Sterndesk enhances filtering, search, and docs. Stay tuned! 🚀

Hey everyone!

Welcome to this week’s Sterndesk update. This time, we took a step back from active development to refine our roadmap, and we’re excited to share what’s coming next. As always, feel free to reach out to me personally via email or phone—I’d love to hear your thoughts.

This week’s updates:
  • Weekly product updates are now available on our website: Sterndesk Product Updates. You can check in anytime to see what’s new.

‍

  • Crew filtering has been improved. You can now filter candidates by job posting and pipeline stage.

‍

  • Clicking on a stage of any pipeline will instantly show all candidates within that stage.

What’s next on our roadmap:
  • Search functionality will soon be improved, allowing you to search for keywords across all resumes on Sterndesk. This will make it much faster to find the right candidates.
  • A document checker will be introduced after that, enabling you to upload training matrices and quickly find candidates who meet the required qualifications. If you want to join the discussion around this new direction, feel free to leave comments in the brainstorm document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JIqMj44zIXhNHu7Fzi9qerRKvWfaUKO7KmkrDLe6K94/edit?usp=sharing

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to bringing these improvements to you. If you have any feedback or feature requests, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Clearer certificates, smarter search, better feedback.

Welcome everyone,

We’re excited to share this week’s updates for Sterndesk.
We’ve made several improvements to enhance the search experience and overall functionality. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or feedback—either via email or phone.

Here are the key updates from this week:
Crew Profiles:  

‍We’ve added a clear visual indicator for expired certificates in crew profiles. This makes it immediately apparent when a profile requires attention, ensuring compliance and safety standards are maintained.


Enhanced Search with AI Features:

‍The search functionality on both the dashboard and jobs.tospeople.com now includes advanced AI capabilities. Using natural language processing, the system understands the intent behind your queries. For example, typing “no cooking” will return job posts that don’t require cooking skills.


Improved User Feedback During Searches:

‍We’ve introduced a progress indicator on jobs.tospeople.com to provide better feedback during searches. Users can now see a loading spinner or message while their search results are being generated.


Thank you for your continued support as we work to improve Sterndesk every week!

Crew avatars, clear job status, and recruiter privacy.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to this week’s update for Sterndesk. This week is especially exciting as the crew section has become much more personal! Check out the exact changes below, and as always, feel free to reach out to me via email or phone.

Crew profiles now display an avatar if one of the submitted documents includes a photo.

This helps create a more personal and engaging experience when viewing crew profiles.


Closed job postings now have a clear visual indicator to prevent crew from applying.

This reduces confusion and saves time by making it obvious which jobs are no longer available.


When a job posting is closed, the recruiter’s contact information is now removed to further prevent crew from reaching out directly.

This protects recruiters' time and ensures communication stays relevant.


Thank you for your continued support.
