When an applicant selects “I do not have a middle name” check box on the Preliminary Information page and then enters a Middle name on the Basic Information page, the “I do not have a middle name” check box on the Preliminary Information page will become un-checked.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
