monday work management new features – March 2025

Introduction

The March 2025 monday.com webinar unveiled a suite of powerful new features designed to enhance security, automation, and collaboration for teams. Focused on a use case for the fictional startup "Smart Start Innovations," the session demonstrated how these tools can streamline HR processes, though their applications extend far beyond.

Key features highlighted

Hidden workspaces for enhanced security

A standout addition for Enterprise users, hidden workspaces ensure closed workspaces don’t appear in search results for non-members. This is particularly valuable for HR, legal, or finance teams handling sensitive data. The feature prevents unauthorised access requests by making workspaces invisible to those not explicitly invited.

Granular board permissions

Enterprise plans now offer deeper control over board access. Teams can restrict permissions by columns, views, or even sub-items, ensuring members only interact with relevant data. For example, recruiters can view applicant lists without accessing salary details.

Editable form submissions

A long-requested feature, users can now edit existing form submissions (e.g., job applications), with changes syncing automatically to monday.com boards. This eliminates duplicate entries and manual updates.

AI-powered innovations

File column extraction

AI can now scan uploaded files (e.g., CVs) to extract and summarise key details like work experience or skills, saving hours of manual review. Custom prompts allow teams to tailor insights to their needs.

Automated interviewer assignment

AI dynamically assigns interviewers based on criteria such as job role or shared skills, reducing manual coordination.

Smart date awareness

The system auto-calculates deadlines (e.g., "3 days left") by referencing today’s date, with conditional formatting to highlight urgency.

Interview note summarisation

Scattered interview notes are consolidated into structured summaries via AI, making candidate comparisons faster.

Workflow and onboarding upgrades

Math-based automations

New AI math calculations enable automations triggered by formula columns (e.g., salary offer comparisons), with personalised follow-ups.

User-join triggers

Workflows can now activate when new users join an account, automating onboarding steps like board subscriptions or task assignments.

Enterprise announcement banner

A new banner ensures critical updates (e.g., new hire welcomes) appear at the top of every user’s dashboard upon login.

Conclusion

The webinar showcased how monday.com’s latest features—particularly AI integrations—can transform complex processes like hiring into seamless, automated workflows. While the demo centred on HR, these tools are adaptable across departments, from finance to project management.

For those eager to explore further, monday.com’s upcoming AI Summit (7 April 2025) and the Building Workflows learning path were promoted as key resources.
