CHANGELOG

All notable user-facing changes to Scout are documented in this file (Effective September 2025).

2025-09-04

Introduced two-way folder sync between Scout and JobAdder: folders on JobAdder are now synced with Scout Folders.
When you add someone to a Scout project, they are automatically added to the corresponding folder on JobAdder and will be pushed to the ATS if they are not already present there.
When you add someone directly to the folder on the ATS (JobAdder), they will be pulled into Scout and added to the matching project.
Sync runs on a 20-minute polling interval.
Note: This feature is currently supported on JobAdder.

You are hiring for OSCP Cybersecurity Engineers and want to reach out to potential candidates.

Setup: You have a folder in JobAdder named “Cybersecurity OSCP engineers” which gets automatically synced to Scout as a project.
Source from LinkedIn: While browsing LinkedIn, add promising candidates directly into the Scout project — they will be added to the matching JobAdder folder and pushed to the ATS if not already present.
Search in Scout: Run the job role as a search in Scout (https://app.getscout.ai/search/new), review results, and add relevant people to the project.
Outreach: With candidates in the Scout project, start an email or LinkedIn sequence from Scout to reach out and gauge interest.
Result: Membership and candidate records stay synchronized between Scout and JobAdder (20-minute polling), reducing manual work and keeping the ATS up to date.

Simplify interview coordination by allowing recruiters and hiring managers to manage scheduling interview directly from Scout.

Candidates can choose from the provided slots or suggest alternative time slot, streamlining the back-and-forth of scheduling.
A virtual meeting (Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, etc) is automatically generated and synced once the candidate confirms their preferred time.
Note: This feature requires an active connection to your email client. Please ensure your mailbox is linked and the feature is enabled in your settings before use.
