Microsoft Outlook Plugin

The CATS Outlook Plug-in allows you to quickly log communications with candidates and contacts directly from this popular email client.

While there is certainly no shortage of ideas for this tool, our primary focus in the current release is to automate the recording of conversation exchanges through email. This previously mundane task of copying and pasting messages has now been reduced to just a few clicks.

After installing our plug-in, a new toolbar will appear in Outlook titled “CATS” with our familiar product logo. Clicking on this button will bring up a list of features, which include logging of the selected message and an option to create a new candidate or contact to the system if they don't already exist. Options exist to import resumes and to edit the information being recorded. Time and dates of the original activities are preserved.

Development for this tool is far from complete. Many plans such as calendar integration are planned for future releases; however, not to worry, the plug-in will keep itself up-to-date automatically by prompting you to update whenever a new version is available.

The plug-in is available to all of our professional subscribers at no additional charge and is compatible with Outlook 2000 or later on Windows. If you're not a professional subscriber and you're no longer on our professional trial, we'd be happy to issue a new trial period for you to try out the tool before upgrading – just contact our support team.
