Updated

  • Talent Network. Updates to Talent Networks makes it easier than ever for candidates to join! These enhancements simplify the process and reduce applicant drop off. [1059172]

    • Decouples the manual profile builder from the resume parsing, allowing for any/all fields (not just required fields) to parse from a resume.

    • Allows for greater flexibility for recruiters to determine the necessary required fields for a manual profile creation without having to consider fields parsing from a resume.

    • Easier for candidates to apply regardless of whether they have a resume at their immediate disposal.

    Please contact talentsupport@symplr.com to request updates to your Talent Network configurations.

Updated

  • HealthcareSource Job Board. Support for the HealthcareSource Job Board is ending on October 31, 2024. After this date, the HealthcareSource Job Board option will no longer be available when posting jobs from symplr Talent Sourcing. No functionality is changing within symplr Recruiting, and no action is required by customers. [1018635]

Resolved

  • Talent Network. Users were unable to upload resumes from Indeed when joining a Talent Network. This fix improves the mobile and desktop candidate experience by parsing the resume data from Indeed to the configured fields on the Talent Network join form, simplifying the process. [738222, Case 1515582]

    Uploading from Indeed requires a configuration update, so please contact talentsupport@symplr.com for assistance.

  • Talent Network. Users attempting to cancel out of the Join Network process were getting caught in an error loop that prevented them exiting back to the home page. [924921, Case 1704193]

Resolved

  • Talent Network. Users were unable to upload resumes from Google Drive when joining a Talent Network. This fix improves the mobile and desktop candidate experience by parsing the resume data from Google Drive to the configured fields on the Talent Network join form, simplifying the process. [944815]

Updated

  • User Menu. The User Menu in the navigation bar received some minor updates. These are cosmetic only and do not change any functionality.

    • The User Menu is now accessed via a new Persona Coin. This coin displays the user's initials instead of their system username.

    • This new coin has moved to the right of the Help menu.

Updated

  • Selective Job Broadcast. Support for Selective Job Broadcast has been discontinued by the third-party provider. Though this retirement does remove existing functionality, there are alternate methods available for posting jobs to ensure you're still reaching the right candidates.

    The retirement only affects users of Selective Job Broadcast, and those customers have been notified separately. Please visit the User Assistance Center for more information.

Updated

  • Interface text. In an effort to eliminate confusion, wording related to email activity has been updated to say, "[user] initiated an email to [candidate] in [search context]. Check candidate's Messages tab to verify delivery." [809509, Case 1601177]

Resolved

  • Tags. Applicant tags were being dropped from a candidate's profile when merged with another profile. [751224, Case 1525388]

Updated

  • Imports. Tags can now be removed from existing candidates in bulk during imports. A new Remove tags for existing candidates checkbox in the New Import window removes any current tags for candidates that already exist in the system. Tags included in the import are added to profiles. [622988]

  • Date Range filters. Custom date ranges can now be used when searching using date range filters (Last Viewed, Last Noted, Last Emailed, Last Called, and Last Applied), allowing for more flexibility within these filters. [627939]

  • Source. The Source page now automatically loads all candidates when opening this page, eliminating the need to click Search first before all candidate results are displayed. [775345]

  • Reports. The Views, Starts, and Complete fields on the Source to Job report are now counted by unique requisition and not broken down by job titles, preventing confusion over source accuracy. [781450]

Resolved

  • Selected Candidates. Users were briefly presented with an incorrect list of menu items when clicking the Selected Candidates option on the Source page. [615229]

  • Import Status indicator. Text displayed when hovering over a completed import was not wrapping appropriately. [756985]

Updated

  • Profile imports. The candidate import process has been enhanced to allow for the importer to determine whether or not they want to override the existing primary profile on a candidate record as a part of the import process, saving time and manual processing of profile updates. [578169]

  • Internal filters. New Internal Only filters are now available on career sites, allowing internal candidates to filter postings for internal applicants only. Additionally, internal-only career sites can now be configured if desired. Please email talentsupport@symplr.com for configuration assistance. [732228]

  • User imports. For customers with ATS integrations, users previously needed to be created in the ATS in order for them to be set up in Talent Sourcing, even if they didn't need access to the ATS. Users can now be created directly in symplr Talent Sourcing by checking the Ignore in Import checkbox when creating a new user. This prevents the user from being inactivated every time the user sync runs from the ATS to Talent Sourcing. [637394]

Resolved

  • Job Title formatting. When searching for candidates related to Job Title search criteria, the work history results in an applicant's profile were not bolded. [767201]
