ATS & Onboarding
No new feature releases or updates for April.
Recruitment Marketing
New Jobs User Experience Improvements
Job Filters (Enhancement)
- Apply, Close, and Clear All buttons are now locked on the screen, and the filters are opened.
Job Filters (Fix)
- The expand filter included a second title. This has been removed.
Manage Agencies (Fix)
- When selecting an agency and saving it in Manage Agencies, the user was redirected to legacy jobs. This has been resolved.
CRM Improvements
Email All Feature is Retired (Enhancement)
- Users with Mass Email privilege use the Mass Email feature (which has the same capabilities as Email All).
Feature to Prevent Sending Emails from CRM to Candidates with Refused Email Consent (Enhancement)
- Emails will only be sent to candidates with provided consent or when email consent is not collected.
- The feature is currently off for existing customers but can be turned on by submitting a Help Center ticket.
Other Enhancements and Fixes
Referrals – Assert Feature (Fix)
- When a candidate joined a talent network, an associated general referral was changed to Applied, and the applied notification was sent. This has been resolved, and the general referral to Applied is no longer updated.
Referrals – ATS Status Change (Fix)
- Ignore ATS status change on different jobs when the exclusivity model is job-specific, as this incorrectly changes the referral status. ATS status change on different jobs should only be considered when the model is candidate-specific.
Apply Workflow – Conditional Questions (Fix)
- Users were unable to load a workflow step when a question was deleted. This has been resolved. Users can now load a candidate workflow step when there is a deleted conditional question.

Analytics
Workflow – Talent Network Performance (RM) Explore Improvements
Workflow – Talent Network Performance (Enhancement)
- The Candidate and Candidate – Custom Fields tables have been integrated into the Workflow – Talent Network Performance Explore within Analytics, enhancing the array of data analysis avenues available.
Profiles Report (RM)
Previously, the Profiles Report resided solely within the Recruitment Marketing module and was built off an application database utilized by outdated data logic and design standards.
In response to this issue, the Profiles Report and other reports in the Reports tab have been revitalized to foster innovation and efficiency for data analysis. The Profiles Report provides comprehensive insights into the composition and growth of profiles within RM. It aims to address critical questions, including the total count of profiles existing in RM and the growth rate of resumes/profiles being added over time.
Value
Through accurate metrics on profile counts and growth rates, coupled with detailed analysis of emerging trends and sources, customers can optimize recruitment strategies, allocate resources judiciously, and foster continuous improvement.
Engagement – Email Activity Model
Customers have asked for increased actionable drill-down features to delve deep and analyze candidate data comprehensively for email activities.
What Changed
Enhanced drill-down capabilities in Reports are provided using the Engagement-Email Activity Model, such as the Email Pipeline Report and Detail Email Performance Report. This solution provides users with granular insights into Recipient Name, Recipient Email, Event Date, Email Template, Campaign Name, Campaign ID, Job Title, Job Group ID, Sender Email, and Sender Name on email event metrics such as clicked, opened, sent, etc.
Value
By adding these drill-down features into this model, users will gain the ability to navigate and interpret candidate data with precision, enabling informed decision-making and targeted optimization of recruitment campaigns. This solution not only meets the immediate needs of our customers but also provides more sophisticated and user-centric analytic capabilities for talent acquisition professionals.
