			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I released an update to the application that provides an ATOM feed for your job listings.  This allows you to publish your jobs any place that will take a feed, like a widget for your blog, or your Facebook page.  You need to have the public job listing option turned on for your account, then you&#8217;ll be able to get the feed from yourdomain.catchthebest.com/jobs.atom (yourdomain.catchthebest.com/jobs is the normal view for your public job listing).  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the features I like about Catch the Best is the vote blinding.  If you haven&#8217;t yet voted on a candidate, you don&#8217;t get to see how others have voted on that candidate.  I like this feature because it helps prevent group-think &#8212; once one or two people make their opinion of a candidate known, it can be hard to get dissenting opinions.</p>
<p>However, not everybody likes this feature. <img src='http://catchthebest.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   So, by popular demand, you can now turn this feature off for your team.  After choosing the Settings link from the top navigation, choose the Vote Hiding link to turn it off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have released a couple of new features this week:  the ability to have a public job listing hosted by Catch the Best and to set reminders related to a candidate.</p>
<p>For a while now you&#8217;ve been able to use a Javascript snippet to display your open positions from Catch the Best on a web page on your own site.  Now I have added another option for displaying your jobs list&#8230; now you can simply link to yourdomain.catchthebest.com/jobs from your existing web site for visitors to see what jobs you have available.  Even better, you can completely customize that list and the web submission form, so now the layout of the public Catch the Best pages can exactly match your existing site.  The end result is you can have a dynamic careers page for your web site based on your data from Catch the Best that is consistent with your current web site&#8217;s look and feel.</p>
<p>By popular demand, you can now add a reminder for yourself when looking at a candidate&#8217;s profile page.  This is handy for recruiters who want to periodically check on passive candidates, or for anyone who just needs a little help with checking back on a promising applicant.  It&#8217;s simple to do, too:  just click &#8220;Add reminder&#8221; on the candidate profile page, enter a brief message to yourself and a time to be reminded, like &#8220;next month&#8221;, and choose whether you&#8217;d like to receive the reminder via email.  Once you set it, you&#8217;ll never have to worry about dropping the ball on a good prospect again. <img src='http://catchthebest.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of interaction between applicants and the hiring manager will happen via email, and now <a href="http://catchthebest.com">Catch the Best</a> has a way to capture those emails so everyone on the team can easily see those exchanges.  </p>
<p>An email address is displayed on the candidate detail page that you can use to add emails to the notes associated with a candidate&#8217;s profile.  So, when you email the candidate and include this auto-generated email address as a BCC, your email to the candidate will appear in the candidate&#8217;s notes for your team to see.</p>
