Resolved Issues
Agile1 – Workpuddle date formatting
Previously, an Agile1 Special Billing table was being captured and normalized as “reqDetails.additionalDetails”. The Special Billing table has now been moved from Req Details to Additional Details in the Position JSON.
Users can now access this VMS field in Rules, allowing them to copy values to an ATS Job field, use values to set ATS Job value, and use values to ignore position delivery.
Credentials: Fieldglass position and submittal handling
Previously, position delivery for Fieldglass credentials was failing. Now, VMS Sync uses a new URL for Fieldglass credentials, preventing Position delivery delay and ensuring that Submittals forms load correctly.
Generally available.
Health report: VMS functions failing
Various VMS functions were failing for VNDLY credentials, including the ability to change passwords. Credentials require valid passwords to process positions for delivery. VMS Sync’s change password feature now uses a new URL for VNDLY Credentials, resolving the issue.
Positions: Intellify missing address values
Previously, Intellify positions were missing address values when addresses were present on the requisition. Address values have been added to Intellify positions and display as expected on the Company Mapping dashboard. This change allows healthcare customers to route positions to the appropriate ATS Company.
Generally available.
Positions: Acro position delivery failing
Previously, position deliveries for Acro VMS were failing because of expired credentials. Handling for expired password messages has been added, so you can use Sync to update passwords for dedicated Acro VMS Credentials.
Generally available: Enable by setting the Login Credentials Dedicated to VMS Sync credential feature to Yes.
Positions: Missing Magnit positions
Previously, not all Magnit positions were being captured by the nightly position reconciliation process. Now, Magnit requisitions with any Status/Client value within the credential req list date range will be successfully processed. This change reduces delivery times, product swivel, and manual edits.
Generally available: Enabled by default.
Positions: Workpuddle date formatting
Previously, VMS Sync wouldn’t capture startDate and createdDate values from Workpuddle Reqs. The date format of createdDate and startDate has now been changed from YYYY-MM-DD to MM/DD/YYYY. This new formatting ensures VMS Sync recognizes values as valid.
Requisitions: Beeline all statuses except “Open” failing to process
Previously, all statuses except “Open” were failing to process. Now, getReqList returns reqs in any status that is:
- Within the default or configured date range
- Not just the open status
And getReq processes correct Position status:
- reqStatus corresponds with parsedStatus
- Positions posted to Beeline don’t throw “req has been removed, should be closed” error
VMS Sync
Einstein II API: Credentials
What’s new?
VMS Sync now supports Einstein II’s Order API for position delivery. Users can update existing Einstein II credentials or add new credentials with the API and Subscription Keys provided by Einstein II Support.
Note: While existing non-API logins are unaffected by this update, Einstein II strongly encourages all users to leverage their Order API to avoid risking account deactivation.
Why does it matter?
This change ensures that users retain position functionality with VMS Sync, improving their user experience.
How do I enable this?
Generally available: All Einsteinii Credentials now display API Key and Subscription Key fields. Users with Einstein II logins can contact Einstein II Support to set up an Order API.
Requisition
Simpliant ReqID update
What’s new?
The ReqID in VMS Sync has been updated to match the Job ID in the Simpliant VMS UI.
Why does it matter?
The matching ReqIDs are substantially smaller than before, making them easier to view and cross-reference.
How do I enable this?
Generally available.
Parsing
iCims new field parsing
What’s new?
VMS Sync now parses the following fields for iCims positions:
- ER Business Region
- UK Project
- Hire Type
Why does it matter?
Parsing as many VMS fields as possible reduces the need for end users to swivel between VMS and ATS to manually correct job data.
How do I enable this?
Generally available: Enabled by default.
Credentials
Aya/Lotus connect and LotusOne credential changes
What’s new?
The following enhancements have been made to Aya/Lotus Connect and LotusOne credentials:
- Two new fields have been added, including:
- Login URL (required)
- API URL (optional)
- All credentials have been updated with the following values:
- Login URL = https://app.lotusone.com
- API URL = https://api.ayahealthcare.com
- Email notifications are now processed via notifications@LotusOne.com.
Why does it matter?
This change supports major upgrades to Aya/Lotus Connect and the LotusOne VMS, allowing VMS Sync to continue processing reqs for ATS delivery.
How do I enable this?
Generally available: Enabled by default.
Company Mapping
Auto linking inaccuracies
What’s new?
A new account feature, Company Fuzzy Auto Link, has been added to improve company mapping auto-linking. When enabled, VMS Sync will attempt to auto-link a VMS company to an ATS company with the Zip Code and Google Place ID values provided by the VMS. When disabled, Sync attempts to auto-link based on exact and abbreviated Locations or exact Google Formatted Addresses.
Why does it matter?
These auto-linking updates improve the accuracy and frequency of auto-linking and reduce the number of jobs blocked for delivery.
How do I enable this?
Generally available: All existing accounts with Company Mapping enabled will have Company Fuzzy Auto Link enabled by default. Reach out to VMS Sync Support to disable this functionality.

REST API: Corporate User Delegates
What’s new?
If you’re an administrator user with Add Corporate User and Edit Corporate User entitlements, you can now add delegates to a corporate user via the REST API.
Why does it matter?
The new feature allows delegates to communicate with candidates from a User account rather than their own to ensure certain business purposes run more smoothly and efficiently.
How do I enable this?
If you do not have access to REST API and do not have the Add Corporate User and Edit Corporate User entitlements, reach out to Bullhorn Support to request enablement.

Applicant records: Duplicate SSN error message displaying missing applicant IDs
For ATS customers using the duplicate SSN check, the error message now includes the ATS IDs of duplicate Applicant records when attempting to save a record with a duplicate SSN. This enhancement provides users with the details they need to quickly identify and resolve conflicts directly from the error message.

Resolved Issues
Chatbot functionality: Chatbot close button overlay issue resolved on mobile devices
The chatbot close button no longer overlays the Submit button on mobile devices, ensuring users can easily submit responses to multi-choice and free text question types.

Multi Account Pay Settings
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.

AI Assistant
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

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.

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.

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.
Resolved Issues
Candidate Experience: Redirect URL
An issue previously caused candidates to not be redirected to the designated URL upon completing their onboarding when it was set to automatically complete. This issue has now been resolved.

The URL configuration for this feature is located under the Intro & Instructions tab.
Recruiter Experience: I-9 Supplement B Document Selection

Resolved Issues
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. With this fix, we will now properly generate email notifications to the users designated in the Job Assigned field whenever notifications are configured.
Resolved Issues
Mass Action: Advanced Search Filters and Mass Action Select on Billable Charge and Payable Charge Lists

We resolved an issue where the picker was not selectable when the app.bullhornstaffing.com cookie was not cleared. You can now select the picker to add a Candidate Credential Requirement at any time.
Custom Cards: Custom Card Max Height URL Parameter Respected
We resolved an issue where a custom card’s max height, seen on a record’s Overview tab, was defaulting to a height of 500px instead of the value added within the URL. Our systems now respect the height.

Resolved Issues
Company Mapping: Duplicate VMS Companies
Previously, duplicate VMS Company results displayed to front-end users, preventing Positions from auto-linking. Sync’s Company Mapping has been enhanced to include abbreviations and full names. This increases the likelihood of auto-linking and prevents duplicate VMS Company results. Accurate VMS Company data is essential to link Positions to the correct ATS Company.
Credential: Email Tab Links Now Clickable
An issue with links in the Credential Email tab has been resolved. Links weren’t clickable and extended over the table boundary. Links are now clickable and respect the table boundary.
Parsing: SimpleVMS V2 – Company Name Parsing
Previously, VMS Sync parsed Company Name from SimpleVMS V2 Team Name. VMS Sync now parses Company Name from Buyer Name and uses Team Name only when Buyer Name is blank. This improves the accuracy of Company Name and increases ease of use for Company Mapping users.
Positions: Acro Status Update
Positions removed from Acro weren’t generating a Closed VMS Status. VMS Sync now automatically changes the Status of any position removed from Acro to Closed. This ensures inactive positions are categorized appropriately in the ATS, and users are notified of the change.
Status updates are a core function of VMS Sync, as candidates can only be submitted to positions in a submittable state. This state is usually Open and with a non-zero Opening Count.
Positions: Flexforce Timeout Error
Previously, Flexforce Positions were failing to process due to timeout errors. VMS Sync now uses Flexforce’s universal search to locate positions and quickly retrieve them for delivery.
Positions: Vector Bill Rate Max Parsing
Previously, the Bill Rate Max value in VMS Sync didn’t match the Bill Rate High value in Vector VMS. VMS Sync now uses the front-end value instead of the hidden Not To Exceed Rate value, and Sync/VMS rate values match as expected.
Requisitions: Shiftrock V2 Some Reqs Failing to Close
An issue has been resolved where positions remained open within Bullhorn ATS / VMS Sync when closed in the Shiftrock UI.
Submittals: Beeline Missing Values
An issue has been resolved with Beeline submittals. Previously, values in the VMS weren’t displayed on the Submit to VMS form. All values in Beeline are now available in Bullhorn when submitting a candidate.
Submittals: Beeline Submittals Missing Values for “Candidate Location”
The Candidate Location field on the Beeline Submittal form was missing values, which prevented customers from completing end-to-end submissions. This has been resolved.
Positions: Fieldglass EU (Siemens) Field Parsing
Previously, some fields were failing to parse for Siemens Fieldglass EU Positions. VMS Sync now uses the full requisition link to process positions, ensuring all fields are parsed as expected.
Submittals: Fieldglass Submittals Date Fields
Previously, the VMS Submittal form displayed duplicate date fields. Sync now displays only one set of date fields for each required certification and licensing credential.

Channel Manager | Buyer Details – Coordinator First Name and Last Name | Company Contact |
Why does it matter?

VMS Sync Admin Tools users with rule writing access can now reference these fields in rules for Elevated Systems Credentials. Users without rule write access can contact VMS Sync Support with rule creation or modification requests.
Parsing
Medical Parsing Updates
What’s new?
Updates have been made to VMS Sync’s medical parsing logic. Keywords were added to the following med types:

Mapping
Use ATS Company with Bypass Company Mapping
What’s new?
By enabling Bypass Company Mapping on a credential, Company Mapping users with Locations enabled can now deliver unlinked positions to the ATS under a default ATS Location. Users with Worksites enabled can now deliver these Positions with a blank location by enabling Use ATS Company. When enabled, VMS Sync delivers unlinked positions to the ATS Company associated with the ATS Location selected on the Credential but will “unset” the ATS Location before creating/updating the Position in the ATS.
Why does it matter?
This functionality was requested by customers who must keep ATS Location blank unless linked via Company Mapping. The functionality also increases data accuracy on positions.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: Users with the following settings enabled can reach out to VMS Sync Support to enable Use ATS Company on a per-credential basis:
- Company Mapping
- Use Worksites
- Bypass Company Mapping
Mapping
Company Mapping Bypass Feature
What’s new?
Company Mapping users can now select credentials to bypass Company Mapping. When this feature is enabled, positions without a Company Mapping link will deliver to the default ATS Company listed on the credential instead of being blocked for delivery.
Once a Company Mapping link is created for the position’s location, the positions will be delivered to the linked ATS Company when VMS Sync reprocesses the position.
Why does it matter?
The ability to bypass Company Mapping allows users to immediately work on positions within their ATS. For users with locations enabled, it allows them to assign locations to a high volume of results without blocking jobs. This avoids requisition delays.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: Company Mapping users interested in enabling this credential feature can reach out to VMS Sync Support.

Search
Change Advanced Search Reset & Clear functionality on the Compliance Manager List
What’s new?
We’ve replaced the Advanced Search RESET button on the Compliance Manager list with a CLEAR ALL button. Clicking CLEAR ALL will close the Advanced Search window, remove all current search criteria, and reset the list to its default state.
We’ve also added a new RESET VALUES option to the Advanced Search. Clicking RESET VALUES will clear all criteria values from fields you’ve added to your search, but will keep your selected fields ready for you to add new criteria.
Why does it matter?
These enhancements make it easier to quickly amend your search criteria or begin a new search from scratch.
Data Replication
Automatic Restart on Inactivity
What’s new?
We’ve added an automatic restart feature to Data Replication, which monitors for inactivity and restarts the system when needed. This update significantly reduces the risk of extended periods of inactivity in data replication processes, ensuring more consistent and reliable operation.
A new configuration option lets users set how long the system can be inactive before it automatically restarts. This includes the following changes:
- New option in the application.properties file to set the inactivity threshold before restart
- Monitoring system that checks for getdata call logs in the Data-mirror log file
- Automatic restart of the dm application from the launcher if no logs have been added within the specified time frame
Note: This feature is only available for installations using the self-updating JAR file.
Configuration
A new configuration option has been added to application.properties:
- inactivity.threshold.minutes: Sets the number of minutes of no activity before the application restarts
- Default value: 10 minutes
Why does it matter?
This feature improves the reliability of Data Replication by preventing unplanned processing stops. It minimizes disruptions and ensures smoother operations, benefiting users who rely on consistent data processing. We can now proactively address issues without waiting for alerts, reducing downtime and enhancing system performance.
Resolved Issues
Administrator Experience: EffectiveEndDate Process No Longer Deletes eRecruit Documents
Previously, the EffectiveEndDate process could delete documents even if they had been used by eRecruit, leading to errors in the integration. This issue has been resolved, and the process will now only deactivate the document rather than delete it, ensuring smoother integration and preventing document-related errors.
Candidate Experience: Candidate Document Restart Now Retains Previously Populated Data
We resolved an issue where, after an HR user selected ‘Restart,’ the document fields appeared blank instead of showing the previously populated data, making the ‘Restart’ function behave like ‘Replace.’ When an HR user selects ‘Restart,’ the candidate will see the previously completed document with all fields retained, allowing them to make edits without starting from scratch.
Custom Attributes: Pay Rate Display
We resolved an issue where pay rates set as custom attributes in Onboarding365 were not properly truncated to two decimal places, leading to inconsistencies in the display format. Pay rates will now be consistently displayed in the standard currency format across all onboarding details and documents, ensuring uniformity for recruiters when reviewing pay information.
Recruiter Experience
At Risk Email Configuration
What’s new?
At-risk emails, previously limited to Contractor onboarding types, now support Pre-Hire Screening based on the projected start date. This update introduces a new “Pre-Hire Screening At Risk” email configuration in agency settings, which will default to off. Recruiters can access and customize the email templates for both Onboarding and Pre-Hire Screening At Risk emails via the Email Templates tab under Agency Settings.
Why does it matter?
This enhancement gives recruiters more control and visibility over potential onboarding risks by extending the at-risk alerts to pre-hire screenings. By enabling this feature, recruiters are better equipped to address issues proactively, ensuring a smoother onboarding process and reducing potential delays.
Administrator Experience
Personal Data Checkbox Added to Field Configuration
What’s new?
A new “Is Personal Data” checkbox has been added to the Field Configuration page. This feature allows Agency Administrators to easily mark fields as containing personal data.
Why does it matter?
This enhancement enables administrators to quickly hide sensitive information from unauthorized users, improving data security and privacy. By allowing this functionality directly within the Field Configuration page, it reduces the need for support requests or DBA involvement, streamlining the process and giving administrators more control.
Administrator Experience
Skip Flowback for I-9 Supporting Documentation
What’s new?
A new Private Label Attribute (PLA) called onboarding365DisableI9FileAttachments has been added to Bullhorn ATS. When enabled, this PLA will filter out I-9 family document attachments such as I-9 Worksheets, Receipts, Section 3, and more. This prevents them from flowing back to Bullhorn ATS from Onboarding365. By default, this PLA is set to False (disabled), meaning there will be no change to the current flowback of I-9 supporting documents unless manually enabled.
Why does it matter?
This feature gives administrators greater control over the flow of sensitive I-9 documentation, allowing them to manage where these documents are stored. For teams that prefer to keep I-9 supporting documents within Onboarding365, enabling this PLA enhances document privacy and reduces unnecessary data clutter in Bullhorn ATS.
Resolved Issues

Change Advanced Search Reset & Clear Functionality on Pay & Bill Novo Lists
What’s new?
We’ve replaced the Advanced Search RESET button on Novo Lists with a CLEAR ALL button. Clicking CLEAR ALL will close the Advanced Search window, remove all current search criteria, and reset the list to its default state.
We’ve also added a new RESET VALUES option to the Advanced Search. Clicking RESET VALUES will clear all criteria values from fields you’ve added to your search but will keep your selected fields ready for you to add new criteria.

CRF Entry Available on Manual Billable Charges
What’s new?

How do I enable this?
Generally Available: Enabled by default.
Resolved Issues

We resolved an issue where applicants with international phone numbers were not receiving their SMS notifications. This update ensures proper storage and formatting of phone numbers within the Talent Platform, improving communication processes and ensuring all applicants receive their notifications as expected.
E-Signature: ‘Add Representative Later’ Display Correction
We resolved an issue where the ‘Add Representative Later’ option for multi-signers on forms (excluding I-9s) incorrectly displayed ‘ES Temporary Signer’ instead of the representative’s name. The correct name now appears, avoiding delays and re-signing.
E-Verify: Intermittent E-Verify Error Message Displayed Despite Valid Reason for Delay Code Selection
We resolved an intermittent issue where the reason for delay error message appeared despite a valid reason for the delay code being selected. This impacted various codes but did not affect auto-order cases or cases created by automations.
Form I-9: Authorized Representative SMS Notification for Form I-9
We resolved an issue in both Staging and Production where the “Proceed to Section 2” button was unresponsive when an Authorized Representative received an SMS notification. This fix now ensures proper navigation to Section 2, allowing Authorized Representatives to complete their tasks without issues.
Order Workflow: Incorrect Splitting of Forms in Packages
We resolved an issue where forms resent from a single package were incorrectly split into multiple packages when “Enable Re-Use of Signed Forms in Packages” was enabled. Forms are now correctly grouped into a single custom package based on expiration dates.
Work History: Multi-Check Field Behavior in Applicant Portal
We resolved an issue where multi-check fields (datatype_id = 19) were not behaving consistently in the Applicant portal. Previously, when applicants edited an existing Work History entry, the values in the multi-check field were not automatically re-checked, but now they are correctly retained and displayed, preventing the field from being saved as null.
Recruiter Experience
Onboarding Dashboard: Enhanced Navigation and Features Now Available by Default
What’s new?
The Onboarding Dashboard is now enabled by default for all users, offering a more streamlined experience.

Multi-Account Pay Settings Update for Canadian Applicants
What’s new?
The multi-account pay settings form component now includes a required ‘Transit Number’ field and makes the ‘Institution Number’ mandatory when the “I use a Canadian bank account” checkbox is selected. Both fields are validated and should require the following criteria:

By addressing the previous issues, we aim to enhance the overall user experience and provide a more seamless and reliable service to our customers.
Talent Platform
Improved Error Notifications for Packages with Field-Tag Matching
What’s new?
Bullhorn Automation has enhanced error notifications for automations involving Talent Platform. If an automation step configured with Packages using Field-Tag Matching encounters an error, detailed notifications will now be sent, providing more visibility and helping onboarding specialists troubleshoot issues independently.
How It Works:
- When an error occurs, notifications will now include the candidate’s ATS ID, candidate name, and a reference to Talent Platform.
- In cases where the field used for Packages with Field-Tag Matching is null, a new error message will be triggered:
“A request to Talent Platform for [atsID] [FirstName] in the automation [automationName] failed due to the candidate having a null value for Field-Tag matching.” - The Bullhorn Automation logo will replace the previous branding for a more cohesive experience.
Why does it matter?
These improvements give users clearer and more actionable error messages, helping them resolve issues faster and reducing the need for support intervention. The enhancements ensure that even when automations continue despite errors, relevant information is still flagged for attention.
Talent Platform
Dynamic Talent Platform Form and Package Assignment with Field-Tag Matching
What’s new?
Bullhorn Automation, in collaboration with the Talent Platform, now supports dynamic assignment of forms and packages using field-tag matching. This feature automatically assigns forms and packages based on specific candidate data, enhancing workflow efficiency and accuracy.
How It Works:
- Bullhorn Automation extracts relevant field values from a candidate’s profile.
- These values are sent to the Talent Platform, which identifies the correct form or package ID based on pre-configured tags.
- The appropriate forms or packages are then dynamically assigned to the candidate.
Why does it matter?
This new feature removes the need for multiple automations based on candidate variables like tax state, ensuring that the correct documents are always sent. By matching forms and packages dynamically, the process is streamlined, more accurate, and easier to maintain.
Logic
Improved Time Zone Accuracy Based on Zip Code, State, and Country Data
What’s new?
Automation now determines a contact’s time zone by prioritizing the Zip/Postal Code. If the Zip/Postal Code is missing or invalid, it returns to the State. Additionally, the system checks the contact’s country to ensure accuracy when matching states with shared names across different countries (e.g., Victoria in Australia and New Zealand). If both the Zip/Postal Code and State are missing or invalid, the time zone defaults to the customer’s configured time zone in their account settings.
Why does it matter?
Previously, if both the Zip/Postal Code and State were missing, automation would select the time zone based only on the country, which caused issues in countries with multiple time zones. The new process ensures more accurate time zone assignments and reduces errors caused by incomplete or invalid location data.
Lists
Default List Duplication Disabled When Copying Automations
What’s new?
When copying an automation, the option to copy the associated list will now default to unchecked.
Why does it matter?
Previously, the checkbox to copy the associated list was defaulted to checked, leading to unnecessary list duplications and reprocessing for many users who didn’t need to copy the list. By changing the default setting to unchecked, users are less likely to unintentionally duplicate lists, resulting in smoother automation management and fewer processing issues.
Integrations
Pause Automation and Display Alert after Repeated Async Step Failures
What’s new?
Bullhorn Automation will now auto-pause an automation if a Webhook or AI Assistant step encounters a large number of consecutive failures when making requests to partner integrations. Users will be notified via email, and a new status will appear in the automation menu. Additionally, when accessing the automation in the app, a banner will display explaining why the automation was paused.
Why does it matter?
Previously, if a step interacting with a partner integration failed repeatedly, users had limited visibility into the issue. This update improves the user experience by clearly communicating when automations are paused due to integration issues. With better visibility via email notifications, status updates, and in-app banners, users can quickly identify the problem and take corrective action, reducing downtime and improving automation reliability.
BH4SF
Integration Update for BH4SF Customers
What’s new?
We have enhanced our integration with BH4SF to now support Category values that are separated by either commas or semicolons. Previously, the Category field only supported values separated by commas (e.g., Red, Blue, Orange), but with this update, it now also supports semicolons (e.g., Red; Blue; Orange). This improvement ensures greater flexibility for customers when working with their Category data.
Why does it matter?
This update resolves the previous limitations customers faced when using semicolons to separate values in the Category field. By supporting both comma- and semicolon-separated values, we’ve made it easier to sync and write back Category data to BH4SF instances. This enhancement provides a more seamless and efficient integration experience, reducing data formatting issues for BH4SF customers.
Metrics Admin
Advanced Metric Editing for Enterprise Customers
What’s new?
Customers now have the ability to create and modify metrics themselves. This new feature allows users to:
- Create a new metric by duplicating or combining it with an existing one
- Edit various elements such as Metric Name, Timeframe, Date, and Ownership
- Apply and edit filters
- Hide and show metrics, test metrics, and view issues
For combined metrics, clients can see which fields are inherited from the parent metric and have the option to unlock and edit them if necessary.
Note: The UI has been updated to separate metric ordering from the configuration and group metrics by entity to make it easier for you to navigate.
See Advanced Metric Editing and Advanced Metric Editing Best Practices for more details.
Why does it matter?
Previously, Enterprise customers had to contact Bullhorn Support or Professional Services to create or edit their metrics. This will reduce the time and effort needed to support and implement customers.
How do I enable this?
The feature is enabled by default for all Enterprise customers.
Resolved Issues

Internationalization
Consistent Date Format for Dropbox Sign Fields
What’s new?
The date format configured at the location level is now consistently applied to all date fields sent to Dropbox Sign, except Form I-9, which will always use MM/DD/YYYY. The date format follows this priority hierarchy:
- Form-specific Location
- Candidate’s Branch Location
- Customer’s Primary Location
- MM/DD/YYYY (default)
Why does it matter?
This update ensures that dates are accurately and consistently represented for candidates and reviewers during onboarding. By following the specified hierarchy, the system provides the most relevant date format based on the location settings, reducing the risk of errors and confusion.
Recruiter Experience
Additional Supported Countries for Internationalization
What’s new?

It ensures that the platform continues to meet the needs of a global user base, improving accuracy and user experience in these regions.
Production Release: August 8
Resolved Issues
Account: Ignore Unchanged Fields Not Respected for to Many Association Fields
Previously, Bullhorn ATS fields with a multi-select edit type weren’t respected by VMS Sync’s Ignore Unchanged Fields account setting. This caused user edits to fields marked as “do not touch.” VMS Sync no longer edits these ATS field types when Ignore Unchanged Fields is enabled.
Controlling which ATS fields VMS Sync can edit ensures manually-entered ATS data is preserved, preventing manual rework.
Credentials: Healthtrust Position Failure When VMS Raw Data is Enabled
Previously, enabling VMS Raw Data on Healthtrust credentials caused positions to generate an ATS Save Fail report. Healthtrust field handling has been updated, and positions now process as expected with this Credential setting enabled.
VMS Raw Data displays additional fields on the Position JSON that users can reference in rules to populate ATS Job fields. Timely position delivery helps submit candidates to positions as quickly as possible.
Positions: Blank Vector Agency Interview Type
Previously, some Vector positions parsed a blank Agency Interview Type value when a value was present in the VMS. We have updated how these values are parsed to account for field label differences in the VMS. This ensures VMS Sync successfully parses an Agency Interview Type value for all Vector Positions with a value in the VMS.
The Agency Interview Type indicates how the hiring manager will conduct the Candidate interview (virtual, phone, email, etc.). Accurate field parsing reduces product swivel and manual edits.
Positions: Magnit Position Failure with Attachments Enabled
Previously, some positions were failing to process when Credential Feature Position Attachments was enabled. VMS Sync now successfully parses all Magnit Positions (with and without attachments) with the Position Attachments Credential Feature enabled.
VMS attachments commonly contain additional job details not found on the VMS Position posting. Both Position and attachment delivery are important to reduce req delay and improve ATS Job accuracy.
Positions: Magnit Position Type
Previously, some Positions parsed a blank Position Type value when a valid Type value was present in the VMS. We have updated how Magnit Type values are parsed to account for back-end data formatting differences in the VMS. This ensures VMS Sync successfully parses a Position Type value for all Magnit Positions with a valid Type value in the VMS.
Position Type is commonly used to set ATS Employment Type, which can determine the fields and values available on an ATS Job. Accurate Position Type parsing is important for data accuracy and manual edit reduction.
Positions: Magnit Supervisor Parsing
Previously, VMS Sync was parsing Manager as a long string of text for some positions, resulting in delivery failure. VMS Sync now correctly splits Magnit’s Manager value into Supervisor First Name and Supervisor Last Name components. VMS Sync also now parses Manager from Magnit’s Duties field when Manager is blank in the VMS.
Magnit uses Manager to indicate the main point of contact for a Position. Many Customers use Supervisor First and Last Name to look up and assign ATS Company Contact to Jobs.
Positions: Staffbot Status Update
Positions removed from Staffbot weren’t generating a Closed VMS Status. VMS Sync now automatically changes the Status of any Position removed from Staffbot to Closed. This ensures inactive positions are categorized appropriately in the ATS and users are notified of the change appropriately.
Status updates are a core function of VMS Sync, as candidates can only be submitted to positions in a submittable state (usually Open and with a non-zero Opening Count).
Submittals: CKEditor Error
A red security warning message would briefly display in the Comment field of the Submit to VMS form. We have updated our CKEditor version and added styling to hide this message.
Submittals: Healthtrust Match Candidate Owner Auto-population
An issue was resolved with Healthtrust Submittals. Previously, Candidate Owner and Match Candidate Owner were not auto-populating on the Submit to VMS form. Healthtrust submissions made from the ATS also displayed the Match Candidate Owner as the VMS Sync API user. VMS Sync now pre-populates the Match Candidate Owner based on the following logic:
- Match Candidate Owner = User making the submission
- If the submitting user isn’t a valid Healthtrust user, Match Candidate Owner = Candidate Owner
- If Candidate Owner isn’t a valid Healthtrust user, Match Candidate Owner = blank
When Match Candidate Owner is submitted to Healthtrust as blank, VMS Sync populates Match Candidate Owner with the value of the Healthtrust Candidate Owner on the Healthtrust submission. If no Candidate Owner exists for the Candidate in Healthtrust, VMS Sync populates the VMS Sync API user.
VMS Sync pre-populates Healthtrust Candidate Owner based on the following logic:
- New Healthtrust Candidates – Candidate Owner = User making the submission
- Healthtrust Candidates – Candidate Owner = blank
When Candidate Owner is submitted to Healthtrust as blank, VMS Sync won’t pre-populate a value. Candidate Owner will remain blank. This ensures VMS Sync doesn’t override any values left intentionally blank by Healthtrust users.
Pre-population increases the speed of the Candidate submission process and reduces the end-user swivel between records and products.
Submittals
Healthtrust Withdraw Reason/Additional Note Parsing
What’s new?
VMS Sync Submittals now parses Withdraw Reason and Additional Note values into the ATS as a Note when candidates are rejected from Healthtrust matches.
Why does it matter?
A majority of Healthtrust Submittal users requested these values. They use this information for tracking and resubmission purposes.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: All Healthtrust Credentials with Submittals enabled are affected by this update

Rules
Export Enhancements
What’s new?
Users can now export rules from the Account or Rules page in VMS Sync. The rule export is available in JSON or CSV format and includes OR group conditions.
Why does it matter?
The rule export includes all customer rules (account and credential-level) and is used to review the current configuration for external reference and future updates.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: Users with View Rules permissions can export rules from the Account or Rules page in VMS Sync.
Positions
SmartTrack “MSP Point of Contact” Field Parsing Request
What’s new?
VMS Sync now parses MSP Point of Contact from SmartTrack VMS Positions. This value shows on the VMS Sync Position Details screen as Coordinator First Name and Coordinator Last Name under the Buyer Details section.
Why does it matter?
SmartTrack uses MSP Point of Contact to indicate the main point of contact for a position. Many Customers use Coordinator First and Last Name to lookup and assign ATS Company Contact to Jobs.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: MSP Point of Contact is now available under Buyer Details Coordinator First and Last Name for all SmartTrack Positions.
Positions
Process Bill Rate Changes
What’s new?
Healthtrust doesn’t notify users when Position Bill Rate changes, so customers would report missing these updates in the ATS. VMS Sync now queries Bill Rate values when performing nightly batch Healthtrust position updates.
Why does it matter?
This change minimizes delays and ensures any changes to Bill Rate are processed as expected.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: All Healthtrust Credentials are affected by this update

VMS Sync now integrates with Bridge VMS for position delivery. Bridge services include workforces, MSPs, and staffing firms with positions in Healthcare, IT, Pharmaceuticals, Engineering, Construction, Facilities Management, and Hospitality.
Why does it matter?
VMS integrations automate ATS Job delivery and user notifications, reducing manual data entry and streamlining business processes.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: Any user with Bridge API credentials and the ability to add Credentials to VMS Sync Admin Tools can now integrate with this VMS.
Credentials
View Recent Emails in Sync
What’s new?
Users can now access their Credential Email inbox from within VMS Sync. An Email tab has been added to the Credential Details page. The Email tab contains the following:
- Recent emails with clickable links
- Entity links to quickly navigate to related VMS Sync Positions
- Search filters to narrow results down by status, sender, recipient, contents, and date range
Why does it matter?
Previously, only VMS Sync Support had access to Credential Email inboxes. Granting front-end access to credential emails enables users to fully self-service new credential setups without needing to submit a Support ticket to activate a login or retrieve a password reset link or multi-factor authentication code.
Email tab access also lets users troubleshoot position delivery, as a common cause of delay is a lack of email notifications received in the Credential Email inbox.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: All VMS Sync Credentials now display an Email tab. All User Roles have permission to view this tab.
Time and Labor
Sort Rules Added to Placement in Priority Order
What’s new?

Candidate Experience: French Translations
An issue where French translations were missing in the Work History and Education History sections and validation error messages presented to talent has been resolved. These areas are now correctly translated for French-speaking users.
Candidate Experience: Tax Forms
An issue where the Iowa Withholding Form text was truncated on mobile devices has been resolved. The form now displays the full text, matching the experience on larger screens.
Resolved Issues
ATS: Phone Number Sync from ATS
We have resolved an issue where phone numbers starting with a 0 were not recognized when syncing from the Bullhorn ATS. This primarily affected our non-US-based customers, where leading 0s are often included due to country codes and specific formatting requirements. Now, phone numbers with leading 0s are correctly synced into Bullhorn Automation, with the leading 0 maintained to ensure accuracy and consistency.
Dashboard: Contractors Tab on Dashboard
An issue where the Contractors tab on the Home Dashboard page would throw a generic error and fail to load has been resolved. The tab now loads quickly and returns accurate metrics based on customer contract activity.
Steps: Update Steps with ‘Copy From’
An issue where Update Record steps would fail when configured to copy a value from a field with a NULL entry has been resolved. These steps now function correctly, even when the source field is empty.
Validation: Automation Date Validation
An issue where automations could not be enabled after editing, due to invalid date validation for end dates following a wait step, has been resolved. Automations can now be successfully enabled after edits, ensuring proper date validation.
Validation: Update Credential Step Validation
With this release, the ‘Update Credential’ step now validates manually entered credentials to ensure they exist in the customer instance. Previously, manually entered invalid credential values were accepted, causing records to fail through the step. Now, if an invalid credential is manually entered, the value is cleared during the ‘Save Step’ process, preventing errors and ensuring data integrity.
Semantic Match
Semantic Match Service
What’s new?
We have enhanced our semantic match service by adding a dynamic check that prevents emails from being generated if a candidate has no job matches.
Why does it matter?
This improvement ensures that candidates no longer receive emails with no job suggestions, enhancing the relevance and quality of communications. By eliminating these misleading emails, we improve the candidate experience and maintain the integrity of job match suggestions for our customers.
Leads

Note: This includes mobile app logins. A client using an SSO provider cannot be configured to use this feature.
Why does it matter?
This added security measure enhances protection for clients who rely on Bullhorn’s login as the only method for accessing our products. Clients can reduce the risk of unauthorized access, providing greater peace of mind for those handling sensitive information.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: Clients can choose to opt in via a corporation setting, and enforce this feature on all associated users. Once activated, users will be prompted to enter an email-delivered access code in addition to their usual login credentials.
General Notice

Metrics
Standard Jobs with Multiple Interview (JMI) metrics are now available in Analytics
What’s new?
Nine new metrics and five new ratios providing insights into Jobs with Multiple Interviews (JMI) are now available in Bullhorn Analytics:
Metrics
- Jobs With 1 Interview: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had one 1st Interview
- Jobs With 2 Interviews: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had two 1st Interviews
- Jobs With 3+ Interviews: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had three or more 1st Interviews
- Jobs With 1 Interview – Placed: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had one 1st Interview and resulted in a Placement
- Jobs With 2 Interviews – Placed: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had two 1st Interviews and resulted in a Placement
- Jobs With 3+ Interviews – Placed: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had three or more 1st Interviews and resulted in a Placement
- Jobs With Interviews: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had at least one 1st Interview
- Jobs With Multiple Interviews: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had multiple 1st Interviews
- Jobs With Multiple Interviews – Placed: The total number of Jobs added in the timeframe that had multiple 1st Interviews and resulted in a Placement
Ratios ( Value of one metric divided by another)
- Jobs with Multiple Interviews : 1 Interview Fill Rate = True fill/conversion rate for jobs which got 1 interview
- Jobs with Multiple Interviews : 2 Interview Fill Rate = True fill/conversion rate for jobs which got 2 interviews
- Jobs with Multiple Interviews : 3 Interview Fill Rate = True fill/conversion rate for jobs which got 3 interviews
- Jobs with Multiple Interviews : Multiple Interview Fill Rate = True fill/conversion rate for jobs which got 2 or more interviews, used in case the 1-2-3 isn’t clear-cut
- Jobs with Multiple Interviews : % Jobs With Multiple Interviews = Proportion of interviewing jobs that got multiple interviews, to trend how many jobs reach the ideal status of having multiple interviews.
Why does it matter?
Bullhorn ATS data analysis shows that jobs with multiple interviews fill at a higher rate than those with just one, and almost 50% of jobs only get one interview. By providing these metrics as standard, recruiters gain valuable insight into varying fill rates and the proportion of job interviews, helping them improve job fill rates.
How do I enable this?
New Enterprise Edition users will automatically have these metrics included in their standard metric rollout. Existing Enterprise Edition customers can request these new metrics by contacting Bullhorn Support.
Resolved Issues
Appointments: External Appointments Tracking
External outbound appointment invites will now be tracked and created in Bullhorn. Previously, when creating external outbound appointment invites, the appointments were not tracked or created in Bullhorn.
Canvas: Update Canvas Banner Display when Canvas is Up-to-date
The Update Canvas banner will now only display if Canvas is not up-to-date. Previously, this banner would continue to display even after the update was completed.
Emails: Company Data Display When Forwarding Jobs
When forwarding multiple jobs within Bullhorn, the email body displays the correct company data. Previously, when forwarding multiple jobs, the company details in the email body did not match the associated job records.
REST API: isWorkFromHome on JobOrder and Placement Entity References
The Bullhorn API documentation has been updated to add the isWorkFromHome field to the JobOrder and Placement entity references. Previously, isWorkFromHome was missing from the list of available fields for the JobOrder and Placement entities.
Shifts: Shifts on Shift Assignment Placement Card Due to Timezones
The Shift Assignment Placement Cards on Shift Scheduler will now adjust to the correct time zone based on the job location.
Previously, shifts did not appear correctly for jobs in the Pacific time zone.
Resolved Issues
Email: Accurate Total Sent Counts on Automation Metrics Page
An issue was resolved where the total sent counts on the Automation Metrics page did not accurately reflect the total number of emails sent from an automation if a mailable record went through the automation multiple times. This has been fixed to ensure the total sent counts now accurately represent all emails sent, regardless of how many times a record is processed.
Email: Email Steps Progression with Custom “Manage Your Preferences” URL
An issue was resolved where records were not progressing through email steps when clients manually added the custom “Manage your preferences” URL to their emails. This fix ensures that records now advance correctly through email steps, even with the custom URL included.
Email: Improved Time Zone Calculation for Email and SMS Delivery
We fixed an issue with our time zone calculation based on Zip & City/State values when the address1 field is empty. The fields will now be checked in this order:
- Check address1.
- If address1 is blank, check the zip field.
- If the zip field is blank, check the fields city and state.
- If all the fields are blank, it will default to the customer time zone setting.
Previously, contacts received emails and SMS messages outside their desired contact window. For example, contacts in the GST time zone were receiving emails at midnight because they defaulted to the customer time zone of ETS. Even though they had a valid zip code on their record, there was no value in the address field. This fix ensures that communications are sent at appropriate times based on the recipient’s correct time zone.
Performance
Faster List Updates with Dynamic Logic
What’s new?
Bullhorn has optimized list matching and introduced dynamic logic to intelligently process data changes from the ATS based on the volume of changes received per entity. This enhancement significantly improves the speed of list updates.
Why does it matter?
The system will now sync entities in parallel when mass updates are received simultaneously, leading to faster and more efficient data processing. This enhancement ensures that list updates are processed more quickly and efficiently, providing a smoother and more responsive experience.
Automation Steps
Enhanced Wait Steps in Standard Automations
What’s new?
We have introduced new wait step options in standard automation. In addition to the previously available hours, days, and weeks, you can now select 15, 30, and 45-minute wait intervals.
Why does it matter?
These new shorter delay options provide greater flexibility in managing the timing of your automated actions. This enhancement is particularly useful for staggering the start of automations, ensuring a smoother and more controlled workflow.
Automaton Calendar
Phone Number Requirement for Meeting Scheduling
What’s new?
Bullhorn Automation users who utilize the automation calendar now have the option to require a phone number from contacts when scheduling meetings.

This issue has been resolved. The dateI9Expiration field will now remain unpopulated as expected, ensuring accurate data handling during onboarding.
Recruiter Experience
Client Business Key in Document Rules
What’s new?
Business Keys are now displayed next to Client and Client Office names in dropdown menus when creating or updating document rules. This enhancement allows administrators and recruiters to see the Business Key alongside the Client or Client Office name (e.g., Boston (502484_990784)) during candidate onboarding.
Why does it matter?
This new feature addresses a critical need for easily differentiating between clients or locations with the same name. By displaying the Business Key, administrators and recruiters can quickly and accurately identify the correct Client or Client Office, reducing the risk of errors and improving efficiency during the candidate onboarding process. This enhancement ensures a smoother, more reliable experience when managing document rules.

Candidates
Custom Applicant Validator
What’s new?
We have introduced a new feature to enhance the integration capabilities of Talent Platform, allowing administrators to connect an external service URL for validating applicant information directly from the Preliminary Information page.
Why does it matter?
This integration ensures efficient duplicate checks and a seamless onboarding experience for candidates. Here are the key benefits:
- Improved Accuracy: The custom applicant validator performs duplicate checks on specified fields when the save button is clicked, ensuring data accuracy.
- Seamless Workflow: Candidates with unique values experience a streamlined onboarding process, while those with duplicate values receive clear UI feedback and guidance on the next steps.
How do I enable this?
Configuration
Administrators can now configure a Custom Applicant Validator under Configuration > Settings > Integration Settings.
API Support
The Applicant Validation Endpoint has been added to the Applicants API, supporting both BASIC and APIKEY authentication.
Resolved Issues
Credentials: iCims Req List
Previously, req lists were failing to run for iCims customer credentials. Error handling has been added to VMS Sync to restore req list functionality. This ensures customers with affected iCims credentials receive position updates without delay.
Credentials: Simpliant Req List
Previously, Req Lists only processed requisitions with a status of “Closed.” VMS Sync now utilizes pagination and requisition status filters, ensuring all available Simpliant VMS Positions are processed for delivery.
Credentials: Simplify VMS Req List
Previously, req lists processed a maximum of 3000 requisitions in ascending order (lowest ID first). This prevented newer requisitions from processing when created or updated in Simplify VMS. VMS Sync now utilizes pagination, and requisitions are processed in descending order. This ensures all available Simplify VMS Positions are processed for delivery.
Position
Fieldglass “Target Bill Rate Range” Field Parsing Request
What’s new?
VMS Sync now parses Target Bill Rate Range from Fieldglass VMS Positions. This value shows on the Position Details screen as Bill Rate Min and Bill Rate Max under the Rates section.
Why does it matter?
Rate parsing is essential for both job accuracy and rules, as many customers use logic that references rates to influence job delivery, field mapping, and internal user email notifications.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available
Position
Ayaconnect “Job Type” Field Parsing Request
What’s new?
VMS Sync now parses Job Type from Ayaconnect VMS Positions. This value shows on the Position Details screen as Position Type, under the Req Details section.
Why does it matter?

Customers use Job Type to further categorize jobs in their ATS before selecting candidates for submission. Being able to pull the Job Type field makes it easier to distinguish between non-clinical jobs.
How do I enable this?

Forms: Files not Matching with Signed Docs in Onboarding
An issue was resolved with File Upload Forms containing a File Upload field. Previously, the correct document was not previewed in the applicant’s profile.
Note: Although changes to address this issue were included in a previous release, some specific situations needed to be accounted for. We have now fully resolved this issue to ensure accurate document preview in all scenarios.
Forms: Pay Type Setting Not Displaying on Form
An issue was resolved for instances when custom pay account labels would display the custom value as expected on the Pay Settings page for the user to select. Still, the generated document would not respect the custom value and show the default, causing potential payroll issues.
I-9: SSN Mismatch Filter on I-9 Dashboard
An issue on the I-9 Dashboard caused by the SSN Mismatch filter returning records that previously had an SSN mismatch but had since been corrected has been fixed. This filter will now only return existing SSN mismatches.
Preliminary Information: Disabled Fed ID Fields
An issue was resolved where the ‘I do not have an SSN’ checkbox remained visible and interactive after Federal ID validation. Post-validation, the checkbox is now hidden to prevent any confusion. However, recruiters still retain the ability to update necessary fields as required. This fix streamlines the validation process and enhances the user experience by ensuring that irrelevant options are not displayed, thereby reducing potential errors and improving data accuracy.
Forms

What’s new?
- 3rd Party Pre-Onboarding Section:
-
-
- A new “3rd Party Pre-Onboarding” section has been introduced on the Forms page.
- Administrators can create, edit, and update iframes.
- When enabled, this iframe is automatically included in the candidate’s onboarding process once forms are assigned, preventing recruiters and admins from assigning it separately on the order workflow page.
- Only one 3rd Party Pre-Onboarding template can be enabled at a time, with new templates automatically disabling the previous ones.
-
- Enhanced Control Over Federal ID Collection:
-
-
- Administrators can now toggle the requirement for federal ID collection at the form level when the “Fed ID and DOB Not Required” customer setting is enabled.
- This form can be made mandatory for hiring, ensuring candidates must successfully complete the pre-onboarding step before accessing their forms.
-
- Pre-Onboarding Step for Candidates:
-
- A new Pre-Onboarding step has been added for candidates, providing an additional step before they complete their assigned forms.
- Candidates who successfully complete pre-onboarding checks are exempt from repeating them.
Why does it matter?
- Streamlined Onboarding Process: Automating the inclusion of pre-onboarding iframes and allowing only one template at a time simplifies the process for administrators, reducing manual tasks and potential errors.
- Increased Accuracy and Reduced Redundancy: By exempting candidates who successfully complete pre-onboarding checks from repeating them, the process becomes more efficient and accurate.
- Enhanced Data Control: Allowing administrators to toggle federal ID collection requirements provides greater flexibility and control over sensitive data, ensuring compliance with varying customer needs.

- Change Language is now Language.
If you select an action, the corresponding Action button now displays which adjustment was applied. If you generate a new prompt, the buttons will revert to their default states.

- Business
- Academic
- Friendly

- Under 100 Words (Recommended for SMS)
- Under 250 Words (Recommended for Email)
- Under 500 Words
Updates to Auto-Generation and Update Button
Prompts will no longer auto-generate after you select a prompt. When you initially load the prompt editor, you’ll see a blue Generate button, which you can click to generate your chosen prompt.
Once a prompt has been generated, the button will change to a white Regenerate button.
If you select any Action options or change the data used, the button will change to a blue Update button.
Updates to the Copy to Clipboard button
The Copy to Clipboard button has been moved to the bottom right of the Copilot card.
Why is this important?
These updates will make the Copilot Generative Candidate Card more intuitive to use. They will give you more visibility and control over your actions and help you keep track of which adjustments you’ve already made to your prompt.
Email Validation Error Handling
What’s new?
We have updated the error handling with our email validation service to ensure better reliability and email delivery.
If our email validation service encounters system issues and cannot validate an email address, we will no longer hard bounce the email. Instead, the email will proceed to our email delivery provider, which also includes a validation service.
Why does it matter?
This update ensures that emails are still sent even if our primary validation service is unreachable. By preventing unnecessary hard bounces, we improve the chances of successful email delivery and maintain better communication with recipients. This enhancement is crucial for ensuring continuous and reliable email operations.
Dashboards
Dashboard Owners can grant Edit or View Access when Sharing Dashboards
What’s new?
Bullhorn Analytics users with the Share Dashboards permission can now grant either View or Edit access when sharing their Dashboards with other users. Any edits made to a shared Dashboard will be saved and applied to all users. Note: Only users with Full Dashboard Editing Abilities can be assigned Edit access to shared Dashboards. Users with Basic or None Dashboard Editing Abilities can only be assigned View access and cannot make changes.
In addition, the Dashboard Owner’s name has been removed from the Dashboards list but can be viewed on hover.
Why does it matter?
Dashboard management can now be shared among multiple users with full dashboard editing abilities while controlling access for other users within an organization. Previously, only the owner could make updates once a dashboard was created.
How do I enable this?
This enhancement is available by default. Dashboards can be shared with groups or individual users by clicking the “Share” icon, selecting the user(s) or group, and then choosing their level of access.

Candidate Experience – Translations
French Translations Expanded
What’s new?
French translations have been expanded to cover requirement and error prompts, hard-coded fields, and buttons on the Candidate Profile, Employee History, Checklist page, Completed Documents, and Options drop-down. Parts of the user profile interface were also updated to correct mistranslated French localizations.
Why does it matter?
Previously, these areas were only partially translated or incorrectly translated, with some content still in English. Updating them to French ensures a more consistent and improved user experience for French-speaking users.
Candidate Experience – Form
Connecticut Withholding Form
What’s new?
The Connecticut withholding form has been improved to prevent candidates from simultaneously “adding additional” and “subtracting from” withholding.
Bullhorn ATS Integration
Enhanced Data Sync Frequency with Onboarding365 Configuration
What’s new?
The integration with Bullhorn ATS has been enhanced to support the more frequent syncing of candidates’ Social Security Number (SSN) and Date of Birth (DOB) fields. When candidates provide or update their SSN and DOB after submitting their profile, this information will be immediately synced to Bullhorn ATS. If an SSN Receipt is resolved, the new SSN will be synced to Bullhorn ATS immediately.
Why does it matter?
Previously, SSN and DOB information was only sent to Bullhorn ATS after the completion of Onboarding, which could be too late for some use cases. With this update, syncing these fields immediately upon submission or update ensures that critical candidate information is available in Bullhorn ATS promptly, improving the efficiency and timeliness of your recruitment processes.
Administrator Experience – Emails
Customized Sender Email Address
What’s new?
- Custom Sender Email Address: Agency administrators can now set up a custom sender email address under Settings > Agency Information.
- Transactional Emails from Your Domain: Transactional emails can now be sent from your own domain instead of estaff365.com.
- DNS Verification Status Messages: The setup process includes DNS verification status messages to ensure proper configuration and deliverability.
Why is it Important?
- Professional Branding: Sending emails from your own domain enhances your agency’s professional image and brand consistency.
- Increased Deliverability: Custom sender email addresses, along with DNS verification, improve the likelihood of emails reaching recipients’ inboxes, reducing the chances of being marked as spam.
- Enhanced Security: DNS verification helps ensure that emails are authenticated, reducing the risk of spoofing and phishing attacks.
- User Trust: Receiving emails from a recognizable domain builds trust with your clients and recipients, leading to better engagement and communication.
How do I enable this?
To successfully send emails using an address belonging to another domain, customers must update their DNS settings to include a DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) record. This step is crucial for email authentication, ensuring that the emails are not marked as spam and are delivered reliably.
Note: This feature is dependent on the Bullhorn 2024.7 release.

All information previously found under the removed tabs can still be easily accessed through the I-9 Dashboard 2.0 interface, maintaining full functionality while improving usability.
Recruiter Experience – Addresses
Standardized Address Component
What’s new?
A new reusable frontend component for the Address model has been implemented in WFM. This component standardizes address fields (Country, Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip) to ensure consistency and scalability across all pages in WFM requiring address information. The update replaces scattered address fields across Locations and Applicants, simplifying updates and supporting international addresses. Additionally, address support has been added for the following countries: Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, and Spain.
Why does it matter?
This update ensures uniformity in address data across various pages, making it easier to maintain and update address information.

-
- Pre-Onboarding Step for Candidates:
-
- A new Pre-Onboarding step has been added for candidates, providing an additional step before they complete their assigned forms.

Date of Birth and Tax Identification Number (Social Security Number) are now required fields on Healthtrust submissions and must contain a value to enable the Submit button.
A feature has been added to allow users to opt out of providing a Tax Identification (Social Security Number) on Healthtrust submissions. The Healthtrust Submit to VMS form now displays a checkbox labeled “Candidate does not have an SSN or TIN”. When checked, the Tax Identification Number (Social Security Number) field is disabled and no longer marked as required for submission.

These enhancements provide significant value by offering more design flexibility and control over email layouts. Marketing teams can now create more organized, visually appealing, and device-responsive email campaigns, leading to better engagement with prospective candidates.
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.

Security: Viewing Forms in the Package
An issue for users that have Branch Security enabled has been resolved. Now when users are sending a package to applicants that contains forms not available for the location that the user belongs to, they will be able to see that those forms were sent as expected.

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.

We resolved an issue in the Bullhorn Reporting model that resulted in intermittent errors. Reports are now running successfully.

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.

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?

Copilot
Error Logs on Admin Page
What’s new?

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.
Compliance Manager
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.

Forms
Signature Request Status Update After Successful Retry to HelloSign
An issue was resolved where signed eDocs that should have had the status of ‘SIGNED’ would occasionally show a status of ‘ERROR’. This issue was due to the first attempt to validate with HelloSign returning an error. The system performs a retry, and in the case where the retry was successful the status of the eDoc was not updating.

Bullhorn Integration: Edocs Complete Notes Show the Wrong Completed Documents when Multiple Onboarding Requests are Sent to an Applicant
We resolved an issue with the Bullhorn integration that resulted in notes made from opening or finishing eDocs not always including the correct document in the note’s body when the applicant received multiple packages. The appropriate documents will now be included in the note’s body in Bullhorn for the action that was performed.
Files: Onboarding Files Not Aligned with File Name
An issue was resolved with File Upload Forms that also have a File Upload field. Previously when these were viewed in the applicant’s profile, the preview sometimes did not display the correct document. Now the preview will show the correct document.
Forms: Multi-Select Input Form Field Validation Not Respecting “Required”
We corrected an issue with forms where required requestor fields of the “checkbox group” type were not being honored. Forms with this type of field marked as required will now not be allowed to be sent unless a value has been selected.
I-9: Perm. Resident (Form I-551) with I-797 Displaying Incorrect Document Capture Example
The example image displayed during the I-9 Section 2 document capture has been updated to accurately reflect a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551). This change improves clarity for the users and will reduce errors when uploading.

Resolved Issues
Field Parsing: SimplifyVMS (gulfstream)
VMS Sync now parses Total Openings and Supervisor Full Name for SimplifyVMS (gulfstream) VMS Positions. Parsing all available fields from the VMS increases data accuracy and reduces end-user manual entry and product swivel.
Positions (Magnit Rightsourcing): Incorrect Position Type/Per Diem values
VMS Sync has resolved an issue with Magnit Rightsourcing field parsing. Previously, Position Type displayed as “Privacy Security | Browser Requirements”, and Per Diem was set to “true” due to End Date being earlier than Start Date. Both values are now parsing as expected.
Position Type and Per Diem values are used to determine Bullhorn Job track, which impacts field labels, values, and requirements available on the ATS Job. Parsing accurate values is crucial to correct categorization and quick req delivery, as many customers have rules that ignore Per Diem reqs for delivery.
Skill Mapping: Linked Skill No Longer Redirects to Unlinked Tab
An issue with redirects on the Skill Mapping dashboard has been resolved. Previously, when a user clicked on a Skill Mapping link from the Position Details page, clicking anywhere on the Linked Skills page redirected the user to the Unlinked Skills tab. Users can now click anywhere on the Linked Skills page and remain on the page.
The Linked Skills page allows end-users to quickly confirm which ATS values are associated with a Medical Type/Specialty combination and if necessary, unlink to correct for future Position transactions. All Skill Mapping users can review this update by clicking a Skill Mapping link found on the Position Details page.
Submittals: Beeline Default Pay Rate
An issue has been resolved where an incorrect default Pay Rate was auto-populating on Ametek Beeline Submittals. VMS Sync now uses more specific logic to retrieve the default Pay Rate value and display the correct value on the Submit to VMS form.
Field auto-population saves end-users time on manual entry and ensures data is accurate before submitting a candidate to the VMS. This update will automatically reflect on all Ametek Beeline Submittals.
Positions
Shiftrockv2 ParsedStatus Converted from Text to Number
What’s new?
VMS Sync now converts status values returned from Shiftrockv2 API from numbers to text:
ShiftrockV2 Number Value VMS Sync Text Value
1 New
2 Closed
3 Reopen
4 Update
Why does it matter?
While some customers use raw VMS status in rules or automations, VMS Sync converts all unique VMS status values to a smaller set of normalized values for ease of mapping for end users. These values can be viewed on the Status Mapping tab of the Account page in VMS Sync Admin Tools.
How do I enable this?
Generally Available: All ShiftrockV2 credentials are affected by this update.

Jobs Match
Update Jobs Match Settings to Include Quality Criteria
What’s new?
A minimum score requirement for semantic match can be set to ensure that only jobs that meet your quality configuration are sent to candidates. Although job matching previously prioritized high-quality matches, subpar matches would be sent if higher-quality matches were not available. Now, if there are no job matches that meet the required quality, the system will not send the email to the candidate, only matches meeting your criteria are being sent on your behalf.
Logic added:
- If a Job is under the criteria setting, then don’t create the match and or include in the email
Why does it matter?
This will ensure that candidates are only receiving jobs that meet specific criteria and are not being sent bad matches.
How do I enable this?

This reduces storage requirements concerning archived logs.
Copilot
UI Updates
What’s new?
The Token Limit is no longer a required field on the Copilot Admin page because this information is no longer required to enable Copilot.
We’ve also made the following changes to the Copilot Generative Candidate Card:
- The “Humorous” option under the Change Tone drop-down has been removed because the prompt has proven to be ineffective in recruiter workflows and doesn’t provide business value.
- The “Improve a Message” prompt has been removed because this prompt wasn’t providing accurate responses based on the data we were passing to the LLM. We are looking into potentially extending this functionality elsewhere in the application, where it would better apply to recruitment messaging workflows.
- The “Pitch [Candidate] To __” prompt has been renamed to “Pitch [Job] to [Candidate]” to more accurately describe what this prompt does.
- Note: Only the name has changed. The same prompt will still be sent to the LLM.
Why does it matter?

Compliance Manager
Create Auto-Match Feature
What’s new?
Auto-Match automatically shows when credentials match a requirement. As a Compliance Specialist, you no longer need to manually match a Placement Certification with a Candidate’s Certification and instead, you can see auto-matches when applicable. This saves you time and effort managing many requirements for a candidate to start and remain working in a Placement.
When you save or edit a Placement Credential, you can see matches in the Compliance Manager Requirements list, the Placement Credential table on the Placement record, and the Placement Credential table on the Candidate record. After an auto-match occurs, you can make changes by selecting the Actions menu to either edit, delete the Certification Requirement, or remove the linked credential.
Note: Compliance Manager only matches credentials that are not expiring in the next 30 days after the Placement start date.
Why does it matter?
The enhancement to the credentialing workflow reduces the burden of manually matching credentials at each stage of the onboarding process and redeployment process. Using Auto-Match allows you to improve the speed to clear candidates and provide a stronger candidate experience by removing the request for duplicate credentials that already exist.
How do I enable this?
The feature is available by default. For a Credential to be able to be auto-matched, the Credential itself needs to have the following setup performed by a Client Admin:
- Credential Field Map: Credential isTransferable = TRUE
- Credentials Page Setting: Credential Transferable Status = YES
Advanced Search

An issue with file upload forms becoming corrupt has been resolved. Previously when applicants uploaded a file to a form and chose Save and Exit instead of Finish and Sign, when they returned to the form and chose Finish and Sign without uploading the file again, the original would be corrupted.
Forms: Hide “Always Resend to Applicant”
The Always Resend to Applicant toggle that was visible when editing forms is now hidden behind the Enable Re-Use of Signed Forms in Packages configuration setting, simplifying the user experience to reduce confusion.
Forms: Requester Text Fields Wrap on Form Previews
Paragraph fields on forms will now allow for the text to wrap within the text box. Previously the texts would run off of the page margins.
Note: The space in the box is limited so consider the size of the box and if the space will hold the required text.
Locations: Duplicate Address Lines on Location Add/Edit
An issue with the Address line 1/2 fields was resolved. Previously a duplicate field was shown when editing or adding a Location.
Login: “Login as [Applicant]” Feature Prompts the TOS
An issue was resolved with accessing an Applicant’s record by using the “Log in as [Applicant]” feature. Previously you were presented with the first-time login notification to accept the Terms of Service. This caused an issue as the Applicant should be the one to accept these.
I-9: Completing New I-9 Allow Two Stage Verification
For clients using the two-stage verification setting, Talent Platform now clears the verified status when a new Section 2 is signed. Previously users were unable to verify the newly completed Section 2.
I-9: Dashboard Shows the Latest File/Form Completed
I-9 Dashboard 2.0 now streamlines the display for applicants with corrected active I-9s. Instead of multiple rows, the dashboard now presents only the most recently signed I-9, ensuring clarity during correction processes. Brand new I-9s will continue to be represented by two rows for consistent visibility.
I-9: Incorrect Section 2 URL Provided
An issue with the 2023 I-9 Section 2 page URL was resolved. It was occasionally reverting to the format for the old I-9 version.
I-9: Missing External ID for 2023 I-9 Section 2
An issue was resolved where External IDs for 2023 I-9 Section 2 were missing, impacting document access from the E-Verify Dashboard details panel. This fix will impact newly completed I-9s but existing records will be fixed in a separate ticket.
I-9: Resend Email Notification Sending to Authorized Representative
An issue with I-9 email notifications that require an authorized representative has been resolved. Previously notifications were being sent to the representative before the applicant completed their portion. This update ensures that notifications are now appropriately directed based on the completion status.
Internationalization: Country Code Resets for Applicants
An issue with the country code of Canada on the candidate’s phone number has been resolved. Previously when a candidate set their number with the Canadian country code it was reverting to the United States when they revisited the page. Now the selected Country Code is retained upon saving.
Workflow: “Order Workflow” Allows Multiple Placements to be Selected
An issue with the Order Workflow View was resolved. Previously recruiters could erroneously select multiple placements for a candidate. The fix changes the input to only allow recruiters to assign one placement at a time.

New keywords have been added to more accurately derive Medical Type values:
Keyword | Type |
Histology Technician

Why does it matter?
VMS Sync assigns a Medical Type and Specialty value to all Healthcare Positions to better categorize the type of work the vendor is requesting. Medical Type and Specialty values are displayed on the Skill Mapping Dashboard where a user can set ATS Job field values for each Medical Type-Specialty combination. This allows for a specialty-specific Position categorization workflow and ensures unmapped positions aren’t delivered to the ATS until a link has been intentionally created by a user.

Keyword | Specialty |
Cath Technologist | Catheterization Laboratory |

Type | Description |
Technologist | Ranked as lowest priority (most generic) |
Why does it matter?
VMS Sync assigns a Medical Type and Specialty value to all Healthcare Positions to better categorize the type of work a vendor is requesting.

Skill Mapping Export Matches ATS Configuration
What’s new?
The VMS Sync Skill Mapping export has been updated to include all ATS fields enabled in an account’s Skill Mapping Config settings. Additionally, all VMS Sync Type-Specialty pairs will accurately display one of the following Status values:
- Confirmed: A Skill Mapping link has been created for the Type-Specialty pair. Positions with this Type-Specialty pair will automatically deliver to the ATS.
- Unmapped: A Skill Mapping link has not been created for the Type-Specialty pair. Positions with this Type-Specialty pair will not deliver to the ATS until manually linked.

Jobs & Placements
Close Job When Adding Placements from Job Orders
An issue was resolved where manually adding Placements from Job Orders was not respecting the closeJob selection. Previously, when manually adding a Placement from the Job order ACTIONS menu, the job was not closing when ‘YES’ was selected for the “Would you like to close this [JOB]?” question. Now, when using the workflow, the associated job will be set to ‘closed’.
Entity Action Email Notifications
An issue was resolved with the functionality of email notifications populated from entity actions that were impacting the workflows of Bullhorn users when communicating with others. Now, when a Bullhorn user adds any Internal Distribution List to an email notification from an entity action (such as adding or editing a Job, Submission, or Placement), the recipients of the notification will see the recipient list in the email, and an unsubscribe link will not be included in the title or message.
Data Replication

Performance – List Matching
List Matching Update
Bullhorn has achieved faster list updates by improving the way data changes from the ATS are processed through list criteria in Automation.
To minimize delays with list updates and better match our customers’ configured time zones, date-based calculations have also been improved.
These changes allow records to process through automations sooner, leading to quicker end-to-end automation times.
Email – Compliance
1-Click Unsubscribe to Available in Emails sent on Behalf of Customers
Bullhorn has added support for new Google and Yahoo regulations to ensure that emails sent on behalf of customers by Bullhorn Automation are not limited, blocked, or marked as spam by these email providers. This enhancement ensures that emails from Bullhorn Automation are less likely to be flagged as spam while allowing recipients an easier way to unsubscribe. Providing recipients with a straightforward way to unsubscribe can improve open rates, click-through rates, and sending efficiency.
Candidates receiving an email from Bullhorn Automation can now use the Unsubscribe link in the header beside the From email address. After they click this link, they will be unsubscribed from further emails through Bullhorn Automation.
Note: This change applies to candidates using a Gmail or Yahoo client. For candidates using iOS, the Unsubscribe link will not appear in the header since these URLs are not supported by iOS. Those candidates can still unsubscribe through the link in the footer.
ATS Integration
ATS Integration – List Matching Criteria
An issue was resolved with list criteria mapped to ATS fields that had different display list and value list configurations. Bullhorn Automation was not properly catching records that matched certain list criteria because they were matching the display value and not the actual database value for those records. These fields are now matching the records correctly to use the criteria for the Bullhorn ATS fields in this configuration.

Active Workflows Tab Display
Previously when opening the Active Workflows tab the data would not load. This release resolves the issue and data now loads correctly in this dashboard.
Candidate Experience – Work Experience

Generally Available: All Provade Positions processed going forward will contain rate values. Please contact Bullhorn VMS Support to add rate values to ATS.
VMS Sync
Credential Email Address Visibility
You can now view Credential Email from the Credential Details page in VMS Sync:
Credential Email is used to receive emails from the VMS, allowing VMS Sync to process Position updates for ATS delivery as quickly as possible. VMS Sync users previously had to contact Bullhorn VMS Support for this value.
Generally Available: This feature is live for all VMS Sync Credentials.
VMS Sync Robots
Simple VMS | Parse “Other Requirements” Field
VMS Sync now parses Other Requirements for Simple VMS Positions. This ensures ATS Jobs include as much data from the VMS as possible, increasing data integrity and reducing the need for end user manual updates.
Availability: Please reach out to Bullhorn VMS Support to add Other Requirements to ATS Jobs.
VMS Sync Robots
Improvements to Large Attachment Handling
VMS Sync Submittals has improved how we handle larger attachments. A new endpoint has been added to more efficiently retrieve file contents, and files are now uploaded before they’re saved. This workflow change resolves a previous issue with very large attachments (17MB+).
Large attachment handling is particularly important for Healthcare users who are required to submit multiple files per candidate submission.
Availability: This backend update has been applied to all Submittal-supported VMSs (Fieldglass, Beeline and Pixid).
VMS Sync Robots
Covendis | getReqList Failure
An issue was resolved with requisition processing for three Covendis Credentials. Previously, Covendis Credentials weren’t auto-deactivated due to an invalid password, causing Position delivery failures.
Covendis Credentials are now auto-deactivated when the password is expired. This provides end users with a clear indication of Credential issues and how to resolve them.
VMS Sync
Story VMS | Rate Parsing Error
An issue was resolved with Story VMS Positions. Previously, VMS Sync failed to parse Bill Rate for a small number of Story Positions, blocking ATS delivery.
Now, both Bill Rate and Pay Rate are parsed successfully and Positions are delivered to the ATS as expected. This ensures timely job creation and reduces the need for end user manual job entry.
VMS Sync
Shiftrock VMS | Shift-Rate Lookup
VMS Sync now uses Shift Type to assign Bill Rate Max (and Bill Rate Min, if applicable) for Shiftrock VMS Positions. While Shiftrock lists Shift Type on a Position, it provides rates for all Shift Types in a single table.
To avoid having to configure dozens of rules that set ATS Bill Rate based on Shift Type, the following rate parsing logic has been added:
- Find Shift Type value.
- Ignore Rotating value (doesn’t correspond to any rates).
- Attempt to match Shift Type value to the end of Rate value.
- Use Fixed Rate values first (most common).
- If one Rate value is found, set Bill Rate Max to Rate value.
- If multiple Rate values are found:
- Set Bill Rate Max to high value.
- Set Bill Rate Min to low value.
- If Rate values are the same, set Bill Rate Max and Bill Rate Min to the same value.
This ensures ATS Jobs include as much data from the VMS as possible, increasing data integrity and reducing the need for end user manual updates.
Availability: This update has been automatically applied to all Shiftrock VMS Credentials.
VMS Sync
Linking Positions With MedSpecialty “None”
An issue was resolved with linking Positions without a medSpecialty value on the Skill Mapping dashboard. Previously, Skill Mapping users were unable to create new links for Positions with a medSpecialty value of “None”, causing Position delivery delays.
Now, Positions with a “None” medSpecialty value are linked successfully. This allows Skill Mapping users to quickly link Positions for ATS delivery.
VMS Sync
IQNavigator | changePassword Failure
An issue was resolved with password rotation for a large number of IQNavigator Credentials. Previously, VMS Sync auto-updated VMS passwords for dedicated IQNavigator Credentials with a 10-character value. Recently, IQNavigator updated its password requirements to include 16 alphanumeric characters and at least one special character. This requirement change caused VMS Sync’s weekly password rotation to fail for all dedicated IQNavigator Credentials.
Now, VMS Sync auto-updates IQNavigator passwords according to the new requirements successfully. This prevents delays in requisition delivery and updates.
VMS Selectors
Einstein2 | Parse “Overtime Multiplier” Field
VMS Sync now parses Overtime Multiplier for Einstein2 Positions. This ensures ATS Jobs include as much data from the VMS as possible, increasing data integrity and reducing the need for end user manual updates.
Availability: Please reach out to Bullhorn VMS Support to add Overtime Multiplier to Einstein2 ATS Jobs.
Time & Labor
Consistent Minute-to-Decimal Conversion
Time and Labor now leverages the same logic used in Time & Expense for minute-to-decimal conversion. For example, if a candidate enters “20:00 to 23:59,” previously Time and Labor would have converted the quantity to 3.983333 hours. With this enhancement, the entry’s quantity will be 3.98 hours.

Enabled by Default.
Email Marketing
Recipient Validation
Our logic has been updated with a third party email validator to improve our accuracy on which recipients get flagged as “not mailable.” Historically when we received a status from the email validator as a recipient with a high potential for opting out, we would flag the record as “not mailable” to help sustain the integrity of the customer domain. After further partnership with these third party email validators, we have updated our logic to not flag these records as “not mailable” since the recipient hasn’t actually opted out themselves. Now when we receive a status update from the email validation that points to a high potential for them opting out, we will still process that email to the recipient in which they can opt out themselves.
Enabled by Default.

Credentialing specialists now have the ability to filter their placement requirements and candidate credentials by status and credential type. This allows users to stay focused on credentials that need their specific attention while navigating through the requirement checklist.
User Interface
Group Admin “Edit User History” Tab
Previously, the “Edit User History” tab could load slowly with a large number of users and the user’s group would be truncated for deep group hierarchies. Text that was previously truncated now shows the root and end group in the drop-down and fully displays on hover, creating a cleaner look for users in a deep group hierarchy and an improved loading experience.
Original Group Hierarchy Display:
New Group Hierarchy Display:
Gamification
Performance
An issue has been resolved with Gamification running slowly or freezing when the Leaderboard slide loads. The Leaderboards in Gamification load faster now and should not freeze as the number of users increase.
Dashboard
Filtering
An issue has been resolved for Dashboard users where filtering by “Logged in User” or “Logged in User’s Group” would produce no results in the metric, ratio, or ratio comparison panels.
UX and Performance of Active User List Improvements
The active user list in OneView has been enhanced to a searchable list view. Previously, the active user list was not searchable or displayed in a list view.
Before:
After:
Wrong Font Color in Group Overview Leaderboard Slide
An issue has been resolved with Gamification leaderboard slides displaying text as black, which is unreadable, when in Light Theme mode. In Dark Theme mode, the text displayed as white, which was readable, and had no impact.
User Bulk Update UI Performance Enhancements
An enhancement has been made to the Bulk Update tab for Admin users to improve user experience and performance when downloading a file, and using the user filter prior to downloading a user file for importing.
When downloading a file, the Backup All Users and Download button will disable and display a “Downloading” message while the file is generated. Once the file is created and downloaded, the button will be enabled again.
When filtering by users, a scroll bar will appear for long lists to allow better navigation when selecting users to filter on, and groups will expand by one level by default and no longer appear clickable.
Target Bulk Update UI Performance Enhancements
An enhancement has been made to the Bulk Update tab for a Target Admin user, to improve user experience and performance when downloading a file, and using the user filter prior to downloading a target file for importing.
When downloading a file, the Backup All Targets and Download button will disable and display a “Downloading” message while the file is generated. Once the file is created and downloaded, the button will be enabled again.
When filtering by users, a scroll bar will appear for long lists to allow better navigation when selecting users to filter on, and groups will expand by one level by default and no longer appear clickable.
Generating Files on “Bulk Update – History” and “Bulk Update – Hierarchy” Tabs in Group Admin
An enhancement has been made to the Bulk Update History and Hierarchy tabs for Group Admin users. When downloading a file, the download button will disable and display a “Downloading” message while the file is generated. Once completed, the file will download and the button will be enabled again.
Enabled Button – Original state where no file is being downloaded:
Disabled Button – File is Generating “Downloading” displayed:
“Allowed Users to Login As” Picker Enhancements
A new enhancement was made to the “Allowed Users To Log In As” for Admin users that are configuring user switching accounts. When user accounts are selected for user switching, the selected users are now displayed at the top of the list for easier viewing and reduced scrolling to find selected users. The selected users will disable so they cannot be selected again.
When less than 10 users are selected, the selected number of users is displayed with a list of the user names selected.
When more than 10 users are selected, only the number of users selected will display.
I-9 Section 3: I-9 Image Upload
The Section 3 Document Capture now respects the “I-9 Image Upload Disabled” setting. This requires users to capture images of documents to evidence name changes, improving the security and accuracy of I-9 compliance.
Translations
A new translation has been created for the login/sign up page and the “Login Page Instructions” setting has been removed. This allows the login page to provide improved clarity for non-English speaking candidates, ensuring a better understanding of the required actions.
Direct Deposit
An issue has been resolved where users were able to sign forms that used multi_account_pay_settings without providing Direct Deposit information. The system now prevents them from proceeding until they’ve provided the Direct Deposit account information.
I-9 Section 3: Image Capture
The image capture feature in Section 3 for recruiters now provides a convenient preview of images during candidate name change and work authorization reverification.
I-9 Section 2: Loading
An issue has been resolved regarding Section 2 loading properly. Previously Section 2 was not loading properly when the status was “Restart” and Section 2 had been partially completed up until the HelloSign signature step.
I-9 Section 2: Alien Registration Receipt Card
The document upload requirements for the Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551) have been updated. It is now required for E-Verify employers opting to retain photo match documents only, ensuring hassle-free document retention and compliance.
Packages
When a form within a package is disabled, WFM now displays a warning prompt that identifies which packages might be impacted before removing the form. This simplifies package maintenance.
Mobile Branding
The mobile color scheme for Talent Platform can now be easily previewed on the Branding page.
Updated I-9 Data Views
The Form I-9 and Form I-9 Audit Trail data views, as well as their Export Spreadsheets, have been updated to display the exact language from the newest version of Form I-9. The Export Spreadsheet for the Form I-9 data view has two new fields: “Preparer Middle Initial” and “Alternative Procedure Used”.
Receipt Tab on I-9 Dashboard
An issue has been resolved with the I-9 Dashboard. Previously, the I-9 Dashboard did not display a document’s receipt on the Receipt Tab when an I-9 Certification Correction form was filled out with the “Is Receipt?” box checked, but the original Form I-9 was filled out without checking the “Is Receipt?” box. Now, the document’s receipt is displayed on the Receipt Tab whether or not the “Is Receipt?” box is checked on the original Form I-9.
Form I-20 & Form DS-2019 not Populating in Dropdown
An issue has been resolved that caused the “Student Eligibility Certificate” (Form I-20) and the “Visitor Eligibility Certificate” (Form DS-2019) to not appear in the “Document Title” dropdown when a user was attempting to reverify I-9 documents that used I-9 section 3.
Form I-9’s
Form I-9, Paper I-9, the I-9 Certification Correction form, and the I-9 Receipt Resolution form have been updated to their most recent versions to ensure that we are in compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency.
“Employment Authorization” Dropdown
An issue has been resolved that caused an Agency’s country, instead of the “United States”, to be displayed in the “Employment Authorization” dropdown on the I-9 web form.
“Download Single File” Feature
The logic for the “Download Single File” feature has been updated for the new Form I-9.
- “Download Single File” Feature for Old Form I-9
- Section 1 & 2 are combined into a single PDF.

“Download” & “Download All” Feature
The logic for the “Download” feature and the “Download All ” feature on the I-9 Audit Tab (I-9 Dashboard) was updated for the new Form I-9 and the old Form I-9:
- “Download” Feature for Old Form I-9

- “Download All” Feature: When selected, a ZIP file is downloaded and if the ZIP file contains both the Old and New Form I-9 PDFs, both forms need to follow the logic listed above, respectively.
Enhanced Support for “When Not Empty in Onboarding365”
Support has been enhanced for the value “When not empty in Onboarding365”. Previously, flowback failed when a user mapped a non-string Onboarding365 field and selected the value “When not empty in Onboarding365” for the “Always Overwrite” field. Now, flowback is successful when a non-string Onboarding365 field is mapped and the value “When not empty in Onboarding365” is selected for the “Always Overwrite” field.
Sync Reliability
Our initial import service has been enhanced with additional self-heal functionality to improve our historical data syncing process. If errors occur, the system will automatically resume the sync process in a more efficient manner, reducing sync delays for our Salesforce and Erecruit customers.
Send Notification Emails
Support has been added for Salesforce, Invenias and Erecruit customers to be able to open records in their ATS from Automation notifications. Historically the “View In ATS” button on email notifications to recruiters would not open the associated record in their ATS. Now recruiters will be able to view the record from an Automation notification in their ATS without having to manually look the record up.
New 2023 I-9
A new I-9 form (effective 08/01/23) has been added for all US-based clients using I-9 forms for Onboarding in BBO. Clients will automatically receive it by 10/12/23 and the older form shouldn’t be used after 11/1/23. It has the following updates:
- Sections 1 and 2 have been condensed to a single page.
- New Supplement A and B.
- Options for choosing alternative procedures for verification.
Payable Charge Slideout
An issue has been resolved where, when viewing the Payable Charge slideout from within a Placement’s Payable Charge tab, users were unable to close the slideout if there were too many characters in the slideout header text. In this release, the header text is truncated and the user will be able to close the slideout.
Invoice Statement Template Variable
Amount Based Earn Codes and Expense Based Earn Codes will now be included in the calculation of the variable Other Total Amount. This variable is found within the Earn Code Amounts table and was introduced as part of the Amount Based Earn Code feature which originally only supported Time Based Earn Codes.
Submittal Icons
Icons on the Submit to VMS form are now displaying as expected. A recent Bullhorn Novo icon update interfered with Sync’s ability to retrieve icons for the Submit to VMS form. Sync now pulls icons from an internal file instead of an external URL.
RH Submittals | Fieldglass Submittal Email Parsing
Updated Fieldglass submittal email parsing to use a more specific URL value. This lets VMS Sync process candidate submission updates as expected, reducing processing delays and increasing data accuracy.
Vizient | ATS Save Fail Reports
Updated backend so Vizient Positions without attachments no longer show ATS Save Fail reports in VMS Sync Admin Tools. This improves user experience by only displaying Position errors when appropriate and actionable.
Greenhouse | Req Delivery
Updated parsing logic to restore Greenhouse req delivery. Greenhouse updated their VMS structure and layout, and backend code adjustments were required to process requisitions as expected.
AyaConnect | Shift Values
AyaConnect reqs now display all Shift values found on the VMS. This ensures data entry accuracy and reduces product swivel.
AHSA/Trio | Position Attachments for Rate Sheet PDFs Support
AHSA/Trio reqs now include the VMS Rate Sheet. This document includes additional compensation information unavailable on the webpage. This enhancement increases data accuracy and reduces product swivel.
Date Fields On Job (aka Vacancy) Records
An issue was resolved where searching against the Date Added or the Date Last Modified fields on Job records was not always returning the correct results due to an issue with how search handled different time zones.
File Preview Slideout
An issue was resolved within the preview slideout for files. Previously, users were unable to scroll horizontally. Now, users are able to view large files by scrolling horizontally in the preview slideout.
Requirements Checklist
An issue was resolved where the Requirements Checklist would have to be re-opened when navigating to a different page in the ATS and back to the Compliance Manager Dashboard.
Placement Requirement’s Edit History
When expanding a Placement credential card, compliance specialists can now access their specific Placement requirement’s edit history. This will allow the specialists the ability to quickly track changes for Placement requirements without leaving the Compliance Manager.
Candidate Notes
Compliance specialists can now quickly add, edit, and view notes for a given candidate on a specific placement certification card by expanding it from the requirements checklist on the compliance manager list. This allows them to more quickly align candidates to requirements and get candidates to work faster.
Secondary Owners
A new System Setting (configurable by Bullhorn Administrators) labeled “Secondary Owner Candidate Record Access“ was added to allow secondary owner(s) in the secondaryOwner field on a Candidate record to view associated Placement and Submission records across their organization’s departments.
CRF Edit tab new look and inline editing
Customer Required Field Options are now displayed in a refreshed table look on the “Edit” tab. This change enables in-line editing which means making updates to options is faster than ever as a result of the autosave functionality. We have also added a new pagination feature to help you manage larger amounts of data in a more effective manner. Lastly, the “Add” button has moved from the bottom of the list to a button on the top right of the table, preventing the need to scroll to the bottom of the page to add new options.
Note & Email Template Filtering
The look and functionality of searching for note and email templates have been enhanced throughout ATS. Previously, a user was limited to searching only the first 200 recently updated templates. Now, when a user goes to select a note or email template, users can search for the following without that 200 template limitation:
- My Templates: Private or Public templates that user created
- Department Templates: Private templates owned by the user, and Public templates available to users in their department
- All templates: Private templates owned by the user, and Public department templates owned by other users in their ATS
Once a user begins typing to search for their templates, the user can scroll through their results expanding well beyond the previous 200 template view limitation.
Currency Option for Managing SEEK Job Postings
An issue was resolved with the SEEK Job Posting integration. Previously, currency defaulted to AUD regardless of job region. Now users can select the correct currency type. This ensures that within the job posting on SEEK’s website, the pay scale corresponds with the proper currency option.
Submission List Status Dropdown
An issue was resolved where dropdowns were missing scrollbars on lists. This issue primarily affected all entity submission lists and the candidate file list. Users will now be able to select any options from the list.
Direct Deposit Flowback
An issue was resolved with direct deposit flowback. Previously, an error would occur during direct deposit flowback when the Remainder Deposit Type Account did not have the highest “Payment Order” number. Now, direct deposit flowback occurs successfully.
Workflow Shortlist Pop-up
A French translation issue seen on the pop-up modal when a Candidate is moved to “rejected” status in the Submission tab has been resolved.
Dashboard Cards
The “Starts and Ends” dashboard card was updated so that German users see the text “Start & Ende” rather than “Anfnge & Enden”. We have updated the “My Activity” dashboard card so that German users see the text “Meine Aktivitäten” rather than “Meine Aktivitt”. To see these updates, users must remove and re-add the cards to their dashboard.
Certification Module
An issue was resolved where several French translation issues were seen on Certifications within Novo.
Last Published Date
An issue was resolved where the “Last Published Date” would always reflect the Eastern Time Zone. The “Last Published Date” on a job now respects the user’s time zone.
Placement customDate Fields
An issue was resolved causing custom date field values on a submitted placement change request to show the current date on the “Field Changes” overview when a user submits a blank value. Now, custom date fields will display the correct user-selected value when viewing submitted changes of a Placement Change Request.
Version Update
The SnakeYAML library that handles the serialization and deserialization of requests in Data Replication has been excluded.
Data Sync
A new endpoint for Data Sync Services was added so that the Data Replicator Manager may access the newest version of the Data Mirror JAR.
Special Character Support
Bullhorn now supports special characters and accented letters in the “name” field on Custom Tabs.
Foreign Translations
An update was made to the foreign language translations to display foreign language translations in various areas of ATS where it was previously displaying English text when a foreign language was set up in LocaleSetting of System Settings. Previously, when Spanish was configured as the LocaleSetting, it would display text in English in Canvas, but now it will display text in Spanish.
Translation
The Terms of Use notification modal has been updated to support a French translation. This is beneficial for those customers that are managing applicants whose preferred language is French but are still required to agree to the Terms of Use before accessing the applicant portal.
Accept Button
The Terms of Use modal has been updated so that it only has a button to Accept the prompt. If applicants are looking to disagree with the Terms of Use, they will have to either use the browser to navigate backwards or close the browser window itself. This allows clients utilizing SSO with their Applicants to decide to decline the Terms of Use but not get navigated to the standard Applicant Login page, which isn’t the proper SSO login page.
1-9 Section 3: Not Applicable Checkbox
Recruiters can now select a Not Applicable checkbox for documents without expiration dates in Section 3 reverification, streamlining the process and eliminating the need for unnecessary date entries.
I-9 Section 3: Additional Guidance
The Section 3 completion process has been enhanced by providing additional guidance and clearer instructions.
Job Search
An issue has been resolved where using the Location search criteria in the Job Search page of the Talent Platform Portal would return errors depending on the order of the city, state and additional filter that was used. Now, whenever an Applicant runs a search utilizing the Location criteria, records that match that search criteria are properly returned.
I-9 Section 3: Document Numbers
Validation has been provided for the following document numbers, allowing authorized representatives to enter document numbers with greater confidence.
- Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551)
- Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551)
- Foreign Passport that contains a temporary I-551 stamp or temporary I-551 printed notation on a machine-readable immigrant visa
- Employment Authorization Document that Contains a Photograph (Form I-766)
- Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) with Form I-797
- Foreign passport with Arrival/Departure Record (Form I-94)
- Passport from the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) with Form I-94/I-94A
- Passport from the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) with Form I-94/I-94A
- Foreign passport with Arrival/Departure Record (Form I-94) and Form I-20
- Foreign passport with Arrival/Departure Record (Form I-94) and Form DS-2019
- Receipt: Form I-94/I-94A w/Refugee Stamp
- Receipt: Form I-94/I-94A w/I-551 Stamp, photo
Document number validation has also been created for the U.S. Passport, U.S. Passport Card, and Social Security Card to ensure the accuracy of document numbers entered into the system.
Details Button Interaction
An issue has been resolved on mobile that caused users with a non-English language setting to not be redirected to the document list or next document when clicking Details on the My Onboardings page. Now users are redirected to the document list or next document when Details is selected regardless of the language setting.
Placement Dates Sync Feature
The Placement Dates Sync Feature allows Onboarding365 to automatically subscribe to Placement Change Events in Bullhorn. When Placement Dates are changed in Bullhorn, Onboarding365 will poll Bullhorn for what has changed. If any of the three Placement Date Fields (dateBegin, dateEnd, EstimatedDateEnd) are changed, Onboarding365 will retrieve the latest values from Bullhorn and update the corresponding date fields on the associated Onboarding365 Onboarding Record.
Onboarding Initiation Failures
An issue has been resolved that caused onboarding initiations to fail. Previously, users received intermittent “Data is Null” errors when initiating onboardings resulting in failed initiations. Now, users no longer receive “Data is Null” errors and are able to successfully initiate onboardings.
Direct Deposit Flowback
An issue has been resolved with Direct Deposit flowback. Previously, an error would occur during direct deposit flowback when the Remainder Deposit Type Account did not have the highest Payment Order number. Now, direct deposit flowback occurs successfully.
Metric Picker in Bulk Update Target Updates
An issue has been resolved where the metric picker in the Bulk Update Targets screen for a Target Admin would not update properly to allow a user to select multiple metrics in the list. Users can now select multiple metrics and get the correct targets based on the filters applied by clicking the download button.
More Info Errors in Deal Flashes
An issue has been resolved with deal flashes for a Gamification Admin. Previously, an error message would be displayed when the More Info button was selected. The error message would state an unexpected error has occurred and prompt the user to submit a ticket. This error no longer appears when clicking the More Info button.
Universal Data Connector
An issue has been resolved where invalid data being passed into Automation was causing syncs to fail. Now, an error will display when bad data is being parsed into Automation instead of failing the entire sync.
Erecruit Updates
The supported list criteria for erecruit clients has been updated to include Note Type conditions in Candidate & Contact based lists. Now when an erecruit client is creating a list based on recent activity, they can utilize the Note Type criteria in order to more accurately return records that have specific note types or have had certain notes added within a particular time frame.
Update Step
An issue has been resolved regarding the Update step that is configured to update a multi-value field back in the ATS. Previously, the configuration was causing records to not flow through this step. Now, when the Update step is configured to update a multi-value field back in the ATS, all data types that are translating back into the supported data type in the destination field are properly accounted for.
Trimmed Phone Numbers
An issue has been resolved where Australian and New Zealand phone numbers were trimmed when Automation was inserting those values back into the ATS. This was mainly impacting Australian and New Zealand candidates or contacts filling out surveys that had phone number information, as those regions have 10 or 11 digits. Now, when people from those regions are updating or adding their information through surveys, the correct amount of phone number digits flow into the ATS.
Invoice Tab on Placement Record
Bullhorn users can now quickly see all invoices on a placement by navigating to a new “Invoices” tab from the placement record page. This feature is available to all users who can currently view invoices without any additional configuration.
Pixid | Process Webhook Requests
VMS Sync now integrates with Pixid webhooks for both requisitions and submittals. This increases speed and performance for Pixid VMS transactions, reducing delay and improving reliability in ATS updates.
Beeline | Auth changed
VMS Sync has updated Beeline authentication logic to restore req processing.
Liquid Compass | Status flip Issue for “Canceled” Status Reqs
Updated backend parsing logic to set requisition status to “Cancelled” when appropriate. This eliminates status value discrepancy between VMS and ATS and reduces manual data correction.
Koncertit | Requisition Notes
VMS Sync now parses KoncertIT requisition notes. These notes usually contain details about candidate requirements and the interview process.
VMS Access – Beeline Requisition Attachments
VMS Access now retrieves requisition files from the following Beeline sections:
- Attachments
- Resume and Other Attachments
- Please Upload Detailed Job Description
Beeline has many unique buyers with varying field and section labels. Added backend handling to deliver important job files to the ATS as expected.
Processor Task
To ensure issues impacting timesheets are surfaced clearly to payroll administrators and to reduce the risk that a candidate doesn’t get paid, if a timesheet fails to be evaluated due to a missing location state, an issue item will be generated with guidance for how to resolve the problem.
Saved Search Functionality Added to Compliance List View
Credentialing specialists using the Compliance Manager Dashboard now have the ability to save their list searches and filters and add their saved searches to their favorites section. This allows the user to quickly reference specific placement information, job location, or custom data relevant to their business workflow.
Slideout: Notes Tab on Placement Certification Card
The ability to see notes related to a specific credential reference on a credential card within the requirements checklist (slideout) has been added. This will allow users to stay focused on relevant information related to a credential card they’re viewing.
Select Resume Button
An issue has been resolved on mobile with the Select Resume button. Previously the Select Resume button was positioned incorrectly on the screen causing it to be partially visible. Now the Select Resume button is correctly positioned on the screen and fully visible.
Select Files Option Update
The File Upload experience has been improved by hiding/disabling the upload button until a file is selected when the file upload is required.
Mini Picker: Allow Custom Values with Field Interaction
Clients can allow mini-pickers to save values that are not in the list, as they had in S-Release, and can now do so via a field interaction. This only applies to fields with the Mini Picker edit type and Allow Multiple Values field mapping configuration set to TRUE.
Example field interaction: API.form.controls.<field>.config.allowCustomValues = true;
Start-up Screen
An issue was resolved where opening a record redirected a user to the login page if they had “Tearsheets” selected as a startup item.
Placement.ClientCorpID Updates When When Records Merged
An issue was resolved where associated entities were not updated in Data Replication when records were merged. Combinations resolved:
- ClientCorpation: JobOrder
- Candidates: Submissions
- ClientContact: Submissions
My Profile
A Delete button has been added to the Education History and Work Experience drawers. Now, candidates can delete the previous Education History or Work Experience if they need to.
Einstein II | ReqList Now Recognizes isLocked Status
VMS Sync now recognizes when an Einstein II requisition is in a Locked status. Locked requisitions will show “-Locked” at the end of their Parsed Status value. This increases clarity on the Position Detail view and allows users to utilize Rules as needed to manage Locked requisitions.
Deleted Placement Credentials Appearing in Bullhorn Reporting
An issue was resolved in Bullhorn Reporting where reports were showing deleted Placement Credentials. Now, users will no longer see deleted Credentials in their reports.
User Management
The Users page in OTE has been updated to display active locked accounts. Additionally, the page now breaks users down into groups of pending, locked, active, and multi-customer, for easier viewing.
Login Page
When users with locked accounts attempt to log in to Onboarding Talent Edition, they will be shown a clear lock out message explaining why they cannot log in, enhancing their overall user experience and security awareness.
Sourcing Accelerator | Sidebar Not Recognizing Resume
Sourcing Accelerator has been updated to handle Dice delays better. This ensures the app recognizes and parses a Dice candidate resume as expected.
Sourcing Accelerator Not Closing When Back Button is Clicked
Sourcing Accelerator navigation for Indeed has been improved. The app now closes as expected when navigating away from the Candidate Details page, and launches and parses as expected on the Candidate Details page.
SSN Duplicate Check
An issue has been resolved regarding the SSN duplicate check response not displaying the candidate’s ID when a duplicate SSN existed in OTE or ATS, ensuring the correct display of candidate IDs during the process.
East Ridge | ReqLink
VMS Sync now provides a direct link to East Ridge VMS requisitions on the Position view of Admin Tools. This lets users quickly access the VMS job posting for review and candidate submission. Users with East Ridge credentials can reach out to VMS Sync Support to add a rule to show this VMS URL on ATS jobs or in notification emails.
Fieldglass | Submission Warning
New JSON property “Warning Submission Closed” added to Fieldglass positions. This property indicates when a Fieldglass position contains a warning message that new submissions are no longer being accepted.
Users with Fieldglass credentials are encouraged to contact VMS Sync Support to use this property in Rules. For example, if Warning Submission Closed is “true” on a Fieldglass position, a rule can be used to set an ATS Job Status to “Filled”.
Email Subject Configuration
The subject for the new document notification email can now be configured.
Admins can find this new translation by navigating to Company Settings > Translations and looking for the new translation labeled workflow_alert_newedocs_email_subject. The default value is “{company} new eDocs to complete”.
Added Support for New Area Codes
We’ve updated the list of valid area codes in Onboarding365. The following codes have been added:
- (656)
- (584)
- (263)
- (354)
- (468)
- (835)
- (557)
- (683)
- (826)
- (948)
- (368)
- (753)
- (943)
- (350)
- (464)
LiquidCompass | Email Parsing
VMS Sync now processes requisition emails from LiquidCompass. VMS Sync creates and updates LiquidCompass positions in the ATS when an email is received to the Credential email address. Users with LiquidCompass credentials are encouraged to review their current logins and list an appropriate fyresync.com email address in the VMS. This allows them to receive notifications of position activity and avoid potential processing delays.
MyWorkDay | wd3.myworkday.com Now Supported
VMS Sync now supports the “wd3” URL variant of MyWorkDay VMS. Users can add credentials with this URL variant to VMS Sync Admin Tools, allowing automated position creation and delivery.
“Lived In” Rule-Driven Documents
An issue was resolved with ‘Lived In’ rule-driven documents not syncing to Erecruit. Previously, when a user completed their Onboarding365 profile and a new document was added to the onboarding, due to where the onboarder lives, the new “Lived In” rule-drive document would not automatically be sent to Erecruit. Now, newly added “Lived In” rule-driven documents added during an onboarding will automatically be sent to Erecruit.
Onboarding Status
The Sync Applicant Workflow Progress to ATS setting has been updated so that the candidate’s onboarding status and document progress will now sync to Bullhorn ATS, providing better candidate onboarding status updates in the ATS.
Welcome Email Translations
An issue has been resolved regarding the fourth content translation option that was not applying to the Applicant Welcome Email. Now whenever this translation is configured, we are properly adding that to the Applicant Welcome Email.
Candidate Records
An issue has been resolved regarding the date of birth validation on the Preliminary Information page not matching up with the validation in WFM. Now, the validations between the two are consistent.
Updates to Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form
The English and Spanish translations of the Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability form have been updated to their most recent versions.
Application Performance
We have enhanced the loading time of the Settings page. When customers had a large amount of Second Signer records, they received more frequent timeouts when trying to access the System Settings page because we were loading all of those records to display as values in certain settings. Now when a client loads their System Settings, they won’t receive timeouts due to the number of Second Signer records that they have on their instance. Because of this, we have also updated the user setting page to now display a “Load Second Signers” button, instead of loading all second signers when the setting page is opened.
Onboarding365 Direct Deposit Flowback
An issue was resolved with Direct Deposit flowback between Onboarding365 and Bullhorn. Previously, an error would occur during Direct Deposit flowback when Onboarding365 sent a four digit number or higher. Now, when Onboarding365 sends a four digit number or higher it results in successful Direct Deposit flowback.
I-9 Details Panel
Recruiters can now conveniently access and review completed sections of the I-9 and accompanying documents in a centralized location on the I-9 Details Panel, facilitating document review.
Job Sync
An issue has been resolved that was preventing Jobs from Syncing from the Bullhorn ATS into OTE when using the Source field on the Job record in Bullhorn. Now when syncing the Source field on Jobs from the Bullhorn ATS to Onboarding Talent Edition, we are properly recognizing that field mapping and translating the data successfully.
Forms
Candidates who have completed a package of forms can now view and download individual forms separately, providing more flexibility and convenience.
“Source” is Required Field on the Form
Source is no longer required on the VMS Sync Submit to VMS form. This change benefits users who don’t set ATS Submission Source as required.
User Accounts
User accounts can now be locked and unlocked manually by admin users, allowing convenient restriction and restoration of system access.
Values Truncated on Certifications Tab
An issue was resolved on the Candidate and Placement Certifications tab. Previously, values in the table were getting truncated and users were unable to view the entire data string. Now, regardless of character count, users can view the full data string via a new hover tooltip.
I-9 Section 3 Document Title Field
Dropdown menus for the Document Title field in Section 3 have been added, allowing recruiters to easily select the appropriate List A or List C document for reverification purposes.
Analytics Tool
The analytics tool will now restrict data to six months. This will prevent the tool from timing out when requesting large sets of data.
Download Button Available Again
An issue was resolved where the download button disappeared on the Usage Stats report for all customers. The download button was added back to the usage stats reports so users can download a copy of the report in Excel format for further review.
Preliminary Info
An issue has been resolved regarding the address field headers on the Preliminary Information page that lacked Translation Keys for French, resulting in untranslated text. With this release, French users can now view translated field headers for a smoother user experience.
Basic Information
An issue has been resolved where applicants were receiving both a success toast and an error toast message after saving the Basic Information page in the Complete Profile workflow. While the values were being saved properly to the profile record, this was causing a lot of confusion for applicants as they were looking to proceed past the Basic Information page. Now upon saving the Basic Information page, we are correctly displaying either an error or success message based on the proper status of that save function while in the Complete Profile workflow.
Client Rate Agreement Support
An enhancement was made to add Client Rate Agreement matching Criteria fields.
I-9 Section 2
The validation for Alien Registration Number/USCIS Number in Section 2 has been updated to be more aligned with the formatting that USCIS specifies to reduce likelihood of confusion and error.
I-9 Section 3 Name Changes
We have introduced the capability for recruiters completing Section 3 name changes to upload documents evidencing name change simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate document upload process when handling candidates with name changes.
Works Health | Integration
VMS Sync now integrates with Works Health for requisition processing. This lets users automate the job creation and update process for Works Health VMS positions, increasing speed to market and reducing swivel.
Tasks Page
The scrolling experience on the tasks page in Talent Platform has been updated. The scroll bar will now be fixed to the tasks list so that users know where to scroll to view all tasks.

Branding
The UI of the branding page has been updated to be more easily navigable with a more straightforward user experience.

When a candidate is added through “Quick Add” the phone number field will now feature a country code dropdown, allowing selection of the country to which the phone number belongs, improving candidate accessibility, and enhancing the overall user experience for recruiters.
Dashboard Framework Updates
We have enhanced dashboards for Pay & Bill Dashboard users to offer more charting with grids and enhanced editing capabilities.
Editing capabilities include the following:
- Renaming a dashboard
- Add text and borders
- Add or view ratios
- Improved user experience
- Delete confirmation
- Panel tool tips
- Show unsaved changes
- Show full screen
With the latest set of changes, usability has been improved and more visualizations have been added.
API Enhancements
Our API’s have been updated to support passing the second signer external ID on Section 3 of the I-9 form in the GET Workflow Summary request of an Applicant. This update allows utilizing the second signer on I-9 forms with third party integrations that monitor and manage workflow documents.
I-9 Section 3 Work Authorization Reverification
For recruiters completing a Section 3 work authorization reverification, the word “Receipt” will now automatically be added to the document title when the “Receipt” checkbox is marked, eliminating the need for manual editing and ensuring accurate document name entry.
Metric Export
The Candidate Status header column on the survey response CSV exports has been updated to better reflect that the status relates to the automation engagement. Going forward, the column will show either “Candidate Survey Status” or “Candidate Chat Status” respectively. This update allows for differentiation from the “Candidate Status” column which reflects their status in the ATS.
Location Matching
Location logic has been updated for semantic matching to improve country and zip code analysis, leading to better quality job matching in the dynamic job matching and match candidate features.
Mass Mailings
A gap has been identified in our opt out service that handles errors when Automation tries to update a record that has opted out of mailings back into the ATS. Now when a record opts out of a Bullhorn Automation generated mailing and Automation is unable to update that record back in the ATS, we will generate an email to the record owner to signify that the record chose to opt out but we were unable to process their request and to update that record manually in the ATS.
Login Page
The Bullhorn Automation page has been updated to reflect our new branding. This helps create a more seamless experience with the application as well as the entire Bullhorn Product Portfolio.
List Criteria
The category in the conditions drop down has been updated to be labeled “Activity” instead of “Herefish Activity”. This more closely aligns with the values under that drop down category and also provides a more unified experience with the Bullhorn Automation application.
Email Templates
The standard content that is displayed within the Email Templates has been updated to reflect the new branding of Bullhorn Automation instead of Herefish.
Field Update Step
An issue has been resolved that caused incorrect skills to be removed from candidate and contact records when using the Update Automation step to clear skills. With this fix, candidate and contact skill data will now be accurately updated via automation steps, ensuring that essential skills information remains intact.
Record Management
An issue has been resolved regarding the Bullhorn Automation iFrame in the ATS allowing users to opt records back into being mailable. This was a potential issue if applicants had not approved of being opted back into mailings. Now recruiters are only able to manually opt records out of mailings from within the Automation iFrame in the Bullhorn ATS.
Web Form Required Fields
An issue has been resolved for agency created documents with Document Fill Type as “PDF with Web Form”. Previously, onboarders could submit a document without completing required checkbox fields on mobile devices. PDF with Web Form documents that contain a required checkbox now require an onboarder on a mobile device to make a selection before submitting the document.
Updated Tax Forms for 2023
West Virginia’s Withholding Form & Reciprocity Declaration has been updated for 2023.
Replaced Onboarding365 Icon in Bullhorn Novo
The Onboarding365 icon for the Onboarding365 Tile and the Onboarding365 Setup Tile in Bullhorn Novo have been replaced with the new Bullhorn icon logo.
MailingStateProvinceCode
An issue was resolved with flowback of the MailingStateProvinceCode. Previously, when flowback occurred between Onboarding365 and Bullhorn ATS the MailingStateProvinceCode field in Bullhorn ATS was incorrectly populated with the StateCode. Now, when flowback occurs the MailingStateProvinceCode field is correctly populated with the MailingStateProvinceCode.
Issues Log
An issue was resolved with the Issues Log. Previously, when a user mass initiated onboardings from the Candidate or Placement list view the Issues Log did not populate known failures from the mass initiation. Now, the Issues Log will populate all failures when a user mass initiates onboardings from the Candidate or Placement list view.
I-9 Dashboard 2.0 Filtering
Quick Select filter counts will display an accurate representation of numbers, ensuring consistency between toggled locations and dashboard results.
Automated Filling of Last Digit on Document Numbers
An issue was resolved where when completing I-9 Section 2 and selecting either Foreign Passport with I-94, Form I-20 or Foreign Passport with I-94, and Form DS-2019 from List A dropdown, the Form I-20 and DS-2019 were setting a “0” as the 11th last digit of the Document Number.
Population of Applicant Custom Fields
Integration with Bullhorn Novo has been enhanced. Data in Bullhorn can now flow back to Custom Applicant fields in Onboarding Talent Edition.
Notifications
Notifications for various time and date formats are now available. This allows candidates to receive time sensitive notifications in a format that is convenient and familiar to them.
Bullhorn Talent Platform: Scrolling on Homepage
When the Max Number of Tasks on Home Page setting is not defined, the home page will now display a maximum of five tasks by default. Additionally, if the max number of tasks is set and exceeds the visible part of the page, scrolling is now enabled for seamless navigation.
HTML Code Appearing in Survey Header and Send Text Survey Question
An issue has been resolved where HTML code was getting inserted into text based components on Surveys whenever they were added or modified. Now, whenever adding a survey or editing an existing survey with text components, the formatting of the text that has been entered is displayed back to the applicant properly.
Initiate Workflows Checkbox in Branch
An issue has been resolved that was causing the OTE Step Workflow settings to not display when the step existed within a branch. Now, whenever you add the OTE Step to an automation branch and choose to initiate a workflow, the workflow settings are properly displayed within the step configuration.
OTE Step in Placement and Submission Base Automations
An issue has been resolved where records were failing to be processed through the OTE Step from a Submission or Placement Based Automation. Now whenever an OTE Step is enabled on a Placement or Submission based automation, we are properly referencing the right applicant ATS ID on our requests to insert into OTE.
Semantic Job Match Edit Button
An issue has been resolved where the edit function of the Semantic Match settings tool wasn’t clickable. Now whenever a client is enabled for Semantic Match, they can access their Semantic Match settings to change things like Maximum Distance to match records on, Job Posting URL, etc.
View Metrics CSV Export
The Automation Metrics page now includes an option to export the report results as a CSV. Previously, you could only export to PDF which only offers an image output of the report results that does not allow the ability to manipulate and format the results for broader reporting purposes. This now more closely aligns with the overall Automation Metrics page which does offer the ability to Export as CSV.
Hover on Picker Values
A new feature is available that allows you to hover over a value in a drop down picker in order to display the full value text. The drop down pickers in Bullhorn Automation do not have dynamic sizing to fix the width of values that can return in the picker, so any value that exceeded the width of the picker was not visible in its entirety. Now when a value in a picker exceeds the picker list, you can see the full text value by hovering your cursor over it.
Skill Mappings – Support “None” medType
Skill Mappings now contain a “None” medType. This lets Skill Mapping users manage unlinked medSpecialty values that are missing a medType value. Clients with Rules referencing positions without a medType are encouraged to review their current configuration and work with Support to update Rules as needed to prevent req delay.
FocusOne getReq/getReqList | Positions and ReqLists Failing for All Variants
VMS Sync has updated our FocusOne credential authentication method to restore requisition delivery.
FlexTrack | Request To Capture Attachments
VMS Sync now parses Flextrack requisition attachments. This provides users with important requisition information not found in the VMS UI, reducing the need for users to manually update ATS jobs with missing VMS information.
CTM | Request to Pull Contract Orders from Assignments tab
Added ‘Position Type’ feature to CTM Credentials in VMS Sync. This lets users select which CTM requisitions are processed by VMS Sync – Shift (per diem), Assignment (contract long term) or All.
Acro XRM | Incorrectly Using “Contractors Work Location” Field for reqDetails.location
The Address selectors for all Acro credential variants to parse addresses from the correct VMS field was updated. This lets users accurately link values in Company/Flex Mapping, ensures location-based Rules apply to appropriate reqs, and reduces manual ATS Job updates.
LiquidCompass
VMS Sync now integrates with LiquidCompass for requisition processing. This integration was requested by the majority of our Healthcare VMS Sync users, and allows for automated creation and updating of ATS positions from this VMS portal.
“Update Candidate” Trigger
An issue was resolved where the “Updated Candidate” step in Zapier did not function as expected. Users will now be able to successfully trigger “Updated Candidate” actions through Zapier allowing them to perform automated actions in their Bullhorn ATS.
Message & Note Templates in Picker
An issue was resolved where users with over 200 templates were unable to find and select recently added Message and Note templates. Picker filter dropdowns for Message and Note templates will now display the most recently modified template in their system. We have feature work to address the limitation of the search functionality for Message and Note templates coming in a future release.
All Menu Actions Available in Bowling Alley
An issue was resolved where some Menu actions would disappear for users on certain browser resolutions. Now the “Parse Resume” and “Close All Tabs” actions will always appear in the bowling alley. The fix also applies to the “Cancel”, “Save”, and “Delete” actions on record add/edit pages.
Record Creation
An issue was resolved with our LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect integration where Bullhorn users with an apostrophe in their name were unable to be added to the Bullhorn ATS when utilizing the 1-Click Export option in LinkedIn.
Inline Edits to DHTML fields
An issue was resolved where some users were unable to edit DHTML fields on lists.
Horizontal Line Breaks
An issue was resolved where horizontal line breaks were not saving on DHTML fields.
Notification When 150 Character Limit Reached
The Fast Find search box has been updated to display a message when the maximum length of the text searched exceeds the restricted 150 characters. The same limitation is applied to the REST API call. This is to ensure consistent and performant searching.
ATS User Interface Error: The search text is truncated or limited to 150 characters and the user is informed about the limitation with a message as shown in the screenshot below.
REST API Error: Error 400 is returned to the user if the search text is longer than 150 characters and the search is not executed. The message returned is: “Operation not supported: please limit your search to less than 150 characters”
Certification Progress Bar on Candidate Records
Users now have the ability to view the certification status progress bar on the Placement Certification Overview card located on a candidate record. This allows credentialing specialists to quickly view the progress of their candidate credentials regarding a placement and take action on needed items to ensure they’re in compliance.
Certification Count on Candidate Credentials Tab
Users now have the ability to view the total amount of certifications listed on a placement card when viewing from a Candidate Record by navigating to the Credential tab > Placement Credential Requirement View. The “Total Results” count includes the number of active and archived certifications seen when the placement card is expanded. This will allow a credentialing specialist to easily monitor the number of credentials needed for a given placement to stay compliant.
Job Submission Workflow for Custom Fields
An issue was resolved where custom fields on job submissions would not save when adding a job submission record via record overview workflow steps.
Placement Start Date
An issue was resolved where the Placement start date would default to 12/31/1969 if the record was created from a workflow icon or from fast add. The start date value will now default to the current date in the Placement add form.
Lead & Opportunity References Reminder Email
An issue was resolved where Lead & Opportunity references were missing from reminder emails. Now, when a task references a Lead or Opportunity and is set to have a reminder email, that email will now contain a reference and hyperlink to that Lead and or Opportunity.
Company Record Tab Counts
An issue was resolved where some users experienced tab counts not loading on the Company entity.
Special Characters Added via SOAP
An issue was resolved where special characters were converted to HTML code when added via SOAP.
Basic Support for Rate Cards
We are now able to provide basic support for Rate Card data in Bullhorn on the placement metric in Bullhorn Analytics. We can more reliably integrate rate card data from Bullhorn to be displayed on placement metrics such as Total Placements when the Charge Rate or Pay Rate fields are made visible on the metric.
Support for Direct Labor Cost in Gross Margin Reporting
We are now able to support Direct Labor Costs (DLC) from Prism HR in the Gross Margin report calculation. The DLC can now be configured to be deducted from the gross margin report calculation to reduce the overall value and align closer to the profitability measure that looks at a company’s gross profit compared to its revenue or sales. Users can see the direct labor costs as separate rows in the gross margin details.
Please work with the CS or Implementation team to set up DLC in the Gross Margin metric calculation. For more information see Pay & Bill Metrics and Data.
Improved Font Usage
We have improved font usage throughout the User Interface in the app so the fonts look consistent, load quickly, and are more maintainable. We have ensured all fonts have a fallback font type, such as Arial or Sans-Serif. We have enhanced the code to allow for easier maintenance of font changes in the future.
Examples:
- Montserrat: Verdana is a close match and is found on most systems, sans-serif is the fallback alias.
- Oxygen: Arial is a close match and is found on most systems, sans-serif is the fallback alias.
Edit User’s Group History without Errors
An issue was resolved where setting the group history will no longer provide an authentication error when editing a user’s group history for a specific user by a Group Admin user. Previously, the Group Admin user may have received an authentication error message stating “The user is restricted to login only via Bullhorn ATS and cannot have its username changed” when trying to edit a user’s group history.
Invoice Calculation
An enhancement was made to support including the margin calculation on PA invoices when taxing on margin percentage. New variable on the PDF «EmployeeCosts»
Internationalization: List Full County Name in Candidate Address Dropdown
The applicant portal now displays the full name of the county when entering an international address. This makes it easier for recruiters and candidates to identify and select the correct state, province, or county.
Applicant Preferred Language (Resolved Issue)
Previously, when a preferred language was selected for a candidate in WFM, the language was not respected when the candidate logged in to the candidate portal. This feature now works as designed.
Change ADP WOTC Polling Resource URL
The ADP WOTC polling endpoint URL has been updated to enable faster recognition of a completed WOTC form, which more reliably enables the “Next” button for applicants. This makes for a smoother onboarding experience as applicants are completing their required forms within the applicant portal.
Localize Language in List C SSN Validation Message
Administrators can now customize the SSN validation warning message in Section 2, allowing them to specify the message that their authorized representatives will see when entering a candidate’s SSN in List C that does not match with the SSN in Section 1.
Submit Button Fails (Resolved Issue)
Previously, applicants were not properly redirected to the main Professional References page after adding a new professional reference when the client was configured to require more than 0 professional references. This was causing a behavior where the page would not refresh to display added references, resulting in duplicate references being added. This issue has been resolved.
Philadelphia Municipality Non-resident EIT Rate
Previously, the Non-resident EIT rate for the Philadelphia Municipality was displayed as 3.45. Now it is correctly displayed as 3.44.
Multi-Line Text Box
Previously, if a multi-line text box was marked as ‘required’ and was dependent upon another field on the form to display, the multi-line text box still functioned as a required field regardless of if the dependency was met or not. Now, a ‘required’ multi-line text box with a dependency will respect the criteria of its dependency.
Updated Error Message
We have updated the error message when a Bullhorn ATS user has changed accounts to be more clear on how to re-login to Analytics when Single Sign-On (SSO) is used for authentication. The user now has a more simplified method for logging in as the current ATS user.
Shows Metric Picker When Metric is Filterable By Client (Resolved Issue)
Previously, when picking metrics, any metrics that override whether they can be filtered by client continue to display based on the template. The metric picker now shows correctly when a metric is filterable by client.
“Show Rows for Users with No Data” Button (Resolved Issue)
Analytics Admin users are now no longer displayed when the “Show Rows for Users with No Data” checkbox is selected.
Erecruit: Fields Not Clearing (Resolved Issue)
Previously, when updating or removing an existing value on a record, the record was not properly updated back in Bullhorn Automation for Invenias, Erecruit & Salesforce customers. Now, when a record is updated to remove an existing value, that record is properly updating back in Automation.
Hide Survey Responses in Record Activity
Survey Settings has a new feature that allows you to hide the survey responses from the Activity Feed in the record view within the ATS. This is beneficial for clients utilizing Bullhorn Automation Surveys to collect EEOC or other confidential data but don’t want their recruiters to have access to those responses within the Automation tab in the Bullhorn ATS.
View Metrics Criteria
The individual Automation Metrics now include a date criteria picker that allows customers the ability to return metrics for their automation based on the date of the automation event. This aligns more closely with the functionality of the overall automation metrics page and improves the performance of the report by returning smaller sets of data. By default this will now return the metrics for the past seven days worth of activity on the automation and offers the standard date ranges of the last 7, 30, 60 and 90 days. Customers can also select a custom date range that can be configured to return data as far back as needed.
Salesforce Clients: Multiselect Fields Not Saving Back to SF Environments (Resolved Issue)
Previously, the data writeback functionality of field update steps & engagement questions were not properly setting the semicolon as the delimiter if multiple values were selected. Now when Salesforce, Invenias, or Erecruit clients have a semicolon as their multi-value delimiter, we are properly respecting that when writing back multiple value answers to their ATS.

VMS Sync has improved our error handling to prevent timeout errors from disabling working VNDLY Credentials.

VMS Sync now executes form triggers on Bullhorn Job upload. This allows custom ATS automations to fire as expected.

Updated VMS field handling to successfully authenticate AyaConnect credentials. This allows Sync to process reqs as expected.
Invoice Rebill Suffix (Resolved Issue)
Invoice Rebill Suffix will now be set consistently during Invoice finalization.
Invoice Statement Template
Invoice Statement Templates now support the ability to display Total Dollar Amount by Earn Code type on an Invoice. These are new variables and will need to be added to any existing Invoice Templates. Reach out to support to modify your Invoice Templates.
Earn Code Group Updates
If an EarnCodeGroup or associated EarnCode is being used on a Bill or Pay transaction, or a Placement Rate Card, users will no longer be able to update the following fields preventing inaccurate data from being processed unexpectedly:
- EarnCodeGroup
- accruesOT
- payBillOptionsLookup
- unitOfMeasureID
- chargeTypeLookupID
- EarnCode
- code
Client Rate Agreements
Specialty has been added to the Matching Application Criteria on Client Rate Agreement. This ensures that as Jobs are being created, the Client Rate Agreement will flow down to the same Job each corporation sets up at a more precise level.

Custom text fields are now available for reporting on Unbilled Revenue Distributions in Bullhorn Reporting.
Date Fields
An issue was resolved to ensure the correct “start date” and “end date” would display on the “Work History tab” when the user is in a time zone west of Eastern Standard Time. This fix includes the display of any custom date fields placed under the “Work History” tab.
Display Results (Resolved Issue)
An issue was resolved in Shift Scheduler to correct the handling of overnight shifts that crossed work weeks. Now when an overnight shift starts on the last day of the work week and ends on the first day of the following work week, the shift will appear as appropriate on the Candidate and Company Scheduler views.
WordPress OSCP Mobile Flex-Direction (Resolved Issue)
An issue was resolved in the Career Portal WordPress Plugin where the job information chips were shown on top of the job title when viewing postings on a mobile device. To receive this update, the plugin version will need to be upgraded to 3.4.2.
Indeed Toast Message (Resolved Issue)
An issue was resolved that affected users configured to publish jobs to Indeed by default. Users were seeing an error message that the job will not be posted until the job was republished even when that step wasn’t necessary. The message will now only show when republishing is necessary.

An issue was resolved where the “My Account Watch” dashboard card would not display recent emails containing configured “trigger words”.
German – My Activity Dashboard (Resolved Issue)

The Opportunities Over Time dashboard card was updated so that French users see the text “ajouté” rather than “ajoutéé”. To see this update, users must remove and re-add the card to their dashboard.

iCims Reqs Failing for Wellstar (Resolved Issue)
The authentication method was updated to log in to iCims successfully. This prevents Sync from throwing false errors and disabling credentials with valid logins such as “Unable to create a client with job configuration: Unknown response on authorization”.

VMS Sync now parses the following FocusOne requisition fields: Shift Description, Bill Rate, Affiliate Rate, OT Bill Rate, Affiliate OT Rate, and Guaranteed Hours. This improves the accuracy of ATS Job data.

Deal Music has been defaulted to “No deal music”
The “I Need A Dollar” will be removed as the default “new deal music” for the Gamification module in Bullhorn Analytics. Bullhorn will no longer provide any default deal music. However, we are enabling customers with the option to upload their own deal music. Each customer/user will be asked to confirm that they have the appropriate license(s) for the music file(s) they choose to upload.
Unable to Close ‘Non Client filterable Metrics selected’ Pop-Up Window
An issue was resolved with the ‘Non Client filterable Metrics selected’ pop-up window not being able to close due to the missing close button. Initially, the problem arose when a metric is selected that is not client filterable and the “more info” hyperlink is selected, then the pop-up window close button is missing. This is now resolved where the close button is now available to close the pop-up window.
Usage Stats Report Extended to All Customers
We have enhanced the usage stats reports to offer more flexibility to customers to view audit activity data by extending this report to all customers regardless of their license tier. The usage stats report can be found under Menu > Usage Stats.
Cannot Save Newly Created Target
An issue was resolved by creating a new target, the user is unable to save the target or clear the validation error when a metric is not selected. When the “Set Target” button is pressed for a new target with no metric set, a validation error displays prompting to select a metric in the drop-down box. After the metric is selected, the validation error is not cleared and the “Set Target” button remains disabled not allowing a user to save and create the new target. The validation error clearing and disabled save target button issues have both been resolved.
Changes to Individual User Targets updates All Users/Groups
An issue was resolved with the target management screen in Admin settings where after a bulk update of targets is processed when a change to an individual user target occurs then the target changes for all users and groups. Updating a target individually is now independent of the Bulk Update target process.
Add Task Step
The functionality behind the Add Task automation step has been updated to allow erecruit clients the ability to configure the values for some of the standard parameters that get passed back when Automation adds a Task to erecruit. Clients can specify what values they want to pass in with Tasks on the following parameters:
- Task Action Dropdown
- Note Action Id
- Priority Id
- Scheduled Item Type Id
- Status Id
Support Add Tasks Step for Erecruit
We have built out support for the Add Task automation step for erecruit clients. Previously, erecruit clients weren’t able to utilize this automation step but now we have incorporated a new erecruit add task api end point into our automation service. Clients are now able to create add task steps in their automation to better support their follow on actions from prior automation steps.
Survey Responses Updating Bullhorn Prior to Survey Submission (Resolved Issue)
With this release, we have resolved an issue with our Engagement service that was writing back multiple answers to a field in the ATS. Historically this was overwriting the prior selected answer so that we were only actually writing back 1 response to the ATS when the engagement recipient had selected multiple answers. Now when an engagment has a question set to allow multiple answers and write back to a field in the ATS, we are correctly writing back all of the selected answers to the ATS.
Record Updates (Resolved Issue)
Syncs will now process all records captured in the hourly sync within the expected timeline.
View Dashboard Metrics (Fuse, Loyal Source, Apex)

I-9 Section 2 List A Form I-766 Issuing Authority (Resolved Issue)

Authorized Representative Name Displayed in HelloSign (Resolved Issue)
The last name and first name of the employer or authorized representative that is present on the I-9 Section 2 when the ‘Submit and Electronically Sign’ button is pressed will now display properly in HelloSign. Previously, if the name was changed, HelloSign would not display the appropriate name.
Candidate Can Finish and Sign Form Without Uploading a Required File (Resolved Issue)
Forms that require a file to be uploaded will now prevent the candidate from continuing until they have uploaded a file. Previously, candidates were able to advance without uploading a file.

The Talent Platform and Legacy Applicant Portal will now automatically adjust field labels for United Kingdom and Ireland addresses, creating ease of use for candidates located in these countries.
Assign Default Language Set When Enable Multi-Language Support Toggled On

New and Updated Canvas Reports
We added two new reports and updated three existing reports to our standard Pay & Bill Canvas report package:
New Reports:
- Invoice Register Details
- Approved Placement with Current Rate Card Details
Updated Reports:
- Transaction Master Detail Reports v6
- Transaction Master Summary Reports v6
- Transaction Master Summary Exceptions Report v2
Updating to the latest version of the report will need to be requested so that any customizations to your existing report aren’t overwritten.
Enhanced Rate Visibility on Job and Placement
Bullhorn now offers the ability for base pay and bill rates on the rate card to be displayed within the built-in pay rate and bill rate fields on a Placement and/or Job record. Updates to a base pay or bill rate on the rate card will automatically be reflected on the respective records’ built-in fields. This allows users to visualize accurate pay and bill information on list screens, quickly view rates from the record itself, and retrieve accurate rates from the API. In addition, if there is a future effective dated rate card, then the base pay and bill rate from that rate card will automatically display on the respective record on the day the new rate card takes effect.
GeneralLedgerAccount Added
GeneralLedgerAccount is now available for reporting in Data Replication with EMS.
Delete button on CRFs on Placement Tab
Deleting a CRF version allows you to delete an individual CRF version if there are multiple versions or delete a CRF from a placement entirely when deleting the only CRF version.
Support for Adding a New Version of CRFs on a Placement
Creating a new version allows you to proactively add or subtract values from a placement CRF and set the date on which the changes will take effect.
Entity Visibility on Custom Tab “More” Dropdown (Resolved Issue)
Users are now able to scroll to view all record custom and standard tabs on entity records under the “More” dropdown.
Bullhorn for Gmail Actions (Resolved Issue)
An issue was resolved with the Bullhorn for Email gadget that produced an error when using an action in Chrome Browser.
Removing Notification of Current Data Replication Version from Logs
The version notification was removed upon Data Replication Startup as the information provided was no longer relevant.
New Endpoint for Self Seed Specific IDs to API Call
Data Mirror admins now have the ability to determine specific sets of data that are part of a self-seed to reduce the volume of records that are part of the self-seed call.
Bullhorn Release Rewind | Q1 2023
Check out our Bullhorn Release Rewind video for a recap of the most important product release updates from Q1 2023!
Add CRM ID to User Admin Page
An improvement was made to display the CRM ID associated with each Analytics user in the Activate new users, Orphan Users, Inactive Users, and Manage activated users screens. This will allow a smoother SSO user activation process in the future.
Usage Stats Count
An issue was resolved with the Usage Stats report in Analytics to properly count audit events in a given day. Previously, it was providing inaccurate results by calculating only 1 audit event per day.
Manage Client Sets Dialog
An issue was resolved with the OneView filtering for managing client sets where the client set will now expand properly to view and edit the client picker and client set configurations.
Placement and Submission Automations
With this release we have resolved an issue where individual Placement, Submission or Job based automation metrics were timing out if either there were a large amount of records that have processed through the selected automation or there is a significant amount of Placement, Submission or Job based data within the client instance. Now whenever opening one of these automation types, we are ensuring that the metrics behind the automation won’t stop the automation from opening as well as returning the associated metrics in a more performant manner.
Candidates Skills in ATS and in Bullhorn Automation
With this release we have addressed a scenario where the Bullhorn ATS is only returning a set of 5 one-to-many associations on a record if no specific returned count on the association is specified. Now whenever we sync records from the ATS, we are going to automatically pull in up to 50 of each one-to-many associations for that record that include Business Sectors, Categories, Skills and Specialties.
Auto-Add Applicant to Onboarding Talent Edition Integration
We have built a new multi-function automation step that enables our Bullhorn Onboarding Talent Edition (BOTE) customers automate their workflows to add records into BOTE and then also generate workflows to those applicants. When the step is enabled, clients have the ability to auto add applicants to BOTE via the ATS from Placement, Submission and Candidate based automations. They can also choose to generate workflows via BOTE as a quick follow on action within the same step. This unlocks a lot of value for those clients who are bogged down by the manual efforts of adding applicants to BOTE and then manually sending individual workflows that are standardized for the majority of their placements. When this step is enabled on a Placement based automation, we are also going to associate that workflow with the associated Placement within BOTE. This helps ensure that all workflows for Applicants align with their Placements.
Support For eRecruit Entity Links in Notifications
With this release we have added support for the ‘View In ATS’ hyperlink in email notifications for eRecruit customers. Now whenever eRecruit clients have configured their email notifications to include a ‘View in ATS’ hyperlink we will allow recruiters to open the associated record in their eRecruit instance.
Placement, Jobs and Submission Based Automation Re-entry Settings
With this release we have updated our logic that processes records via the Re-Entry model to catch an edge case where records that don’t meet the criteria to be passed through an automation multiple times were being re-processed.
Staffbridge Credential Authentication
Updated backend logic to check for multiple error messages when authenticating with Staffbridge Credentials. This prevents our code from auto-disabling working Staffbridge logins when more than one error is encountered in the VMS, and processes requisitions for delivery as expected.
Github SSH Keys
GitHub has updated their public key, so backend updates have been made to our logic to pull our code on startup as expected.
Acro VMS Credentials
VMS Sync has added a Credential feature to Acro VMS credentials to process both Light Industrial and Professional/Clerical requisitions. Users can now update their credential configuration to pull all requisition types and reduce manual job entry.
Interview Field
Checkbox groups on forms were only saving the first selection, this has been resolved and the number of boxes selected are now retained.
Web Time Entry Display
We have resolved an issue where the Web Time Entry navigation menu was not displaying when the Applicant Portal was loading the new Talent Platform pages. Now when an Applicant is logging tino the Talent Platform Portal where the client has the Web Time Entry integration enabled, we will display the Web Time Entry navigation menu item, no matter the page that is loaded.
I-9 Section 2
The authorized representative’s name in Section 2 will be validated against the candidate’s name in Section 2 to ensure the candidate is not completing their own Section 2.
I-9 Section 2
When ‘Employment Auth. Document (Form I-766)’ is selected from List A, the issuing authority will automatically display ‘U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.’
I-9 Section 2
When an authorized representative changes the Section 2 document selection for an alien authorized to work, they can now proceed with signing as long as all visible fields pass validation. Previously, there was an issue preventing the authorized representative from signing in some instances.
Placement Status Sync
With this release we have introduced a new way to empower recruiters to engage with their Applicants who are going through the Onboarding process. Now with this release, clients can enable several fields on the Placement record in their ATS where Onboarding Talent Edition will write back to in order to provide an easier way to monitor and track the progress of their Applicants. Now when you initiate a workflow that is associated with a Placement, the status of that Onboarding Workflow will track back to the Placement record in the ATS.
Exemption Toggle Correctly Set
An issue was resolved with the withholding documents for California, Maryland, Missouri, Kansas, Rhode Island, and Iowa. Previously, when clients had the feature enabled that flows back state tax information from Onboarding 365 to Bullhorn (PLA/System Setting ‘onboarding365StateTaxInfoFlowback’), the ‘Is Exempt’ field would not correctly set for the aforementioned forms. Now, the ‘Is Exempt’ field will correctly set.
“Request New Credential” Enhancement
We’ve expanded upon the “Request New Credential”user experience. Through a previous release, we added a modal that allowed users to free-type a request reason. Through this release, we’ve created a Private Label Attribute (PLA) called ‘Onboarding365RequestNewCredentialReason’ that will turn the aforementioned modal to a dropdown list if the PLA has values listed in it. If the PLA does not have any listed values, then the modal will continue to function as a free-type field.
Fields From Indiana’s Tax Forms Sync
Issues were resolved with forms WH-4 and WH-4MIL for the state of Indiana. Previously, when clients had the feature enabled that flows back state tax information from Onboarding 365 to Bullhorn (PLA/System Setting ‘onboarding365StateTaxInfoFlowback’), the fields: “Qualifying Dependents Exemption”, “You are 65 or older”, “You are blind”, “Spouse 65 or older”, and “Spouse is blind” from form WH-4 and the field “Spouse’s Social Security Number” from form WH-4MIL did not populate in Bullhorn’s State Tax Modal. Now, all values inputted in Onboarding365 for the aforementioned fields on WH-4 and WH-4MIL populate in the State Tax Modal in Bullhorn.
isWorkFromHome Field Populating on Job Entity
An issue was resolved for the isWorkFromHome field on the Job entity. Previously, the isWorkFromHome field was appearing on the Job List View and on the header and details card of a Job record when the field was set to hidden. Now, the isWorkFromHome field will not appear on the Job entity unless the field is added to View Layout and enabled.

Adding Units to a Timecard
An issue was resolved adding units to a timecard in BTE would cause an additional $0 pay transaction to show up in Bullhorn on the Payable Charge.
Resizable Columns
The ability to resize columns on Novo lists was added. This will affect all main entity Novo list tables (i.e. P&B lists, tearsheets, etc.).
Mass Action on Tearsheets
An update was made to ensure that the Change Status option under the Mass Actions for Candidates on Tearsheets is not available to a user if the “Mass Update Candidate Status” entitlement is disabled.
Phone Number Parsing
Clients using Sovern 10 will be able to indicate if a phone number from a resume with a single phone number is parsed into the Primary Phone field or the Mobile Phone field of the Candidate record. This replicates functionality currently available for clients utilizing Sovern 7. The default for Sovern 10 is to parse the first phone number on a resume (single or multiple) into the Mobile phone field. The update can be made by Bullhorn Support.
Paycheck Visibility
Bullhorn users leveraging PrismHR for payroll now have access to a general version of their candidate’s paycheck information through a tab on their candidate record. This update allows recruiters to provide candidates with basic paycheck-related information directly through the ATS without needing to send them to their payroll department, streamlining both the candidate and user experience. (Note: PrismHR will fully complete this feature by the end of April.) Clients that are using other integrated payroll providers can work with their providers to determine if their system has the ability to write back to Bullhorn ATS.
Mass Action on Opportunity and Lead Lists
Updates have been made to the Opportunity and Lead lists so that mass actions taken will create the appropriate edit history log for each record updated. These edit history records will also sync to Data Replication with EMS to ensure all records are accurately reported.
Job Submissions Tab Visibility
Updates have been made to address a parity issue between S-Release and Novo on the Submissions tab on a Job. With this update, users will only see Placements in the Placement table if they have access to view the candidate tied to the Placement. If the user has the “View Department Candidate” entitlement enabled, the user will only see Placements where the Candidate is owned by a user within the same department. If the user has the “View Any Candidate” entitlement, the user will continue to see all Placements.
Custom People Objects
An update was made to Data Replication with EMS to ensure that clients using Custom People Objects 11 thru 35 will see those custom objects replicated appropriately in their database to further improve data accuracy.
Syncing Process
An update has been made to Data Replication with EMS to ensure that if there is an interruption during the syncing process, any records that were in the process of syncing before the outage will be processed when the service is back online.
Customer Required Fields (CRF)
Customer Required Fields will leverage data entered by the candidate when entering their time to be included in billing. Customer Required Fields are custom fields (drop downs) that are unique for each company and contain information specific to that client that can then be used to split, group, and summarize invoices. Customer Required Fields will also be available on the invoice document.
Some examples of Customer Required Fields are project codes or worksite numbers. Customer Required Fields will greatly help streamline data collection and invoice processing while decreasing the likelihood of human error. They will do this by providing the ability to define standardized fields that are configured at the company and placement, available to select during time entry and will flow through the invoicing process.
Recipients Field
We resolved an issue with Bullhorn Reporting to ensure that if a user is removed from the recipient list of a scheduled report they will no longer receive that scheduled report.
Agency Setting – Capture Direct Deposit Bank Address (Canada)
We’ve created a new setting called ‘Capture Bank Address’ for the Canadian Direct Deposit form that can be found on the Direct Deposit settings page under the ‘Advanced’ tab. This new setting will be toggled on by default, but users can toggle the setting off resulting in the Direct Deposit form not showing or capturing ‘Bank Address’ on Desktop and Mobile.

I-9 Section 1 Application Assigned Validation
Updated ‘Applicant Assigned’ validation warning to replace the words ‘Second Signer’ with ‘Authorized Representative’.
I-9 Section 1 List B Driver’s License and State ID Document Numbers
Created a validation to the following List B documents so that the document number is required and the maximum document number length is 17 alphanumeric characters.
- Drivers License Issued by State or Territory
- ID card issued by state or territory
I-9 Section 1 Scrolling
Improved scrolling through the fields in Section 1 to create a smoother experience and reduce confusion.
I-9 Section Native Tribal Document
List B and List C will now dynamically update to permit ‘Native American Tribal Document’ to be used only once per Section 2.
Hiding Completed Tasks
With this release we have resolved an issue where the new tasks dashboard and tasks page were not respecting the ‘Hide Complete Profile in the Task List’ setting. Now when that setting is enabled, we are no longer displaying the Complete Profile task on either the Home Page and or the main Tasks Page.
Applicant “My Tasks” Page
With this release we have resolved an issue where applicants weren’t able to scroll to view more Tasks than were displayed on the available screen. If there were more tasks than what were allowed to be viewed within the available screen users were unable to scroll to view the remaining Tasks. Now when an Applicant has more tasks than can fit on the resolution of their Desktop screen, we will provide them the ability to scroll to view the remaining tasks.
Simplify VMS 2.0 Request to Support Position Attachments
Simplify VMS – VMS Sync now parses requisition attachments. This provides users with important requisition information not found in the VMS UI, reducing the need for users to manually update ATS jobs with missing VMS information.
Fieldglass | Request to Capture Buyer-Specific Chat Messages
Fieldglass – VMS Sync now captures company-specific chat messages. This ensures all buyer comments posted to VMS positions are attached to the ATS Job, eliminating the need for manual updates.
FocusOne | Request to Support Position Attachments
Focus One – VMS Sync now parses requisition attachments. This provides users with important requisition information not found in the VMS UI, reducing the need for users to manually update ATS jobs with missing VMS information.
Submittals – Add Submittal Status to IF/THEN Rule Options
VMS Sync’s Rule Engine now supports Submittal statuses. Submittals users can bypass the VMS Sync Submittal Status Mapping dashboard and use rules to set ATS Submission Status by VMS Submission Status. This lets users tightly define ATS Submission statuses.
Einstein2 v2 Integration
VMS Sync now integrates with Einstein2 v2 for requisition processing. This integration was requested by the majority of our Healthcare VMS Sync users, and allows for automated creation and updating of ATS positions from this VMS portal.
Vizient Position Attachments
Vizient Position attachments are now supported. This delivers additional position info to the ATS Job.
Column Filter as Picker Option
Users searching on the Payable Charges or Invoices lists can now save time when using an entity column filter by selecting filter criteria from a searchable options list.
Placement and List View Drop-Down & Pop-Ups
An update has been made to the titles of the modal windows for clients utilizing the fr_FR locale setting which removes the hardcoded article (le, la, etc.) displayed before the field map value for the Update dropdown within the Placement List and Candidate List views. Clients using the fr_FR locale setting can opt to include the appropriate article within the field map. No other locales will be affected by this update.
- Placement
- payRate
- dateBegin
- dateEnd
- Candidate List View
- skillID
- categoryID
- specialtyCategoryID

Version Update
The Jackson library that handles the serialization and deserialization of requests in Data Replication with EMS has been updated to v2.9.10.

New Job Custom Text and Custom Integer Fields in Bullhorn Reporting
Bullhorn Reporting (FKA Canvas) has been updated so that customText21 thru customText40 and customInt4 thru customInt8 are available within the Job entity for reporting.
Support Add Notes Step For eRecruit
With this release we have updated our functionality with eRecruit clients to support the ‘Add Note’ step in our Candidate & Contact entity based automations. Now eRecruit clients will be able to better track any of the record activity in their automations by adding follow-on notes back into eRecruit.
Bullhorn Release Rewind | Q4 2022
Check out our Bullhorn Release Rewind video for a recap of the most important product release updates from Q4 2022!
Semicolon Support on Multi-Value Updates to Salesforce
With this release we have added support for our Salesforce, eRecruit and Invenias clients that use a semicolon as their multi-value deliminator instead of a comma. Now when implementing a Salesforce client on Bullhorn Automation, you are able to differentiate between those Salesforce clients that use a comma or semicolon as their multi-value deliminator so that when we sync & update data to and from Salesforce, we are properly accounting for those fields that have multiple values separated by different deliminators.
Changing Private Tearsheets to Public
With this release we have resolved an issue where the association of records to Private Tearsheets were not syncing into Bullhorn Automation when the Tearsheet was then moved to Public in the ATS. Now whenever those Private Tearsheets get moved to Public, Automation will properly reflect those Tearsheets on the associated records.
Automation Service Query
With this release, we have updated the stale automation service to ignore automations that have records actively processing through the step assignments, no matter how long the records have been in progress through the automation. Now the automation service will disable those automations that have not been added or modified within the past 60 days and don’t currently have any records actively processing through the step assignments.
New Flowback Setting – ‘When not empty in Onboarding365’
We’ve created a new Onboarding365 mapping overwrite setting titled ‘When not empty in Onboarding365’. When a field is set up to flowback with this new setting, data from that field will flowback from Onboarding365 to Bullhorn except when the field is empty, blank, or null in Onboarding365.
Flowback Support For Onboarding365 References
We’ve enhanced flowback so that it now supports sending reference data from Onboarding365 to Bullhorn. Information captured in each field on a reference in Onboarding365 can now be configured to flowback to Bullhorn.
Flowback Support for Documents with multiple file uploads in Onboarding365
All file attachments associated with an Onboarding365 document, configured to allow multiple file uploads, will now flowback to Bullhorn. Bullhorn users will be able to preview and download these file attachments in Bullhorn.
Added New System Setting
Created a new System Setting for the State Tax Flowback feature ‘onboarding365StateTaxInfoFlowback’, this will replace the old setting ‘onboarding365TaxInfoFlowback’. This change was made to prevent confusion by making this setting more specific, especially since we’ve introduced a setting for the flowback of federal tax information in the last release.
Added a Record to the Financial Institution Table in ONB365
We updated the Financial Institution table for the Canadian Direct Deposit form. Candidates will now be able to input values associated with President’s Choice Bank on the Canadian Direct Deposit form.
Enhanced Scorable Documents – ‘Show Scorable Document Results’
We’ve enhanced the scorable documents by adding a new setting ‘Show Scorable Document Results’. When this setting is enabled on a document users will now see incorrect and correct answers highlighted on their scored document. This will give users a higher probability of passing a re-issued scorable document if the user failed their previous attempt.
Scorable Documents that have this setting enabled and have been added to an onboarding package can not have their form fields updated. HR users who attempt to will be presented with the following error message “This document has been assigned to an onboarder, so no edits to the web form are allowed. Please make a copy if edits are needed.”
Updated Tax Forms for 2023
Tax forms were updated for:
- Missouri
- Indiana
- New York
- Connecticut
- Oregon
- Federal W-4
- Northwest Territories
Placement Automations
In order to improve the user experience, when adding a new placement automation the page will automatically shift focus to the new automation add/edit component at the bottom of the page.
Placement Automations
In order to improve page load times and performance, placement automations will load collapsed by default. In addition, we’ve added a search bar to filter the automations instead of having to scroll the page.
Form Manager
Duplicate options have been removed from the Form Manager when editing/adding a component field to a non-Interview form.
ATS Job Submission Status
We have added the ability to config the ATS status associated with an incoming job application from OTE, so that automation will be properly triggered based on the status. This is located at Integrations > Bullhorn Jobs > Integration Properties > New Job Applications Status. The default status is New Lead.
Applicant Settings
Recruiters now have the option to enable “SIN optional” for Canadian applicants. This is configurable at the individual applicant level (either when adding or editing an applicant). If turned on, an applicant can choose to not provide an SIN when completing Preliminary Info.
Default Currency Code Setting
When a customer is created through the UI or API we are now defaulting their System Settings > Applicant Pay Account Currency Codes setting to the currency that matches the customer’s location. This will prevent errors when applicants go to complete Direct Deposit forms along with simplifying customer setup.
Applicant Tax Settings
We have added the ability for Users with the Add/Edit Applicant permission set to indicate if an applicant can opt-out of providing a federal id (SSN, SIN) when completing their preliminary information. UI support for this is coming in a following ticket.
Preliminary Information/SIN
For Canadian residents, we have added the (configurable by a recruiter at the candidate level) option to opt out of providing an SIN when completing Preliminary Information.
Onboarding Alert Opt In
The notification preferences have been updated in the applicant portal to be clearer and encourage candidates to opt in to receiving notifications.
Direct Deposit
The Multi-Pay Account form component now responds responsively to different screen sizes when on a candidate facing form. This allows candidates to view and interact with the account information with ease.
Disable Mobile Number and Duplicate Check
Customers now have the option to remove mobile phone numbers from the candidate sign-up page while allowing duplicate mobile numbers across candidates. This allows candidates with shared mobile numbers a smoother sign-up experience.
Direct Deposit Entity Syncing
For customers who sync Direct Deposit information to the ATS DirectDeposit Entity we have added the ability to sync Pay Card as an account type. This means that when candidates select Pay Card on the Direct Deposit form, this information will properly sync to Bullhorn ATS.
Simplify VMS Attachments
Simplify VMS – VMS Sync now parses requisition attachments. This provides users with important requisition information not found in the VMS UI, reducing the need for users to manually update ATS jobs with missing VMS information.
B4Health Mapping
B4Health – VMS Sync has updated our backend handling to parse requisition locations correctly. This lets users view the correct address on ATS Jobs, eliminating the need for users to manually update ATS jobs with missing VMS information.
Fieldglass Chat Messages
Fieldglass – VMS Sync now captures company-specific chat messages. This ensures all buyer comments posted to VMS positions are attached to the ATS Job, eliminating the need for users to manually update ATS jobs with missing VMS information.
My Work Day Credentials
MyWorkDay – VMS Sync now automatically updates expired passwords for MyWorkDay credentials. This prevents requisition delay and eliminates the need for users to manually update their VMS credentials in VMS Sync Admin Tools.
Column Filter as Picker Option
Users searching on the Billable Charges list can now save time by choosing from a set of pre-selected values in the searchable options list.
Candidate CV Overview Card
We improved the French translation text that is displayed on the resume overview card when a candidate does not have a resume uploaded to enhance the user experience for our French clients.
Credential List on Placement Record
Additional columns have been added to the Credentials list on a Placement to help users quickly identify which credentials have been Matched and the credential Type.
Default Credentials
An issue was resolved so that the Credential Requirements setup on the Company level is added automatically when a new Job is created. Previously, these credential requirements would not automatically populate on a new Job creating additional data entry and/or inconsistent records where the credentials were not added.
Edit Candidate Shift Assignment
An issue was resolved that caused the ‘Edit’ action item to not function properly when a user attempted to edit a candidate’s shift assignments from the Candidate View Scheduler screen.
Reported Margin Field
An issue was resolved that prevented the reportedMargin field from being updated on a placement when the pay rate was changed on an approved Placement Change Request. The reportedMargin field can be seen on the Placement list view and this fix will allow users to quickly and correctly view their profit margins when their contractor’s pay rate changes.
Retry Implemented for Long Running Events
In order to earn our customers’ trust and provide their data more reliably, we are thrilled to be announcing data event subscription performance enhancements. These changes will increase the speed and accuracy of event propagation throughout our entire product portfolio.
Adding Notes
An issue was resolved that was preventing users from being able to click anywhere in the text box to add a note to a Candidate record. Clients can now click anywhere inside the box, including within the hint message, and begin typing their notes.
Goals & Quotas Configuration
The Goals & Configuration page has been localized to enhance the user experience for our international clients.
Validate and Compensate for Hard Deleted Records
Validation was added that checks if a record was hard deleted in ATS which updates the record to isDeleted ensuring records are accurate for reporting.
Task.taskUUID Field Length
An update to the Task.taskUUID field has been made for Data Replication with EMS so that the field length matches the length in the ATS database and eliminates any errors between the systems when the data string was longer than allowed in EMS.
Note Entity
The Note Entity table is now available in Data Replication with EMS further improving data continuity between the ATS and a clients Data Replication database.
Calculated Fields
Data Replication with EMS has been updated to support calculated fields for clients utilizing the Pay & Bill feature.
Adding Candidates
Data syncing to Data Replication with EMS has been updated to ensure that candidates that are added with a timestamp of 000 or 999 milliseconds will not be skipped improving accuracy within the client’s database.
Phone Number Field Updates
Bullhorn users with TextUs and/or a third party click-to-call application enabled can now click on the TextUs icon of a candidate, contact, or lead to send a text message and can also click on the phone number of a candidate, contact, or lead to make a phone call.
Billable Charge Fields
The following fields have been added to the schema for Data Replication with EMS to support Pay Bill information:
- BillMaster.isEligibleOverride
- BillMasterTransaction.wasUnBilled
- InvoiceTermVersion.billingScheduleID
- InvoiceTermRoot.billingScheduleID
E-Verify 2.0
If an auto E-Verify case cannot be created because a duplicate case is detected, an email notification will be sent to the recruiter assigned to the I-9. Email will only be sent when Auto E-Verify and E-Verify 2.0 settings are enabled, and the candidate does not have any existing Employment Authorized case results.
E-Verify 2.0
When a new duplicate case is created, the Applicant > E-Verify page will automatically refresh to hide the “Duplicate Continue Reason” dropdown.
Configuring ATS Direct Deposit Entity Mapping
A one-click configuration has been added to the ATS Integrations section in order to configure the Applicant Pay Account Field Mappings, Automations, and Code Value Mappings need to sync OTE Pay Accounts to ATS Direct Deposit Entity.
Branding and Design Elements
The fonts and colors of the recruiter-facing platform have been updated to more closely align with Bullhorn branding. Additionally, the Able logo will be replaced with the Bullhorn Onboarding logo throughout the platform. To note, candidate-facing features will remain the same.
See here for more information/examples: https://ableteams.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/47001236015-introducing-bullhorn-onboarding-talent-edition-branding
Basic information
With our re-build of the Basic Information page to New Angular, we have rebuilt the upload service that lives under the ‘Upload Resume’ button. This includes both the back end work to rebuild the services needed to return and upload the attached file for the applicant as well as a new styling for how the button works and then the styling of how we display the uploaded document back to the applicant.
Basic Information
We have updated the new Basic Information page to support returning the company associated with the applicant, their branding for the page, as well as some of the client requirements on what fields and values are available on the different form fields.
Basic Information
With this release we have added the support for the Google Auto-Complete functionality in the new Basic Information page that is utilized in such places like the Address fields that allows candidates the ability to type to search for and auto-populate the values they are looking for.
Web Time Entry
Clients were seeing the navigation menu item in the Talent Platform Portal for Web Time Entry even if they didn’t have the integration enabled. This was causing candidates to be able to view the navigation item and open the Web Time Entry page which would generate an error due to the disabled state of the integration. With this release we have resolved that issue and now if a client doesn’t have Web Time Entry enabled, candidates will not be presented with the navigation item.
Web Time Entry
Clients have the ability to choose if they would like the Web Time Entry integration to open within the Talent Platform Portal as an iFrame or outside in a new tab. This is a setting within WFM and was previously initiating the opposite action for which the client had selected. With this release we now respect the setting and initiate the desired action within the Talent Platform Portal to either direct the Candidate to an iFrame’d experience or route them to a new tab in their native browser.
Translations
With this release we have added support for the additional Spanish & French translations on the new Talent Platform Home page, where the candidate can now view the proper translation of their Home dashboard.
Profile
We resolved an issue in Staging Environments where the Profile Header was covering up the ‘Continue’ button after navigating back to the Profile page. We have resolved this issue so that now the Profile Header will not cover the ‘Continue’ button, no matter how many times you navigate to the Profile page.
Navigation
With this release we have cleaned up a display issue with the Talent Platform Portal Mobile Navigation Drawer that was displaying bullet points next to each navigation menu item. By removing these bullet points, we are ensuring that the candidate experiences a clean and easy experience when navigating between their different primary pages in their Talent Platform Portal.
Logout Branding
Some applicant’s were experiencing an issue where logging out of the Talent Platform Portal would re-size the client logo to larger than the header should allow. This was causing a lot of overlap into the login & sign up form fields and not providing a great experience for the candidate. With this release, we have resolved that issue and the client logo should remain inside of the page header and sized to an appropriate scale within the page.
Job Search
Candidates were previously running into issues with only being able to open up the Detail Drawer of a job once in Mobile resolutions. When returning to view that same job again, they wouldn’t be able to open the Job Detail Drawer. With this release, we have resolved this issue and now candidates can access the Detail Drawer of jobs as many times as they would like without display issues.
Job Search
We have resolved an issue with the Job Search Results navigation from the Detail Drawer when in mobile resolutions.

Now when navigating between jobs from the Job Detail Drawer, we persist the Next/Back buttons.
Job Search
With this release we have updated our drop down filters to be searchable. This allows candidates to more easily search and identify their desired filters while also consolidating those drop down filters that have a lot of options into a more clean user experience.
Job Search
We have updated our pagination on the Job Search Results page so that when navigating forward and backward between the job results pages, candidates are being brought to the top of the page instead of remaining at the bottom. This provides a better candidate experience when searching jobs by automatically directing the candidate to the most relevant jobs based on not only their search results but also the page of jobs they are viewing.
Basic Information
We have resolved an issue where candidates were experiencing a blank page when navigating via the ‘Back’ button on the Basic Information page in the Complete Profile workflow. Now when candidates click on the ‘Back’ button in the Basic Info page, they will be properly redirected to the Talent Platform Home Page.
Basic Information
When candidates were navigating to the Basic Information or Preliminary Information forms in the Talent Platform Portal, they were seeing duplicate Home & Mobile Phone fields.

Basic Information
We have built new styling for the Candidate Experience on the Basic Information page that aligns more closely with the user experience of our new Talent Platform Portal. This includes a new layout and grouping of fields as well as form field styles and buttons.

automatically created and associated with the Candidate. When an onboarding is initiated from a Placement record, a note will be created and associated with the Candidate, Job, and Placement.

statuses are no longer presented as clickable buttons but instead displayed as plain text.

Onboarding365 REST API V2.
‘Free Options Entry’ Custom Attributes are not supported by Document Rules nor can they be
modified by editing an Onboarding. This new function is designed to be used through a REST
integration.
The ‘DropDown Options List’ Custom Attribute Type remains consistent with previous Custom
Attribute functionality, where only pre-configured values are considered valid.

Placement Rate Card Support for Not Required, Pay Only, or Bill Only Rates
The placement rate card interface now allows users to enter pay rate only, bill rate only, or no rates at all, depending on the associated earn code field selections. This system behavior is based on the following earn code fields:
- “Pay/Bill Options” which drives if the user should enter Pay Rate, Bill Rate, or both, on the rate card
- “Are rates required?” which drives if the user should enter a rate for that earn code on the rate card
The rate card user interface provides visual indicators on what rate fields are required, and what rates should be entered.

A new System Setting, “Auto-Create O365 Clients and Offices” has been introduced.
When set to ‘TRUE’, any Company record that is created or updated in Bullhorn automatically
creates or updates a corresponding Client record in Onboarding365. The data that syncs from the
Bullhorn Company record to the Onboarding365 Client record is the ‘Name’ field.
Additionally, any Location record that is created or updated in Bullhorn automatically creates or
updates a corresponding Client Office record in Onboarding365. The data that syncs from the
Bullhorn Location record to the Onboarding365 Client Office record is the ‘Title’, ‘Address’, ‘City’,
‘State’, ‘Zip’, and ‘Country’ fields.
Enabled Education and Work History Flowback to Bullhorn
Two new System Settings have been introduced — ‘O365EducationHistoryFlowBack’ and
‘O365WorkHistoryFlowback.’
When set to ‘TRUE’, any candidate Education History and/or Employment History data captured
during profile completion in Onboarding365 will automatically flowback to the ‘CandidateEducation’
and ‘CandidateWorkHistory’ entities in Bullhorn once a candidate’s onboarding reaches a “Complete”
status.
Pre-Configure Onboarding Cancellation Reasons
A new System Setting, “Onboarding365ReasonforCancelling” has been introduced.
Any values set in this new system setting will be displayed as picker options in the “Reason for
Cancelling” field when a user attempts to cancel an onboarding. If no values are set in the
“Onboarding365ReasonforCancelling” setting, then a free-form field will be displayed in place of the picker.
Once an onboarding is cancelled, a note will be created using the selected value as the body of the
note. If the onboarding is cancelled from the Candidate record a note will only be captured on the
Candidate record. If the onboarding is cancelled from the Placement record the note will be
captured on both the Candidate and Placement records.

A new ‘Form I-9 Section 1 Review’ workflow has been introduced for the Form I-9 document that
when enabled, requires a Form I-9 certifier to first confirm or reject Form I-9 Section 1 prior to
completing Section 2.
If a Form I-9 Section 1 is rejected, a new Form I-9 will automatically be assigned to the onboarding
and the rejected Form I-9 Section 1 will be removed from the onboarding (but still accessible via the
View Deleted option in the Options menu).
The ‘Form I-9 Section 1 Review’ setting can be enabled by navigating to the “Advanced” tab of the
Form I-9 document in Document Management, and selecting this option.
Note: If your agency currently has the ‘Automated I-9’ setting set to ‘ON’, it is recommended that this
feature not be turned on at this time.

“Reason for Cancelling” Onboarding Dropdown
We have updated the “Reason for Cancelling” field to utilize a drop down with the options coming from the system settings. If there are no values in the system setting it will default to a free type text field.
Mass Mail Opt Outs
We’ve enhanced the way candidates & contacts opt out of mass mailings. Previously, users had to only click an email link to be opted out. With the enhancement, when users click the ‘opt-out’ link, they are brought to a web page, but are then required to click an opt-out button to unsubscribe. This change was done to prevent recipients from erroneously opting out. We recently determined that beginning in February 2021 certain customers experienced recipients (contacts / candidates) of mass mail that were automatically and incorrectly opted out. We believe this issue may have been caused by anti-virus software, or other software, on the recipient’s system. The new enhancement has corrected the foregoing issue.
Field Interactions added for the message field on ‘Compose Message’ Page
The message field on the ‘Compose Message’ page now supports field interactions.
Refresh Check for Approver Emails Longer than 50 Characters
When multiple email addresses are sent in an approver column on a refresh that results in a value scenelength greater than 50 characters, BTE will now only use the first valid email. If no valid email is found, we will leave the value empty. That logic will also apply if a single email address is sent that is longer than 50 characters.
Bullhorn Time & Expense Community
We have retired the Peoplenet Knowledge Base and the Help link will now direct admins to the new Bullhorn Time & Expense Community.

We’ve made an enhancement to SalesDuel that enables a tournament administrator to send a recap email upon completion of a tournament. The administrator can send the recap email by accessing a completed tournament and clicking the Send Full Recap Email button that appears on the resulting dialog.
When the administrator sends the email as part of a team-based tournament, the email is sent to all team owners as well as any player who is on a team (note that the email is not sent to players who did not get drafted). When the administrator sends the email as part of an individual-based tournament, the email is sent to every player who was added to the tournament, regardless of their level of participation.
The recap email includes information such as the name of the tournament, the user who won and the number of points they accrued, the user who is designated as the MVP and the statistic that earned them that designation, and the second and third runners up in the tournament. The email also includes a button that enables the reader to view the full tournament stats within SalesDuel.

Payroll Effective Dates Not Saving as Expected
We’ve fixed the issue regarding payroll effective dates that were not saving as expected. Payroll effective dates were saving to the beginning of the week, rather than the beginning of an employee’s payroll cycle. Now, payroll effective dates will save to the first day of the employee’s closest payroll cycle.
Date Display Issue on E-Verify I-9 Form
We’ve fixed the issue regarding dates displaying inconsistently on the E-Verify I-9 form – though they were saved correctly in the database, they were displaying with an outline from previous dates used. This issue has been resolved and dates are now displaying correctly.
Delays Adding Users to Onboarding Dashboard
We’ve fixed the issue regarding candidates not appearing in the Onboarding dashboard when a document or packet was assigned from the Bullhorn CRM.

This issue has been resolved and all candidates are appearing in the Onboarding dashboard when documents or packets are assigned.
Employee Portal Speed and Stability Improvements
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the employee portal experiencing latency when numerous documents requiring attachments were being assigned at the same time. Now, and documents requiring attachments no longer cause latency when assigned to employees.

We identified an issue with trying to open Vendor onboarding details from the Onboarding dashboard. This issue has been resolved and Vendor onboarding details can be accessed from the Onboarding dashboard.

By honoring Placement field mappings on the Placement Change Request list, we now correctly display field labels on the Placement Change Request list.
Export Enhancements
When exporting from either the job or candidate list, the CSV file now contains columns for Submission Counts, Submission Details, Skills Counts, Skills Details, Category Counts, and Category Details (along with any other columns selected in the list view).

Copying an Opportunity
You now have the ability to add a new opportunity to Bullhorn by making a copy of an existing opportunity. A new menu option, labeled Make a Copy, is now located in the Select an Action drop-down on the opportunity record. When you make a copy of an opportunity, every field on the existing opportunity is copied over to the new opportunity, where you can make changes as necessary.
Notes:
- The Make a Copy option only appears for users whose user types have the Add Opportunity action entitlement.
- The status of the copied opportunity defaults to the status for new opportunities, as opposed to the status of the original opportunity.
- The fields that are copied over to the new opportunity include custom fields and custom objects with a type of overview.
- File attachments and data-related items (notes, activity, history, etc.) are not copied over to the new opportunity.
Deleting Sales Quotas
We’ve made an enhancement to the Sales Quotas feature that gives users the ability to delete one or more quotas from the list view.

Now, as this report is run, the percentage complete will actively update. Please note that very large data sets, typically greater than year’s worth of data, will continue to cause this report to time out. It is recommended to split this report by year if needed.

We’ve made updates to increase speed and stability when navigating the Companies tab.

PTO Pay Rate Issue
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the PTO rate displaying incorrectly on the payable dashboard. The dashboard was displaying incorrect values when PTO hours were entered with a weekly pay type. Now, PTO rates are calculated as expected.
Document Submitted Notification Issue
We’ve fixed the issue with notifications not being sent to administrators when all documents were submitted by an employee. Now, with the resolution of this issue, provided the correct setting is enabled, administrators will now receive the notifications.
Onboarding Dashboard
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the Onboarding dashboard not accurately reflecting percentages for “Submitted” and “Approved.” Now, the dashboard is displaying correct percentages.
Onboarding Document Field Validations
We’ve fixed the issue regarding field validations not always being enforced on Onboarding documents. For example, a field restricted to five digits in length was allowing more than five digits. Now, all document field validations will be honored.
Sales Quotas
We are pleased to announce that Sales Quotas is now Generally Available! This feature allows you to track your users’ individual quarterly sales quotas and measure their performance relative to those quotas, making adjustments throughout the quarter as necessary. You manage this information both on the Goals and Quotas list view and via the Sales Performance dashboard card, located both on My Dashboard and the Opportunity dashboard.
To enable this feature, contact Bullhorn Support. Note that this feature measures Quota performance against Opportunities and is available in Enterprise Edition only.
Career Portal – Published Contact Recruiter
You can now choose the user that displays as the Published Contact Recruiter when publishing jobs to the Career Portal. Previously, the published contact recruiter defaulted to the job owner. Now, you can choose the contact recruiter from a drop-down on the job publishing page. The new published contact recruiter now also receives an email when a candidate applies to a job that contains a link to both the candidate and job records in Bullhorn.
Opportunity References Added to Email Notifications
We have made an enhancement to note-related email notifications to include opportunity references in the subject and body of the emails.
When an opportunity is referenced in a note and you choose to send an email notification for the note, the ID number of the referenced opportunity now appears in the subject of the email, and a link to the opportunity record appears in the email body. If you reference multiple opportunities in the note, the email subject denotes that there are multiple references, and the email body contains links to all of the referenced records.
New Look for the Edit Document Pop-Up
When creating or editing a document in Onboarding, the Edit Document pop-up has a new look. All existing functionality is the same.
Packet and Document Table Changes
We’ve updated the Packet and Document tables on the employee/candidate record and placement record to now display six packets or documents at a time, which makes viewing and assigning packets and documents easier. The button to send reminders to candidates or placements of assigned documents has been updated to say “Send Reminder.”
Contacts Not Shown on Company Contacts Tab
We’ve fixed the issue regarding secondary ownership not being taken into account when filtering by “All My Groups” on a Company’s Contacts tab. Previously, “All My Groups” would only return contacts whose primary owner was someone within your department. Now, “All My Groups” returns contacts who are primary and/or secondary owned by someone within your department.
Improved Performance for “Response Times” Card
We’ve improved the performance of the “Response Times” card on the Job Dashboard. Additionally, when you run the card for the first time, or if you not select date filters using the configuration options, the card automatically returns data from the past 90 days.
Submission List Status Change
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the wrong status updating when you made inline edits on the Submission list.
E-Verify Error When Viewing Certain Cases
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the error that displayed when administrators tried to view certain E-Verify cases. This was typically occurring for older cases which were still in progress. Now, all cases are viewable by administrators with E-Verify access.
Negative Supplemental Timesheets Appearing on Incorrect Invoices
We’ve fixed the issue regarding negative supplemental timesheets appearing on multiple invoices; now negative supplemental timesheets will only appear on the invoice linked to the timesheet.
Required Fields
We’ve fixed the issue regarding required fields that were not being displayed as required on documents in the Onboarding candidate/employee portal. Required fields are now highlighted in red. Similarly, if an administrator or a candidate/employee attempt to submit a document without completing all required fields, a notification is displayed indicating which fields are required for document submission.
Auto-Add for Email
We are excited to announce that Auto-Add for Email is now generally available! With Auto-Add, Bullhorn creates new contact records for you when you send an email to an unknown person (i.e., they do not have a record in the CRM yet), saving you time you’d otherwise have to spend manually entering data. We’ll associate the new record with an existing company in your database, or, if necessary, create a new company record.
To request this feature, contact Bullhorn Support. Note that Auto-Add is available with Enterprise Edition only. Once enabled, administrators can configure their Auto-Add preferences in Pulse HQ.
Modify Workflow Icons
You are now able to modify workflow icons via System Settings! Workflow icons display across the top of lead, candidate, contact, company, opportunity, and job records and represent the key stages of the entity’s lifecycle (e.g., Prescreen, Internal Submission, Client Submission, etc.)
To learn more about how to configure these settings, view the Understanding Workflow System Settings article.
Previous/Next Links
After opening a record from a list, have you ever thought to yourself, “it would be great if I could go to the next record in the list without navigating back to the list.” Well, now you can! After opening a record from a list, you will see Previous and Next navigation links on the record page. The navigation links remember the list you opened the record from, and allows you to navigate through those records without returning to the list view.
As of this release, Previous/Next Navigation is available on Candidate, Company, Contact, and Lead records. More record types are coming soon!
Flagged Emails Card Enhancements
We’ve enhanced the Flagged Emails card to allow you to view emails without a subject. Previously, if an email without a subject was flagged, you were unable to access the message from the Flagged Emails card because there was no hyperlinked subject line to click on. Now, the subject line for these emails display as (No subject) so that you can open them.
Placement Change Request List
Bullhorn is excited to announce our new Placement Change Request List! With this list, you can now easily filter and sort your placement change requests, and navigate directly to the placement change requests via the hyperlinked ID number.

Mass Mailing Unsubscribe Styling Update
Candidates, contacts, and leads that receive a Bullhorn mass mailing now see information on how to unsubscribe more prominently (i.e., in a darker color) at the bottom of the email.
Links to Records on Mobile
We’ve made an enhancement to Bullhorn for Mobile that allows you to access records by tapping on links in Bullhorn-related emails. Assuming you have your Default View on Mobile Device preference set to mobile, when you receive an email on your mobile device about, for example, a new candidate being added to the system, you can go directly to the candidate’s record in the mobile application by tapping on the associated link in the email.
Other examples include:

Adding/editing leads, opportunities, contacts, jobs, placements, and candidates
-

Banner Removal (Beta)

We’ve enhanced Blueprint to allow you to filter known and unknown people by their title.
To request this feature, contact Bullhorn Support. Note that Blueprint is available with Enterprise Edition only.
Improved Candidate/Worker Mobile Experience

We’re really excited about our new release. As always, Support is available at 617.478.9126, and for a limited time only, you can email onboardingsupport@bullhorn.com to expedite your feedback to our team.
Company Record Links
We’ve fixed an issue where clicking on company links in Bullhorn for Email did not open the corresponding record in Bullhorn.
Email Activity on Merged Records
We’ve fixed the issue regarding email activity and merged records. Previously, when you merged two records in Bullhorn, email activity on the secondary record did not appear on the primary record after the merge was completed. Now, all email activity that took place on the secondary record displays correctly on the primary record.
Duplicate Notes
We’ve fixed the issue with duplicate note creation (showing up both on the Notes tab and Last 10 Notes widget) when adding notes via Bullhorn for Mobile or Quick Note.
Email Conversation Activity Card Not Refreshing
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the Email Conversation Activity card not refreshing when a user navigated between preview slideouts when on a list view. Now, the card refreshes and displays according to the record you’re viewing.
Moving Web Responses to Submissions
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the “Added By” field when moving a web response to a submission. Previously, from the job record’s Activity tab, if you moved a web response to a submission, the “Added By” field on the submission would display the “Added By” user of the web response. Now, the “Added By” field on the submission matches the user who moved the web response to a submission.
Filtering/Searching by Expected Close Date
In the February release, we enhanced the Expected Close Date column for Opportunities to include more flexible filter/search criteria such as This Quarter, Last Quarter, This Month, Last Month, etc. In this release (April), we’ve added two new options, Next Month and Next Quarter, to the filter/search criteria.
Also, when performing an additional criteria search on the Expected Close Date column, you can now further refine your search by selecting a specific date or date range: Before, After, Equals, and Is Between.
Fewer Required Fields for Adding an Appointment on Mobile
To make it easier to add appointments using Bullhorn for Mobile, we’ve changed the required fields from Subject, Type, Date Begin, Date End, Location, and Description to only Subject and Date Begin (which matches the required fields when adding an appointment from the desktop application).
Populate Name of Auto-Added Contacts (Beta)
We’ve enhanced our Auto-Add Contacts feature. Now, when you receive an email from a newly auto-added contact, if that contact has an email address in their last name field, the first name and last name will be updated on the contact.

We’ve fixed the issue that was causing some placement record data to be missing while syncing between the Bullhorn CRM and Bullhorn Back Office.
Summary Card On the Candidate Preview Slideout
We’ve fixed the issue with the Summary card on the Candidate preview slideout not appearing for clients who do not have dashboard cards enabled. Now, the Summary card displays on the preview slideout regardless of whether or not dashboard cards are enabled.
Bullhorn for Email Gadget Login Issue
We’ve fixed the issue with the Bullhorn for Email gadget in Outlook 2016 for Mac not keeping the user login active when Outlook was closed. Now, when these users re-open Outlook, they will not have to log into Bullhorn again.
Email Tracking Card Shows No Results
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the Email Tracking card not showing activity until inbound and outbound email activity was found on the record. Now, the card will display any activity the user is entitled to view regardless of any inbound/outbound dependency.
Onboarding Date Picker Year Limitation
We fixed the issue that was restricting both employees and administrators from selecting dates beyond 2025 when completing Onboarding documents. Now, the date picker allows you to set a date up to twenty years in the future from the date of the document completion.
Sales Quotas (Beta)
We are excited to announce our new Goals & Quotas feature, now in open beta! This new list view gives you the ability to set up quarterly quotas on a per-user basis, as well as monitor performance against those quotas so you can make adjustments throughout the quarter as necessary.
This feature also offers a new Sales Performance Dashboard card that displays total quota, revenue, and number of deals for the quarter, as well as the top 25 performing users.
Please contact Product Management if you would like to participate in the beta program. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.

NPS is now out of Beta and generally available! If you are a Corporate or Enterprise Edition customer and do not currently have access to NPS, please contact support for enablement.
Additionally, you can now select responses on the NPS Responses list and export them as a CSV file.
Trigger Words by User
We’ve made an enhancement to the Flagged Emails Pulse card. Previously, only administrators could define trigger words and doing so would apply them to the card for your entire company. Now, all users can define these words for their own cards on the Preferences page.
For more information about the Flagged Emails card (and other Pulse cards), view the Understanding Bullhorn Pulse article. To request this card, contact Bullhorn Support. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.
View 50 Rows per Page on Tearsheets
We’ve enhanced your tearsheet lists by adding the ability to view records at 50 rows per page.
Auto-Add by Sent Message (Beta)
We’ve made a change to the Auto-Add Contacts feature. Previously, Auto-Add automatically created contact records when you received emails from unknown senders. Now, contact records are only created when you send emails to unknown senders. This allows for greater control over the quality of data in your system.
Please contact Product Management if you would like to participate in the beta program. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.
New Login Page
We’ve updated the client login page with our new logo and branding.
Improved Load Times
We’ve improved the loading speed for the Companies, Managers, and Vendors tabs. Previously, all assignment data would first load for a given tab and then filter when navigating within these tabs. Now, the application loads data on demand, thereby reducing loading times.
Expanded Login History Report
We’ve expanded the functionality of the Login History Report: this report now records employee and administrator logins.
Enhanced Quickbooks Timesheet Status Updates
We’ve made an enhancement to update timesheets stuck in a “Processing” status when exporting to QuickBooks. Previously, even when timesheets successfully exported to QuickBooks, the timesheet status would not always update in Bullhorn Back Office. Now, if the status is not immediately updated, Bullhorn Back Office continues to attempt to update the status until a successful or unsuccessful message is received from QuickBooks.
Enhanced E-Verify Integration
We’ve enhanced our integration with E-Verify by making troubleshooting down time and authentication updates easier and less time consuming going forward.
Login History Report
We’ve updated the Login History Report to now record employee and administrator logins.

Additionally, the upgraded editor is also now supported on the following devices/browsers:
-
iPhone (iOS 8 or later) using Safari or Chrome.
-

-
Devices running the Android operating system (version 4.4.2 or later) using Chrome.

We’ve fixed the issue regarding all administrators not being displayed in Administrator drop-downs on the Reporting tab.
Invoice Duplication in QuickBooks
We’ve fixed the issue with duplicate invoices exporting to QuickBooks; now, only single invoices are exported.
Auto-Add Private Contacts
We’ve enhanced our Auto-Add Contacts feature. Now, when you receive emails from unknown senders, you can set a preference to add the contact with a default status of either “New Lead” (Public) or “Private.”
Please contact Bullhorn Product Management if you would like to participate in the beta program. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.
Internal User Picker Enhancements
We’ve enhanced the internal user picker field to include more information about each user; so your colleagues are more easily identifiable. Now, in addition to first and last name, the picker includes the user’s title, location, email address, phone number, and primary department.
Filtering and Searching on Expected Close Date
We’ve enhanced the Expected Close Date column for Opportunities with more flexible filter/search criteria in order to give you greater control when filtering/searching on that column. The new filter/search options are as follows: This Year, Last Year, This Quarter, Last Quarter, This Month, Last Month, This Week, Last Week.
These new options are available both on the column itself on the Opportunity list, as well as from the Expected Close Date additional criteria field on the Opportunity search. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.
Lead ID Hyperlinks
The ID# of a lead is now a hyperlink to the record on the Leads List. This enhancement was made to ensure that lead records are still accessible even if a first and last name are not entered. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.
Contact Account Engagement (Beta)
A new pulse card is available for Companies and Opportunities! The Contact Account Engagement card provides statistics that allow you to quickly visualize the percentage of engaged contacts versus all contacts for a specific account.
Please contact Bullhorn Product Management if you would like to participate in the beta program. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.
Performance Improvements
We’ve added pagination to document creation in the Admin application. By paginating, documents now load more quickly and efficiently.
Appointment Guest Picker
We’ve fixed the issue in Bullhorn for Mobile regarding scrolling the appointment guest picker. Previously, if you searched for a record in the guest picker and the returned list was longer than the visible screen, you’d be unable to scroll to and select the last record on the list. Now, you are able to select the last record without issue.
Appointments with No Attendees
We’ve fixed the issue in Bullhorn for Mobile regarding adding appointments with no attendees/guests; previously, when doing this, the owner of the appointment (generally the user who created it) would not receive an invitation email for the appointment. Now, the owner receives the invitation email as they should.
Display Full Address
We fixed the issue in Bullhorn for Mobile regarding the Full Address field only displaying two or three lines of address data. Now, the Full Address field always display all address data.
DHTML Editor Fields Defaulting to Formatted
We’ve fixed an issue regarding the DHTML Editor field paragraph format switching to “Formatted” as soon as you would click inside the editor. The default paragraph format is now “Normal.”
Deleting Saved Searches
We’ve fixed the issue that prevented users from deleting saved searches if the search name extended under the Delete button in the Favorites drop-down. It is now possible to delete saved searches of any length.
Task List Column Change
On the task list Columns drop-down, we’ve renamed the read-only “Child Task Owners” column to “Assigned To” to make it consistent with the name of its associated field elsewhere in Bullhorn.
ATS/Quickbooks Refresh Completion
We fixed the issue that was preventing existing employees from updating in Quickbooks, which, in turn, was also preventing the completion of ATS refreshes. Now, ATS refreshes are completing and existing employees in QuickBooks are updating as they should.
Exported Timesheet Hours
We fixed the issue that was causing timesheet hours to be incorrectly assigned to different timesheet categories (overtime, doubletime, standard) when exported. This issue was evident in QuickBooks exports and custom exports. Now, timesheet hours are correctly assigned to the proper category.
Formatting on CSV Report Exports
We fixed the issue that was causing additional white space before and after data in cells with CSV exports. Now, CSV exports do not contain additional white spaces in the cells.
Constant Contact Architectural Improvements
We’ve made some architectural improvements to our Constant Contact integration. As a result, administrators will need to re-authenticate to Constant Contact in order to push tearsheets.
View Onboarding Card on Submission Preview Slideout
If you use the Bullhorn ATS/Onboarding integration, you now have access to the Onboarding card on the Details tab of the preview slideout on your submissions list.
Auto Add Contacts to Companies with Matching Domains (Beta)
Bullhorn now gives you the ability to have contact records automatically created when you receive emails from unknown senders. When this feature is enabled, we detect the domain of the unknown sender and scan your database for contacts with a matching domain – if there’s a match, we’ll add that contact to the appropriate company record. If there’s no match, we look up the domain and add the company and contact for you — decreasing data entry and increasing productivity!
Please contact Product Management if you would like to participate in the beta program.
Note: This feature is for Enterprise Edition only.
Employment Type Exposed In Faster Find and Jobs Picker
Employment Type is now visible for jobs in the drop-downs for Faster Find and the Jobs picker, making it easier to identify the correct job when performing a search.
Private Files
Bullhorn now gives you the ability to mark files stored on candidate, contact, company, opportunity, job, and placement records as private, and share those files with specific users. On the Files tab for each of these record types, there is a new column labeled Visibility. This column, which can be sorted and filtered like the other columns on the tab, displays either Public or Private, denoting whether a file is visible to all users (assuming they can see the record) or not. For more information on private files, click here.
Activity Tab Performance Improvements
We’ve redesigned the Tasks section on the company record Activity tab for better performance – information now loads faster and you have the ability to page through your related tasks in groups of 10, 25, 50, or 100.
HTML Editor on Comments Field for Submissions
The Comments field on the Edit Submission page is now an HTML editor field, just as it appears on the Add Submission page, instead of just a simple text block.
“S Release” Removed from Browser Tab Title
We’ve updated the title of the browser tab that displays when logged into Bullhorn from “Bullhorn S Release” to the more all-encompassing “Bullhorn.”
status.bullhorn.com Has Been Updated!
Our status page has been updated with a new look and new functionality. You can now subscribe to updates via email, SMS, or RSS. Click here for more information on this page.
OT/DT Rules for Weekly Time Input
For weekly time input, doubletime rules now include overtime and normal hours to accrue towards an employee’s weekly amount.
Update to Onboarding Settings
We’ve updated the Onboarding integration settings page in the Control Panel to make navigation simpler and clearer. Now, shared email variables are highlighted towards the top of the page, with specific types of email variables grouped with their email type.
Employee Document History
We’ve improved the stability of the Employee Document History pop-up. Now, it maintains authenticated sessions and displays the document history for employees.
Vendor Document History
We’ve stabilized the Document History audit trail for Vendors. Previously, if a Vendor updated a date field, the data would not appear in the document history, but the change would still be processed. Now, all vendor date changes appear in document history.
Approvers by Branch Report Correction
We’ve updated the Approvers by Branch Report to reflect managers with currently active assignments (i.e., assignments starting in the past and ending in the future). Previously, extraneous managers were appearing on this report with inactive assignments.
Email – Default Message Signature Formatting
We’ve fixed the formatting issue regarding the default message signature and text format. Previously, the font text format options set in Preferences were not always respected in email messages (both when composing and on the recipient’s end). Now, font formatting set in preferences, for both email creation and on the receiving end, are consistent.
Favorite Search Saved with Cached Column Filter
In a previous release, we addressed an issue where applying a filter to a column, clearing that filter, applying a different filter, and then saving the search as a favorite would save the search with the initial filter applied. However, this fix only worked if the “Clear” button in the upper-right corner of the list view page was used to clear the initial filter, rather than using the smaller Clear button within the column header itself. In this release, we have addressed the latter, and favorite searches will no longer save with cached column filters, regardless of how those filters are cleared.
Mobile – Address Display on Contact Summary
We’ve fixed the issue regarding a contact’s full address not displaying on the summary card in the Bullhorn for Mobile app, even when it was included in the Mobile View Layout. Now, the full address appears when and where it should.
Selecting All Records After Large Search Returns Error
We’ve resolved the issue regarding either an “HTTP Error 414 – The request URL is too long” or “400 Bad Request” that appeared when users attempted to perform a mass record action after a large, complex keyword search. Now, the mass actions can be completed successfully.
Open/Done Button on Preview Slideout Not Displaying Correctly
We’ve fixed the issue regarding the open/done button on the Task List Preview Slideout not displaying correctly. Previously, even when a task was complete, the button would incorrectly say “Open” and display “Reopen” when hovered over. Now, open tasks show an “Open” button and display “Complete” when hovered over and completed tasks show a “Done” button and display “Reopen” when hovered over.
Due Date Picker on Task List Showing Wrong Time After Saving
We’ve fixed the issue with the Task Due Date field times not saving in your correct timezone. Now, when you save a time, the saved value reflects the timezone in which you are located.
Sporadic Email Notifications
We’ve fixed the issue regarding inconsistent task reminder emails. Previously, not all tasks were sending corresponding reminder emails to owners and assignees; now, all reminders are being sent when they should.
European Date Format Display Issue
We fixed an issue regarding Placements with a European date format (DD-MM-YYYY) not displaying correctly (though they were saved correctly in the database). Now, the dates also display correctly in the application.
Assignment Week Start Field Mapping Error
Previously, when an admin gave the Assignment Week Start field mapping a value that was not an integer between 0 and 6 (corresponding to Sunday through Saturday), the placement from the integrated ATS would import with an incorrect start day. Now, if an admin does this, after an ATS refresh, an error message displays in BBO letting them know that they’ve inputted an invalid value:
Could Not Update <Mapped Record>: Assignment timesheet week start must be an integer between 0 and 6, currently set to <incorrect value>
Employee App Date Issue
The date in the header of the employee application now matches the date of the timesheet selected. Previously, a bug was causing the date in the header to differ from the date of the selected timesheet.
Payable Hours Calculation
We’ve fixed an issue to correctly calculate payable hours regarding regular and overtime hours when users had multiple placements and the “Timesheet.Overtime Across Assignments” setting was set to Yes.
Employee PTO History Issue
We’ve made a change to the Employee PTO History report to help ensure the correct execution; previously, this report would fail to run if there were extra spaces at the end of the PTO Type name (e.g., “Vacation “). Now, BBO simply removes extra spaces at the end of PTO Type names and the report runs as it should.
New Open Source Career Portal
Bullhorn’s new Open Source Career Portal is now generally available! The new Career Portal is a configurable website that gives job seekers/candidates access to your company’s published jobs. Our Career Portal is open-source, mobile-friendly, and allows users to post open jobs to your company’s website, job boards, and social media accounts. Please click here for more information, and contact Bullhorn support if you’d like to enable the new open source Career Portal.
NPS Survey Tool
Our new NPS survey tool is now in open beta! Extensive research has shown that your Net Promoter Score®, or NPS®, acts as a leading indicator of growth. If your organization’s NPS is higher than those of your competitors, you will likely outperform the market, and managing your organization to improve NPS will also improve your business performance, whether you are aiming for faster growth or increased profits.
Available to Corporate and Enterprise edition customers, in Bullhorn, this tool will allow you to automatically send surveys to your contacts at the times when it is best to contact them, based on the information gathered via the Engagement Summary Pulse card. You then can view and manage all of your contacts’ responses from the new NPS Responses List.
To request the NPS survey tool for your company, contact Bullhorn Support. To learn more about the tool, view the NPS Survey tool documentation.
Opportunities on Company Record Overview Tab
Similar to what we can already display for jobs, you can now add an opportunities “component” to the company record Overview tab using the View Layout, so that you can easily see up to ten opportunities associated with a particular company.
Note: This is an Enterprise-only feature.
Lead Visibility on Company Record Contact Tab
You can now view all leads associated with a company on the Contacts tab of company records! Simply use the new toggle to see only contacts, only leads, or both.
Note: This is an Enterprise-only feature.
Pulse Card – Flagged Emails
A new Pulse card for Companies, Flagged Emails, is now available! Any emails from contacts that contain “trigger words” (those your company have deemed important, which your your administrator defines) will appear here so that you may take appropriate action. For example, if your administrator has chosen “proceed” as a trigger word, the card will display all inbound emails containing the word “proceed” from contacts at the selected company, and you’ll be able to quickly identify what action is required.
To request this card, contact Bullhorn Support. Available for Pulse and Enterprise Edition customers only. To learn more about this card, view the documentation for Bullhorn Pulse.
Enhanced Password Security
We’ve enhanced a very important feature of Bullhorn: password security. Now, when a user attempts to change their password (either when prompted by the system because it expired or by their own choosing), Bullhorn prevents them from using any recent passwords. By default, this will be their last five passwords, including their current password. To increase the number of recent passwords that cannot be reused in order to better comply with your company’s specific password policy, contact Bullhorn Support. To learn more about Bullhorn’s password security measures, view our Changing your Password documentation.
Pulse Configuration Page
In addition to the note action types that drive the Phone Conversation Activity card, administrators can now define the trigger words used for the Flagged Emails card. You access the Pulse Configuration page via the Tools menu. If you don’t see it, contact Bullhorn Support. Available for Pulse and Enterprise Edition customers only. To learn more about how you can configure Bullhorn Pulse, view the Pulse Configuration documentation.
Quickbooks Online Connection
We’ve stabilized the connection between Bullhorn Back Office and QuickBooks Online. Connection dropping for Back Office admin users should be less frequent, and more detailed logs will be provided if they do happen in the future. These logs will help provide information on the stability of the connection moving forward.
Timecard Approver’s Tab Performance
We’ve changed the Secondary Approver field on the Timecard Approver’s tab from a drop-down to a “type ahead” selection. With this update, response time improves as the application no longer has to load the entire list of secondary approvers when you select a value.
Onboarding is Now Built Into Bullhorn ATS/CRM!
Bullhorn users now have the ability to initiate and monitor the candidate onboarding process, both pre and post-hire, directly from the Bullhorn ATS/CRM! This includes sending existing documents and packets to candidates for completion, as well as viewing document status. With pre-hire functionality enabled, candidates can begin the onboarding process before a placement is made.
As part of this integration, we’ve added a new “Upcoming Job Starts” card, which allows Onboarding customers to track documents for placements starting soon. This card will appear on the new Placement dashboard. This new card and dashboard are Enterprise-only features.
Pre-Hire Support
Users are no longer limited to sending documents to candidates after they have been placed. With the addition of Pre-Hire document support, users can now send documents to candidates at any time. By sending and collecting documents from candidates early, firms can further reduce the time between placement and job start and the possibility of documents being returned late.
Candidate Updates
For customers using Bullhorn CRM, new candidates records (provided they meet the pre or post hire status or placement criteria) now push into Bullhorn Back Office and Bullhorn Onboarding immediately upon creation. Previously, newly created candidates moved to Bullhorn Back Office and Bullhorn Onboarding only after a user made an additional update on that candidate or associated placement record in the Bullhorn CRM.
Constant Contact – Remember Pushed Tearsheets
We’ve fixed the issue regarding our Constant Contact integration not remembering which tearsheets you had already pushed. Now, when you push a tearsheet to Constant Contact, if it has already been pushed to certain Constant Contact lists, Bullhorn indicates this with a check mark next to the list in the modal window.
Supplemental Timesheet Processing
We’ve fixed the issue with supplemental timesheets getting stuck in processing while sending to QuickBooks; they now send normally.
Footer Text Color
We’ve fixed the issue with the footer text in the application not matching what you select in the Control Panel. Previously, only the Change Password and Help buttons would match your selected color theme. It’s nice when all your colors match.
Pulse Tab on Candidate, Contact, and Company Records
We have added a new “Pulse” tab to Candidate, Contact, and Company records, giving users more visibility to Pulse information. This new tab will display the Pulse information that was previously only accessible via the preview slideouts on the company list views. Consistent with card behavior throughout the application, users will be able to add, remove, and reorder cards on this tab.
Note: Pulse features are available for Pulse and/or Enterprise customers only.
Pulse Talk – Phone Conversation Activity Card
You can now use Pulse to track your phone conversation activity! Driven by the Pulse Configuration page, the Phone Conversation Activity card can be used to track call history with a person or company. Users can also select a data point to view a log of calls made during that time period. This log will appear differently for companies and contacts.
Note: Pulse features are available for Pulse and/or Enterprise customers only.
Placement Dashboard – Placement Starts and Ends
We’ve added a new dashboard to Bullhorn! The Placement dashboard will be your place to view all the information you need to manage and monitor placements. With our new Placement Starts and Ends dashboard card, users can easily maintain visibility into placement starts and ends via a user-friendly calendar interface. This allows users to keep track of their upcoming starts, ensuring everything is in order beforehand, as well as any pending/upcoming ends, allowing them time to call hiring managers for contract extensions or to submit the candidate to other positions.
The Placement dashboard will be enabled automatically for all customers who already have the Job dashboard turned on. If you do not have the Job dashboard and are interested in this feature, please contact support.
Note: Dashboards are available in Enterprise Edition only.
Bullhorn is Now Integrated with Constant Contact!
Users can use this native email marketing integration to push lead and contact tearsheets into Constant Contact. You can also assign which Constant Contact lists you want the people on the tearsheet assigned to for marketing campaign purposes. For more information, click here.
Dashboard Card Performance
We have improved the performance of Job Response Times and Success Rates dashboard cards.
Pulse Talk – Phone Conversation Activity
Similar to Email Conversation Activity, it’s now possible to track and visualize Phone Conversation Activity. Driven by the Pulse Configuration page, the Phone Conversation Activity card can be used to track call history with a person or company. Users can also select a data point to view a log of calls made during that time period. This log will appear differently for companies versus contacts.
Note: This feature must be enabled simultaneously with the new Pulse Configuration Tool – please contact support to turn it on.
Pulse Configuration Page
We have added a new Tools menu item called Pulse Configuration. This will allow Pulse customer administrators to configure which note types drive the Phone Conversation Activity card. As we continue to expand the functionality of Pulse, this tool will grow to include configuration options for new features.
Note: This feature must be enabled simultaneously with the new Phone Conversation Activity Card – please contact support to turn it on.
Inline Editing of Time from Lists
We now support inline editing of time values for Date/Time fields on list views.
Form Trigger Support for Mobile
Form Triggers are now fully supported when adding and editing leads, candidates, contacts, companies, opportunities, jobs, and placements using Bullhorn for Mobile. This includes support for form trigger errors — if a form trigger fails for a user, a message displays in the mobile site detailing the issue.
Email Forwarding Support for Additional Providers
Bullhorn now supports email forwarding for four additional email providers: Rackspace (http://www.rackspace.com – Rackspace Email), Bluehost (http://www.bluehost.com/ – Google mail), HostGator (http://www.hostgator.com/ – Hostgator webmail), Intermedia (http://www.intermedia.net/ – POP email)
Burden Rate Calculations and Subsequent Conversions Can Vary During Setup
To increase consistency in burden rate calculations, a new setup setting has been created to clarify burden rate conversions, Assignment.Burden Rate Conversion. Previously, burden rates between 1.01 and 1.39 were automatically converted to a percentage.
With this setting, if set to Yes, burden rates from 1.01 to 1.39 will convert to a percentage. For example, 1.2 becomes 20%. If set to No, no conversion will happen and the burden rate will save as entered. This setting does not affect Permanent Placements, as they will always save with the entered burden rate. The setting is automatically set for existing customers according to current usage of burden rates.
Processing Times
We’ve made additional performance and stability improvements.
User Notifications by Branch
We’ve made an update that now allows users to send notifications by branch. Previously, notifications were not being sent for specified branches.
New In-App Notification System
We have added a new In App notification process to send messages to Administrators only. This will allow us to better communicate release notes and maintenance updates to just Administrators and not Employees and Managers.
New In-App Notification System
We have added a new In App notification process to send messages to Administrators only. This will allow us to better communicate release notes and maintenance updates to just Administrators and not Employees and Managers.
Expanded BBO APIs
Over the past several months, we have been significantly expanding the scope of our BBO API. These improvements provide unprecedented efficiency, flexibility, and power for anyone looking to develop custom systems or integrate with the BBO platform.
Improvements to Onboarding API
Over the past several months, we have been significantly expanding the scope of our Onboarding API. These improvements provide unprecedented efficiency, flexibility, and power for anyone looking to develop custom systems or integrate with the Onboarding platform.
Child Permissions Error and Documents Deleted from User Records
Daily Per Diem Calculation Error
We’ve fixed an issue where the daily per diem was being calculated from the number of time entries for a given day, rather than the day as a whole. The daily per diem is now calculated from a total of all time entries, not the number of time entries.
Saving Employees to Shared Branches
Administrators can now save employees to shared branches correctly.
Faster Find
With Bullhorn’s Faster Find, searching becomes even more efficient! To use Faster Find, simply type your criteria into the search field and results, with record details, display in the drop-down automatically. The more characters you type, the more refined your results will be. You can use Faster Find to search for leads (Enterprise edition only), contacts, companies, candidates, opportunities (Enterprise edition only), jobs, and placements. As an Administrator, you can even customize the columns that display on the Faster Find results page!
To learn more about Faster Find, click here. To request Faster Find for your company, contact Bullhorn Support.
Quick Note
With Bullhorn’s Quick Note, you can create and edit notes attached to a record from directly within the preview slideout. Quick Note can reference entities related to a record using the “@” and “#” functions, and provides a space to quickly view and access multiple new or existing notes.
To learn more about Quick Note, click here. To request Quick Note for your company, contact Bullhorn Support.
Adding Country and Zip Code Columns to Lists
Bullhorn is pleased to announce that you can now add Country and Zip/Postal code as columns on the Candidate, Contact, and Lead list views. When those columns are added, they can be sorted and filtered like other columns in the list.
Mapping Tool Enhancements
Bullhorn has enhanced the mapping tool that enables users to select one or more contacts or leads from their respective list views and view their locations on a map. Previously, the map view would open in a small window that was not ideal from a viewing or navigation perspective. With the enhancement in the current release, the map takes over the entire view within Bullhorn, allowing for a much larger map to be displayed. When the user is done viewing the map, a red X in the upper-right-hand corner can be used to return the user to the list from which the map was initiated.
Zapier Integration Bullhorn now integrates with the Zapier Development Platform
Zapier is an easy-to-use integration platform that allows users to connect Bullhorn with over 500 other applications such as MailChimp, Constant Contact, Google, and more. To learn more, please visit the Bullhorn Marketplace.
Queue Optimization
Process queues have been optimized in order to minimize latency when sending employees signup notification emails and when processing timesheets.
BBO APIs
We are continuing to build out the BBO API, and have recently made improvements in the following areas:
-
Document visibility
-
Assignment visibility
-
Employee records
-
Onboarding records
-
Payables
-
Surfacing APIs
-
Improved documentation
Invoicing Improvements
We have improved invoicing to provide greater support for invoice grouping and supplemental timesheets.
Supplemental Timesheets
We no longer require that supplemental timesheets be on a separate invoice. This helps avoid confusion for clients receiving invoices.
Improved Document History Pop-Up
To increase stability and provide a cleaner look, the document history pop-up window has been converted to HTML.
Onboarding API
The Onboarding API has been expanded in the following areas:
-
Document visibility
-
Assignment visibility
-
Employee records
-
Onboarding records
Conversation Activity
Track the history of your inbound and outbound email volume by Day, Month, Year, and All Time. Click to drill down and discover what conversations required the most communications.
Engagement Summary
Gain valuable insights into your relationships that will allow you to maximize engagement and retain customer health. Details include length of relationship, date last contacted, best time of day to email and best day of the week to email.
Top Engaged Coworkers
The Top Engaged Coworkers card will quickly show you who in your organization has the strongest relationship with a given contact. By determining who at your company has the longest relationship with the contact, as well as when they last reached out, you’ll know who is your best internal resource for that account or candidate.
Submissions Column on Candidate List
We’ve fixed an issue regarding an inaccurate submission count on the candidate list due to web responses also being included in that count. With the resolution of this issue, the Submissions column on the candidate list now reflects the correct count.
Full Support for Opportunity Tracks
With this release we have added full support for Opportunity tracks. Now each opportunity track can have a separate View Layout. With this enhancement, administrators can configure each track so that only relevant fields are displayed for each Opportunity track.
Email Tracking Card on Candidates
The Email Tracking card has been added to the Candidate slideout. The “Email Tracking” card allows users to easily view email correspondence at a glance by launching the slideout from the Candidate list.
Support for Microsoft Edge
Bullhorn has been working through the process of certifying its platform for the Edge browser, and, with the exception of some minor cosmetic and functional issues that continue to be resolved, the new browser is supported.
Merging Candidate Records
The candidate merge feature has been enhanced to include more information in the merge. In this release, merging two candidate records will bring over all of the information that it did in previous releases, however, it will also bring work history, education, reference, and assessment information over from the secondary record into the primary record, making the merged record more complete.
Printing-Related Entitlements for Tearsheets
In this release, printing-related entitlements have been updated for tearsheets. For example, if a tearsheet contains candidates, contacts, and jobs, and you do not want a particular user to be able to print one or more of those types of records when printing the tearsheet, you now have the ability to disable the printing of, say, the jobs. At that point, the user would be able to print the tearsheet, but the system would automatically omit the jobs from the printed version.
Radius Search for Contacts
It is now possible to filter contacts using a radius search on a mobile device.
Add Placements Entitlement
We have added an action entitlement called “Add Placements via Mobile” that determines if a user can add a Placement from the mobile application.
Automatically Generate Notification Email
We have enhanced the Email Notification functionality in mobile to match the behavior on the desktop. When a user adds a note from within mobile and selects to email notify individuals, we will automatically send an email notification when the note is saved. Previously, we called the native email client and the user had to send the email notification manually using their mobile device.
Section Headers for Opportunities
We have added section headers to the Field Mappings for each Opportunity track. For more information on Section Headers, please review our “Understanding Bullhorn Field Edit Types” document here.
Onboarding API Improvements
Onboarding API was expanded to support bulk creation through the API.
Transferring Ownership of Contacts and Candidates
We’ve fixed an issue with the Record Ownership Transfer feature on the user account page related to the transfer of ownership for secondary owners on contacts and candidates. Previously, the Records dropdown was not counting secondary ownership in the record count despite the fact that the ownership was being transferred. Also, the transferred records for secondary owners were not showing up on the individual list views, making it appear as if the transfer did not occur.
With the resolution of this issue, the Records dropdown now displays a total count of records where the user is either the primary or secondary owner when it comes to contacts and candidates, and the individual list views are being updated appropriately. Note that for jobs, the record count only includes jobs where the user is the primary owner (e.g., the salesperson) because secondary owners (referred to as assignees; e.g., one or more recruiters) do not transfer ownership when it comes to jobs.
Finally, a hint has been added beneath the Transfer Ownership To drop-down to clarify what is happening with the transfer of contacts, candidates, and jobs.
Pluralization of Entity Titles
We’ve fixed an issue with the automatic pluralization of customized entity titles on menus and other areas in Bullhorn. Previously, certain entity titles, such as “Employer,” “Lawyer,” and “Physician” were being pluralized incorrectly.
Filtering Contacts by Skills
An issue has been resolved with regard to filtering the Contacts list by the Skills column or a skills-related search. Previously, when filtering the Contacts list by typing a skill name into the Skills column header or performing a skills-related search, the list would not filter correctly because the system was expecting the user to type the skill’s ID number instead of the actual name of the skill. With the resolution of this issue, the Skills column and skill-related searches are now filtering on the skill names as opposed to their system-generated ID numbers.
Adding Files with Identical Filenames
An issue has been resolved where a file that is sent to a parsing address would not be added to the Files tab of the appropriate record if a file with an identical name was already associated with that record. With the resolution of this issue, the file will now be added to the record regardless of whether or not it has the same name as an existing file.
Searching Leads by Phone Number and Email Address
An issue has been resolved where performing a phone number or email address search via Fast Find would not return leads who have that number or address. With the resolution of this issue, leads are now being returned appropriately when their phone numbers or email addresses are included in a Fast Find search.
Count of Submissions not Appearing on Job Tearsheet
We’ve fixed an issue where the count of submissions for a job was not appearing correctly in the Submissions column on a Job tearsheet. With the resolution of this issue, the correct submission count now appears on the tearsheet.
Viewing an Auto-Created Work History
An issue has been resolved with regard to viewing a candidate’s work history when the history is being created automatically from the candidate’s placements. Previously, in this scenario, the company name and job title did not appear on the work history record on either the Experience tab in the candidate slideout (accessed via the binoculars icon on the candidate list) or the Work History tab in the candidate record. With the resolution of this issue, both of those areas are now showing the appropriate information when work history records are created automatically from placements.
Currency Display on Tearsheets
We’ve fixed an issue with currency fields on a tearsheet list always displaying a US dollar sign regardless of the currency format that was set in the system. With the resolution of this issue, the correct currency sign will now be displayed on a tearsheet list.
Completing a Recurring Task
We’ve fixed an issue with recurring tasks showing up on the task list. Previously, when a recurring task was marked as completed from the Activity >> Related Tasks area of the system, the next task in the recurring series would appear in that area, however, it would not appear on the task list itself. With the resolution of this issue, when a recurring task is completed from the Activity >> Related Tasks area, the next task in the recurring series will appear in that area as well as on the task list.
Navigating via Workflow Icons
We’ve fixed an issue where navigating to subsequent sections of the Activity tab by clicking on relevant workflow icons was not taking the user to the appropriate section after an initial section had been accessed. Now, all clicks on activity-related workflow icons now take the user to the Activity tab with the appropriate section expanded.
Lead, Opportunity, and Placement References on Recurring Tasks
We’ve fixed an issue with lead, opportunity, and placement references carrying over incorrectly for recurring tasks. Previously, when a recurring task was marked as completed from the Related Tasks section on the Activity tabs of either of these record types, any lead, opportunity, and/or placement references were not being carried over to the next task in the recurring series. With the resolution of this issue, those references are now correctly carried over when recurring tasks are marked as completed.
Mass Updating Candidate Source
An issue has been resolved with regard to updating the source for one or more candidates directly from the candidate list via the mass actions drop-down. Previously, in this scenario, the update to the source was not being captured in the Edit History for the candidate(s) whose source had been changed via the mass action. With the resolution of this issue, the change is now shown in the Edit History for all candidates who were included in the update.
Adding Records to a Tearsheet Just Got Easier!
When adding records (either individually from a record or en masse from a list) to a tearsheet, filter the list to see your tearsheets, your department’s tearsheets, or your entire company’s tearsheets. Your filter selection is “sticky,” meaning it will be remembered the next time you click on Add to Tearsheet.
Previous Bug Fixes
Calendar invitations will now display properly for Office 365 users (only users who are internal to your company, that is) when the owner of an appointment is changed during the creation of that appointment. The Specialty (specialtyCategoryID) field now lists all values that match search input in specialty pickers. We also fixed an issue where email notifications for tasks and appointments were not being sent. Additionally, Drop-down field types no longer allow saving a blank value. Next, we fixed an issue where Fast Find on Bullhorn for Mobile wasn’t working with special characters. Also, mass updating task or placement dates no longer updates the time to the current time (the original time is preserved). Finally, Custom Importing leads will not import duplicates unless you choose to do so.
Automatically Parse in Emailed Resumes
Want to have the system automatically update an existing candidate’s resume when the candidate applies by email to the address that your company has set up to receive resumes? Now you can make that happen by getting in touch with Support to request that this feature be enabled.
With this feature enabled, when candidates who already have records in your database send their new resumes to your Resume Parsing Address, those resumes will now “parse as existing”; meaning, the resume content will automatically update the candidate record’s Resume field (which is also what displays on the candidate list preview slideout). The new resume is also added as an attachment under the candidate record’s Files tab. For more information about automatic resume parsing, view the What is the Automatic Resume Parser? FAQ.
If the feature is not enabled, the new resume will simply be added as a file attachment to the candidate record (which is existing functionality).
Copy Custom Objects on Opportunity Conversion
Custom Objects can now be copied on Opportunity conversion. For data that is relevant on both Opportunities and Jobs, Custom Objects can now be copied when an Opportunity is converted. The Custom Object on the Job will retain all the same information provided on the Opportunity.
Lists and Search
Users are once again able to remove saved searches from their Favorites list. The removal is done by using an “x” icon that appears to the right of the search name when the user hovers over a saved search in the list. Next, we fixed an issue with searching multiple specialties or categories in additional search criteria. Additionaly, users can now filter the “Owner” column on the submissions list by name. Also, the Contact list in a Company record displays correct field map labels after switching Private Labels.
