Enabled by Default.

File Image Capture Button Does Not Open Webcam

I-9 Corrections 

An issue has been resolved where I-9 Corrections for Section 2 were transitioning into a “Restart” status if the I-9 was abandoned at the signing step.  Now, the “Waiting” status will persist until the I-9 correction is signed.  This improvement streamlines the I-9 correction process for a smoother user experience.

Form I-9 

The 2023 version of the Form I-9 will now be the only section of the I-9 that can be assigned in workflows, preventing the assignment of Section 2 and Supplement B as individual forms. This ensures consistency in I-9 assignment practices, mirroring the behavior of the earlier version of the I-9.

E-Verify 

Form I-9 corrections will no longer trigger an E-Verify case, allowing employers to determine whether a new case is required once a correction is made.

Preliminary Information: Req_fed_id Setting 

An issue has been resolved where when an applicant fills out their preliminary info page after receiving a form with the req_fed_id setting disabled and then receives a form with the req_fed_id setting enabled the applicant is now brought to their preliminary info page to fill in their SSN and/or date of birth.

Preliminary Information: Middle Name 

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. Additionally, their middle name will be updated on the Preliminary Information page to the name that was entered on the Basic Information page.

When mapping Placement fields to a form, any HTML formatting that was in the Placement field will now be respected on the form.

Credentials

Performance and stability have been improved when managing Credentials for clients with a large amount of Credentials.

I-9 Section 2: Email Link Error

An issue has been resolved where exiting I-9 Section 2 at the signature step led to an error with the Auth Rep email link.  Now, the link is functional even after the I-9 has been accessed, providing a smooth restart process for authorized representatives without regular user access to OTE.

Form Builder

Administrators can now include a location’s main email in the form builder, enhancing candidate onboarding by providing direct access to essential contact information.

Enabled by Default.

Custom User Role 

Previously, Custom User roles were built off of Admin users were not able to see the Automation Manager tab. This issue has been resolved. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Section 3 completion process has been enhanced by providing additional guidance and clearer instructions.

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.

• Employment Authorization Document that Contains a Photograph (Form I-766)
• Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) with Form I-797

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Candidates who have completed a package of forms can now view and download individual forms separately, providing more flexibility and convenience.
