Data compliance - Configure lawful basis by country (LeverTRM)
The lawful basis (candidate consent or legitimate interest) configured in country's data compliance setting now only applies to job postings based in that country. Prior to this update, the lawful basis configured in a country's data compliance settings would apply to all countries. To learn more, refer to our help article on configuring localized data compliance settings.
hcaptcha upgrade (LeverTRM)
We have upgraded our hcaptcha implementation with even stricter privacy controls. With this upgrade, applicants will be verified without having to complete an hcaptcha challenge 99.9% of the time when submitting applications. In addition to improved privacy, this upgrade also provides a more seamless applicant experience.
Improvements
Reporting Warehouse Schema
Data Warehouse Sync as well as Snowflake Data Sharing schema will be updated to include an additional column in the 'postings' table to capture the 'workplace type' field. To support this update, there will also be the addition of a new enum table that contains the available values for the workplace type field. These changes provide classification for onsite, remote, and hybrid postings. You can find the most current documentation on our schema here: https://cdn.lever.co/dws-documentation/index.html
Paylocity integration update
We are upgrading our Paylocity integration with improved infrastructure to enhance reliability. The improved experience will include updated end-user communication (e.g. via notes and tags) and updated error handling. To learn more, refer to our help article on the Paylocity integration.
