Product Update Category: VMS Sync
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

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.

- 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.
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.
