If you haven’t heard yet, we have big news to share with all our clients, partners, and friends. PivotCX was acquired late last month by Daxtra Technologies, an AI-powered resume-parsing company. It’s a match made in heaven: with Daxtra, you can easily search for your ideal candidates in both your ATS and across job boards, and with Pivot, you can then send out text campaigns to these targeted lists of candidates.

Learn more about the Daxtra acquisition in our blog post here.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more information about integrations between Daxtra’s suite of products and PivotCX and how together they can save you time, make recruiting easier, and help you make hires faster.

Improved Video Calling

PivotCX does more than chat. With Pivot, you can make telephone calls and even one-to-one, live video calls. In this release we’ve updated our video call system to make it a better experience for recruiters and most importantly, for candidates:

  • Mute and unmute now follow browser guidelines and work like other video sites.
  • The landscape mode when looking on the phone needed some improving. Adds ability to rotate the video.

Dashboard

We’ve refreshed the dashboard and made a few visual improvements for better information density, appearance, and ease of use:

  • We’ve switch Funnel and the Contacts by Source to side by side
  • The funnel is now vertical and easier to read, and it looks more like an actual ‘funnel’.
  • We’ve cleaned up the response time widgets to make them easier to read and understand.
