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!
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.

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.
Timeout Login
An issue was resolved to ensure that users who are on the Notes, Work History, or References tabs are presented with the session-timeout modal when their session times-out so that they are able to log back into Bullhorn.
Shift Conflicts
An issue was resolved that caused the system to not alert the shift scheduler that a candidate has already been assigned to a conflicting shift when they assign the candidate to a newly created shift.
Reset to Default
An issue was resolved that caused an error to occur, and prevented changes from being saved, when users selected the ‘Reset to Default’ button on the Scheduler Configuration page.
Delete Shift
An issue was resolved that caused the placeholder “{entityLabel}”, instead of “Shift Definition”, to be displayed in the warning message when a user selected the action item “Delete” for a shift definition.
Localization of User Preferences Page
Localization has been added to the User Preferences page in Bullhorn ATS. Users viewing Bullhorn in a language other than English will now see the user preferences in their selected language.
Hints for Dropdown Fields
We resolved an issue to ensure that hints setup for dropdown fields are shown in Novo.
Email Sent Time
An issue was resolved where the timestamp in an email being forwarded from Bullhorn would revert to ET even if the user is in a different timezone. Moving forward, the timestamp will respect the user’s timezone setting and display the appropriate time in the forwarded email.
Credential Status Field on Placement Header
Clients using Credentialing v2 are now able to add the Credential Status Progress Bar to the Placement Header.

The Submission Start Date and End Date are now available as a column on the Submission List allowing a user to quickly view when multiple submissions have been started or ended streamlining there workflows and allowing them to put candidates to work faster.

Saving Placement Change Requests
An issue was resolved that prevented placement change requests from saving.
Localize Candidate Submission Status Email Template
Two new system settings have been added to support the Job Submission Notification email. The settings can be used to support personalizing the email being sent or for sending the email in a language other than English. The system settings will respect merge fields so that users can ensure information specific to the Submission is included in the email. The new settings are JobSubmissionNotificationEmailSubjectLine and JobSubmissionNotificationEmailBody.
Localize Canvas Column Headers and Tabs
Canvas has been updated to ensure that Column Headers and tabs respect the French Locale setting throughout so that the readability of the system is improved, and users can complete their tasks efficiently.
Localize Certification Tab
Localization has been added to the Generate Document page on the Certification tab.
Credential Status Progress Bar Header
Clients using Credentialing v2 are now able to add the Credential Status Progress Bar to the header of the Credential List. The Progress Bar will provide a snapshot of the overall progress toward a placement meeting the credential requirements for the placement. To enable this in the placement header update the system setting called PlacementCredentialListStatusBar to true.
Credential Overview Card
The Credential Overview Card is available on the Placement Overview tab. Using the information on this card, recruiters, compliance managers, and credentialing specialists can swiftly determine whether the necessary credentials have been obtained for a placement.
The Credential Overview Card consists of a Progress Meter and Status Buttons.
- Progress Meter: Uses a calculation of the total number of required credentials for the placement and the count of credentials in a “Completed” status to display a visual representation of the credentialing progress.
- Status Buttons: Shows a visual count of credentials for each defined status group.
This feature can be adjusted to meet the needs of the clients utilizing System Settings.
“Add Submission” when a Matching Web Response Exists
The candidate submissions workflow has been optimized by eliminating unnecessary steps. When a candidate has a web response submission in Bullhorn for a job, users will no longer be able to add a new submission for that candidate on that same job.

To help improve readability for international clients, we have localized the table column headers for the Opportunity Edit History and the Status History on the Opportunity Activity tab so that the field names are automatically translated based on a user’s locale setting.
Novo Picker Triggering Change Field Interactions when Backspace is Pressed
An issue within picker controls was resolved so that if a Change Field Interaction is being used, it will not fire if the user hits backspace while typing so that other updates are not impacted before the selection is made. Previously, if a user hit the backspace, other filters or changes would be lost due to the Change Field Interaction firing requiring the user to go back and redo their selections.
Email Alerts for Self Heal Status Updates
