Recruiting Inbox and Compensation Reviews

Recruiting Inbox and Compensation Reviews

Candidate email now lives inside flair

You can now handle candidate email without leaving flair — in both Salesforce and the Employee Hub. In the Recruiting app, a new Recruiting Inbox brings candidate conversations into a familiar, Gmail-style layout: a global inbox for everything, a home-page card that surfaces unread candidate emails, and a per-job Inbox tab that shares the same filters as your candidates table — reply, reply-all, forward or compose without switching tools. And hiring managers working in the Employee Hub can read the full email thread and reply to candidates straight from the application, with no Salesforce access required. Every message stays on the same thread, wherever it's sent from.

Key highlights:

  • A Gmail-style Recruiting Inbox in Salesforce — a global inbox plus a per-job Inbox tab that shares your candidates-table filters
  • Hiring managers can read and reply from the Employee Hub, without Salesforce access
  • Every message stays on one shared thread across both surfaces

Run compensation reviews right in the Hub

Compensation reviews now run end-to-end in flair. HR sets up a review across a group of employees, and each assessing manager gets their own review in the Employee Hub — set a new amount per person or apply a merit percentage across the whole team, with each person's pay band shown (and out-of-band amounts highlighted) plus the total monthly cost. Submit for approval, and approvers can approve or reject in the Hub without switching to Salesforce. On approval, new salaries take effect automatically on the date you choose — and HR can revert the entire review if needed.

Key highlights:

  • Managers review and adjust their team's salaries directly in the Hub
  • Pay-band guidance with out-of-band highlighting and a live total-cost figure
  • Approve or reject in the Hub; approved salaries apply automatically and stay revertible

More Improvements This Month

Report on your HR data with charts and exports

The reports builder gets a big upgrade. Switch any report between line, area, bar, column and pie charts, filter, sort and search the results table, and export any report to CSV or Excel with one click. Two new built-in reports — New Hires Over Time and Employee Headcount Over Time — are ready to use, alongside a new Time Balance vs. Absence Category report.

Run multiple branded Employee Hubs

Organizations that operate several brands or entities can now run multiple Employee Hubs from one flair org. Each Hub has its own domain, logo and login page, and Slack notifications and email links are automatically routed to the Hub assigned to each recipient's entity. If you run a single Hub, nothing changes. Learn more about multiple Employee Hubs →

HR admins can now add custom navigation to the Hub: links in the sidebar, a Quick Links card on the dashboard, and entries in the profile dropdown. Each one can open an external URL, an embedded Salesforce Flow, or a custom component — and you can group related links so they expand inline. Visibility is controlled per employee with the segmentation you already use. Learn more about custom Hub navigation →

Choose a break type when you pause the clock

When employees pause a time entry, they can now pick a break type — such as Lunch, Coffee or Smoke — instead of a single generic break. Admins configure the available break types in Salesforce, each with its own duration rules. Learn more about time tracking →

Attach files to company announcements

You can now attach documents, PDFs and images to a company announcement. Employees view and download them straight from the Latest Updates card on the Hub dashboard and on the People → Announcements page.

Smaller Updates & Fixes

  • Absences: Pending requests now show a diagonal-stripe overlay in calendars, so it's clear at a glance which days are still awaiting approval.
  • Compensation: A pay-band indicator now appears when you submit a single salary change, flagging out-of-band amounts before you send.
  • Compensation: Managers' visibility of recurring and one-time compensation can be controlled independently from base salary.
  • Time Tracking: For project work, you can now pick your project directly from the time-tracking widget while clocked in — the hours are logged against it automatically when you clock out.
  • Time Tracking: Time Types can now separate regular and overtime hours, splitting a worked period automatically on the timesheet.
  • Shift Planner: Each employee row now shows their current time balance — surplus in green, deficit in red — and shifts at other locations appear as read-only overlays to catch double-bookings.
  • Notifications: Employees are now notified when a data change request is approved, rejected or gets a new comment; hiring managers are emailed only when directly @mentioned.
  • Career Portal: Job listings now show skeleton placeholders while loading and scroll back to the top when opened.
  • Employee Hub: If you've renamed the Employee, Location or Department objects in Salesforce, those custom names now appear throughout the Hub, translated per employee.
