Update to Multi-Account Pay Settings Form for Canadian Applicants

What’s new?

The multi-account pay settings form component has been enhanced to better accommodate Canadian applicants. A new required field for ‘Transit Number’ has been added, and the ‘Institution Number’ is now mandatory when the “I use a Canadian bank account” checkbox is selected. Both fields are subject to validation, with the Transit Number requiring five digits and the Institution Number requiring three digits. Furthermore, the form now respects the “Hide CA Account Checkbox” setting for field display, and external field mapping for Transit Number has been integrated into the ATS.

Why does it matter?

This update is significant as it ensures accurate handling of Canadian banking details during the direct deposit setup. By implementing these changes, we enhance the user experience for Canadian applicants, streamline the data collection process, and improve compliance with banking requirements. This ultimately leads to more efficient and reliable payment processing for users utilizing Canadian bank accounts.

Update Copilot Branding to AI Assistant

What’s new?

Copilot is being rebranded to “AI Assistant” in Bullhorn ATS. All previous Copilot menu items, buttons, and labels within the system have been renamed to AI Assistant.

  • The “Copilot Admin” menu has been renamed AI Assistant Admin.
  • The Copilot generative card has been renamed AI Assistant and has been rebranded with a new icon.
  • Configuration and error messaging will now refer to AI Assistant instead of Copilot.

Why does it matter?

When we chose the name “Copilot”, the primary focus of our AI strategy was on Generative AI-driven “assistant” capabilities—namely, a copilot. The name “Copilot” is used by many companies for generative AI assistants, so it made sense at the time to use industry terminology.

Now that we’ve expanded our AI strategy to encompass a lot more AI capability across a broader swath of categories and use cases, we’re rebranding Bullhorn Copilot as “AI Assistant,” which will sit within our umbrella “Bullhorn AI” category (along with AI Sourcing, AI Screening, and AI Submitting & Selling). The functionality is the same; we’re just aligning the name with our updated overall strategy.

Bullhorn Integration: Duplicate Fields in Bullhorn ATS Field Mapping

The ATS Field Mappings section has been updated to resolve an issue where duplicate field names appeared when selecting “Federal Tax Form” as the External Entity Type. Previously, this duplication caused confusion and hindered the accuracy of applicant property mapping. With this update, the field list now displays unique values, significantly improving clarity and ensuring that users can accurately map applicant properties without encountering redundant entries.

Candidate Experience – Basic Information: Home Phone Field Correction

We have resolved an issue where the Home Phone field on the Basic Information page was incorrectly requiring a country code, even when the “Disable International Phone Numbers” toggle was enabled in the Staging and Production environments. Previously, users encountered confusion and frustration as they were unable to submit their information without providing a country code, which should not have been necessary under the current settings. This fix ensures that the Home Phone field functions correctly, allowing users to enter their phone numbers without the need for a country code when the toggle is enabled.

I-9: Missing Checkbox for ‘Alternative Procedure Authorized by DHS’ on Form I-9 Supplement B PDF 

An issue has been resolved with the Form I-9 Supplement B, where the checkbox for ‘Alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents’ was not displaying in the final PDF.

With this fix, the checkbox now appears correctly in the PDF, ensuring that all necessary information is clearly presented and compliant with requirements.

I-9 Dashboard: I-9 Dashboard 2.0 Section 3 Link

The issue where clicking the Section 3 hyperlink from the I-9 Dashboard 2.0 opened the Section 1 document instead of the I-9 Supplement B has been resolved.

With this fix, users can now access the correct document as expected, improving the overall functionality and user experience of the I-9 Dashboard.

An issue where applicants encountered a 500 error upon clicking “Complete Application” after entering prescreening data has been resolved. Prescreening information is now correctly saved to the database when applicants complete their profiles.

Preliminary Information, Settings: Postal Code Validation Fix

We have resolved an issue where valid Canadian postal codes were incorrectly flagged as invalid when the “Enable Country Selection” configuration was turned off and Canada was selected as the applicant’s country. Previously, this misconfiguration led to confusion and errors in the application process, as users were unable to submit valid postal codes. The fix ensures that postal code validation now accurately aligns with the applicant’s country, branch location, and primary location, effectively preventing similar issues with U.S. ZIP codes as well. This improvement enhances the overall user experience by ensuring that valid postal codes are accepted correctly.

Custom Applicant Fields: Custom Field Data Sync

We resolved an issue where custom field data was not syncing from the ATS to Talent Platform during candidate creation or when using the “Sync to ATS” button in Talent Platform. Previously, this led to inconsistencies in data flow, causing frustration for users relying on accurate information. With this fix, custom fields now sync correctly to Talent Platform, ensuring consistent data flow and improving the overall user experience.

Email Unsubscribe: BH4SF Unsubscribe Event Fix

BH4SF customers utilizing Bullhorn Automation for email notifications with Contact records were experiencing issues where the unsubscribe event was not properly writing back to the record in BH4SF. Previously, when a contact unsubscribed from a message generated by Bullhorn Automation, their record in BHA and subscription status would be updated, but this change would not reflect in the Contact record in BH4SF. With this fix, whenever a contact unsubscribes, we now ensure that their record in Automation and subscription status are updated, and this information is also accurately written back to the Contact record in BH4SF, resolving the previous inconsistency.

Notifications: Notification Issue Resolved

We have resolved an issue where notifications were not being generated to the ‘Job Assigned Users’ value. Previously, when notifications were configured to send to the users marked in the Job Assigned field, those users were not receiving any email notifications.
