Remote Talent AI, career journal, Gusto EOR in India, Vanta integrations: April 2024 product release notes

One of the core principles we champion at Remote is intensity, which we reflected in our improved features this month.

We're using AI to generate accurate and unbiased job descriptions that stand out on Remote Talent. You can also use our improved role and permission settings to protect sensitive information.

With our new career journal, employees can privately document their accomplishments and milestones. Last but not least, employers and contractors have more flexibility in choosing currency and creating invoices.

We hope you all enjoy the updates.

Remote Talent AI job assistant

By analyzing your job descriptions, Remote AI will generate an improved copy that’s in line with local rules, eliminates bias, and enhances the overall structure to attract a diverse pool of qualified candidates. It screens for discriminatory language, corrects spelling and grammatical errors, and optimizes for readability. With just one click, you can seamlessly accept revisions for a polished job posting.

Contractor invoices from tracked hours 

Contractors can conveniently generate invoices directly from timesheets, eliminating manual effort for every invoice request. 

Our platform calculates the total hours spent automatically, considering only regular and on-call hours across a chosen time range. In one click, contractors can sum up their tracked hours.

If there is a predefined hourly rate, it applies automatically to the invoice. If the employer hasn’t set an hourly rate, the contractor can add it from their end. It’s easy for employers to review, approve, and pay invoices. Learn more on our Help Center: How to create invoices from time tracking

Career Journals

Designed to empower employees for performance reviews and evaluations, we launched a career journal for your team members to track their achievements. 

Every employee can confidentially document their achievements, big or small, throughout their journey. It’s easy to record updates, feedback, and transform everyday experiences into valuable growth opportunities and meaningful impacts.

New permissions and account management

Admins can protect their employee data with the new "Team - Restricted" permission level. Our updated permission feature helps keep your employee's personally identifiable information safe while giving admins more control over sensitive data.

Additionally, employers can effortlessly manage multiple employer profiles using a single email and password, eliminating the hassle of creating multiple unique logins – perfect if your company operates multiple subsidiaries.

Multi-receipt expense requests and new notifications

Your team members can now attach multiple attachments to a single expense, perfect for instances when one expense item requires more than one receipt. Additionally, to streamline communication and minimize interruptions, we send daily summary emails to both employers and employees. This helps everyone stay informed without overwhelming inboxes.
