Date Fix Description
January 5 Bulk Nurture: Some users may have run into errors when trying to bulk nurture confidential posting candidates. The issue has been identified and resolved.
January 7 Accounts with multi-domains were seeing disabled settings unrelated to the logged-in email suite account. There was a fix to make sure the email suite level settings were honored.
January 25 Canceling interviews: Previously, when a candidate was archived and the option to cancel upcoming interviews was selected, calendar events were not being deleted from the actual external calendar. This issue has been resolved, and cancellation of upcoming interviews through the profile archive flow should remove them from the actual external calendar, in addition to Lever.
February 1 Failure to parse a resume will no longer result in receiving an error and the creation of an opportunity failing.
February 9 Text inputs: When highlighting text and replacing it, some users experienced an issue where their cursor would jump to the end of the input. This impacted feedback forms, as well as other inputs like search, but has now been resolved.
February 11 Diversity Survey: For accounts with a "candidate self-selection" diversity survey and "survey non-applicants" enabled, applicants would also receive a survey link when the candidate passed the specified trigger stage. This issue has been resolved. Note that the issue did not result in duplicate responses as we only allow one survey response.
March 10 Job Posting Filters: The Dept/Team and Location filters on the job posting home page allow users to scroll through all possible options, regardless of screen size.
March 11 Zoom conferencing: This fix allows for candidate event information to be updated when re-scheduling interviews. For panels that include Zoom conferencing, the updated invitation will contain any updated event information to ensure the candidate and interviewer have the updated Zoom meeting links.
March 25 Dropdown search: Some users experienced an intermittent cursor-jumping issue when using the search input of certain drop-downs, like the ones for requisitions, postings, and users, and has since been resolved.
April 19 Candidates List Action Buttons: All candidates' list action buttons will update and reflect the proper recommended action instead of defaulting to the "Schedule" button.
April 29 For customers using dynamic offers, clicking into and out of a currency field without making edits will no longer record a value of "0." The dynamic section will only be added if an actual value is entered. In addition, currency fields on an offer will now default to having no value, rather than "0" as the default.
