of code from the ground up, which now makes Homerun faster than ever! We've also added a new job navigation, making you click a whole lot less.
