Zip Codes
Postal Code Repository
What’s new?
We have updated our postal code repository to include additional zip codes that were previously missing.
With these new zip codes added, records entering the matching service with these zip codes will now be properly matched to other records in the surrounding area based on their location radius configuration.
Why does it matter?
This update enhances our matching service by ensuring comprehensive coverage and accurate matches for all records, leading to more reliable and effective results.
Templates
New Template Features

Match
Improved Match Candidates Automation
What’s new?
- The Match Candidates automation step has been enhanced to ensure that matches are provided only for candidates located within the configured radius.
- Example Scenario: If you configure to find 5 excellent quality matches within 10 miles, but only 3 excellent quality matches exist within that radius, the system will now correctly return only those 3 matches.
- Matching Criteria Update: If a candidate’s record doesn’t include a zip code, the system will use city and state for matching. If the city and state are also unavailable, the candidate will not be matched.
Why does it matter?
- Enhanced Accuracy: This update ensures more precise and reliable candidate matching by strictly adhering to the configured radius, thereby improving the quality and relevance of the matches.
- Efficient Data Utilization: When zip codes are missing, the system matches using the city and state, maximizing the use of available data and enhancing the matching process.
- Improved User Experience: Removing the ‘beta’ label and tooltip from the Website Integrations settings signifies the feature’s readiness for production use, providing users a more seamless and professional experience.
Compliance Manager
Display of Candidate Credential Status
What’s new?
When a Candidate’s Credential is set to expire within the next 30 days, the Credential Status will be shown as Expiring in all areas of Compliance Manager and on the Credentials tab of the Placement and Candidate record. This status will revert to the original status once the expiration date is set to a date that is more than 30 days in the future. This change only affects the display status seen in the ATS.
Why is this important?
By displaying that the Candidate’s Credential Status as expired, Compliance specialists can take action to ensure the credential is updated where required.
How do I enable this?
Default for clients with Compliance Manager.

What’s new?
I-9 corrections can now be assigned to any Remote Certifier, notifications will be sent, and the certifier will see the I-9 assignment in their portal upon logging in to the app.
Why is it important?
Previously, the I-9 correction process only allowed the original I-9 Section 2 certifier to make changes when a correction was issued. This could cause problems if the certifier is remote, not an employee, or has left the organization.
Resolved Issues
VMS Timesheet: Import Rounding
VMS timesheet imports now round hours as expected. Previously, VMS timesheet hours with a decimal value of .995 or higher would incorrectly cause an additional hour to be added.

Bullhorn Reporting: Model-related Errors
We resolved an issue in the Bullhorn Reporting model that resulted in intermittent errors. Reports are now running successfully.
Compliance Manager: Candidate Credential Expiration Date

Compliance Manager: Requirements Completed Progress Bar
The progress bar now displays whether necessary credentials have been obtained for a Placement, regardless of the columns selected in View Layout. Previously, removing columns from View Layout resulted in inaccuracies. Resolving this issue allows Recruiters, Compliance Managers, and Credentialing Specialists to identify Placements with unmet requirements quickly.
Constant Contact: Pushing of Tearsheets
Tearsheets are now being pushed to Constant Contact. Users will briefly see the “In Progress” status in the Constant Contact list view while the records are pushed to Constant Contact. Once completed, the Status and Count column column will update. Previously, users would see a Status of “In Progress” and a Count of “0” indefinitely in Bullhorn, and no records would push to Constant Contact.
Firefox: Emails Sent From ATS
You can now send emails from the ATS when using Firefox version 126. Previously, you would receive a red “Unknown Error” banner, and the email would not send as expected.
SSO: Azure & Okta Access To The Bullhorn For Gadget
Single sign-on (SSO) Users will now be automatically logged into the Bullhorn for Email Gadget when using either the Outlook Desktop Application (ODA) or the Online Web Application (OWA). Previously, users with an email address associated with more than one Bullhorn account (enabled or disabled) were prompted for credentials. This fix only works in production environments.

The Placement Charge Request icon now appears in Bullhorn. Previously, the icon was missing from the Menu, Placement Change Request list, and add/edit pages.

- Select Update Saved Search to save your changes to the existing saved search.
- Select Create new Saved Search to create a new version of the search with the updated criteria.

Why does it matter?
This allows you to update existing saved searches effortlessly, so you can quickly refine and tailor your candidate search and fill jobs swiftly.
Search
Recent and Saved Searches
What’s new?
We’ve enhanced the Quick Search view for certain lists and added valuable data so you can quickly view the search criteria for your recent and saved searches.
Previously, recent searches didn’t clearly display the criteria used, and saved searches only displayed the title. Now with recent searches, you can easily determine the ideal criteria for your business needs and make necessary adjustments. With saved searches, you can easily see who owns the search and what criteria was used, without opening the search.
You can see these changes in the following lists:
- Payable Charges
- Billable Charges
- Invoices
- Timesheets
- Compliance Manager Dashboard
Why does it matter?
These enhancements allow you to quickly sort through your data and get the results you need to keep your business moving.

Advanced Search User Interface
What’s new?
The Advanced Search interface for selected lists has been updated with a new design. The previous “Save as Favorite” button has been renamed to “Save Search”, and the previous “Add Condition” option for adding entity field criteria has been renamed to “Add Filters”.
This update has been made to the following lists:
- Payable Charges
- Billable Charges
- Timesheets
- Invoices
- Compliance Manager Dashboard
- Why does it matter?
The new interface and clear labeling makes it easier to perform advanced searches using your defined criteria, so that you can quickly search for candidates in your database and get them to work.
Data Replication
Auto-Updating Version Available
What’s new?
An auto-updating version of Data Replication is now available.
Why does it matter?
This enhancement uses the Self-Updating JAR to auto-detect version changes and automatically install the latest version. This ensures your Data Replication environment always has the latest updates and fixes. Additionally, enhanced security measures are in place to ensure that only valid files are installed.
How do I enable this?
All Data Replication clients are encouraged to contact Bullhorn Support for this complimentary upgrade.
Credentialing
Display of Expired Credentials
What’s new?
When a Candidate’s Credential is expired, the Credential Status will be displayed as Expired in all areas of Compliance Manager, the Credentials tab of the Placement and Candidate record, and the Edit Credential Form. This status is only shown when the credential has expired and will revert to the original status once the expiration date is set to a future date. This only affects the display status seen in the ATS.
Why is this important?
By displaying that the Candidate’s Credential status has expired, Compliance specialists can take action to ensure the credential is updated where required.
How do I enable this?
Default for clients with Compliance Manager.
Copilot
Language Selection
What’s new?
We’ve added a Language button to the Copilot Generative Candidate Card. You can use this option to quickly translate your prompt response into one of the supported languages, with the default selection based on your Private Label’s locale Setting.
Why does it matter?
Previously, you would need to use a Custom Action to translate prompt responses into a language other than US English. The Language button makes it easy to translate your prompt responses quickly.
How do I enable this?
This update is applied by default to all clients with Copilot enabled and does not require any additional enablement. Speak to your Account Manager to learn more about enabling Copilot.
Copilot
Error Logs on Admin Page
What’s new?
We’ve enhanced the error logs on the Copilot Admin page to include which LLM field is causing an error when connecting to the selected LLM.
Why does it matter?
Clearer error messaging will make it easier for users to troubleshoot their Copilot configuration.
Compliance Manager
Dynamic Matching of Credential Requirements
What’s new?
A Credential Requirement added to a Job and carried over to a Placement as a Placement Requirement can now be dynamically matched with an existing Candidate Credential that is not expired and has one of the following Credential Statuses: Current, Complete, Verified, or Reviewed.
Why does it matter?
This saves a recruiter and compliance specialist time from manually matching a Candidate’s Credential Requirement and a Placement Requirement.
How do I enable this?
To enable this feature, please contact Support.

Release Changes Billing
User Billing Report
What’s new?
We’ve removed text from the User Billing Report that inaccurately defined a billable user.
Why does it matter?
Removing incorrect verbiage prevents billing confusion. For the latest definitions of billable users, please refer to the Running a User Report KB article.
Resolved Issues

All users with the Dashboards App Permission can now view data in Big and Small Data grid panels within Dashboards. Previously, users without the addition of the Slice & Dice App permission could not view these.
