SquadGurus September 2022 Release Update

September 13, 2022

There are many features release since the last update here. Here are some of the highlights:

Significant Feature Updates

 

And more!

  • Currency alignment – all proposals must match the currency set by the client when the opportunity is created
  • Candidate rates by role for Staff Augmentation & Team opportunities – providers can propose candidates to different roles with different rates as needed
  • Private and exclusive opportunities – now clients (and SquadGurus) can narrow the list of providers to the ones that are best suited for your opportunity. Only those invited will be able to view and respond
  • Provider invitations – we can now send out invitations to providers to view and respond to any opportunity (including ones that are “public”)
  • Providers can better indicate where they can staff opportunities – in a remote/distributed workforce model, we have enabled providers to expand where they can staff from beyond where they have primary delivery centers (providers – note you should update your locations under settings)
  • Automatic notification of new opportunities to eligible providers – if your location matches, you’ll get notified anytime a new opportunity is published
  • Many minor features including better navigation in Opportunities section (applies to Providers and SquadGurus users), enhanced filters, sorting and search functions, and the ability to delete users from your account
