January Release Notes 2025

Welcome to the January edition of our release notes! We’re excited to share the latest enhancements, quality of life improvements, and bug fixes that aim to make your experience with Scout Talent even better.

  • Copy Email Button: Added a button to copy email addresses directly from the new application page, streamlining communication workflows.

  • Smart Form SMS Alert: Receive an alert when attempting to send a form via SMS without the necessary smart form placeholder.

  • Candidate Titles: Candidate names on the new application page now include their titles (e.g., Dr., Prof.) for better context.

  • Document Upload Limit Message: An error message now notifies users if the combined size of uploaded documents exceeds the 18 MB limit.
  • Manual Login Reset: Admins can now manually reset accounts locked due to excessive login attempts.
  • Indeed Sponsorship Notification: A new checkbox allows clients to notify their customer success manager about jobs to be sponsored on Indeed.
  • Unlimited Login Attempts Blocked: Implemented a security enhancement to prevent attackers from attempting unlimited login attempts.
  • UK Career Portal Domain: Launched an “applyfirst.uk” domain for UK-based clients.

  • Formatting for Checkbox Answers: Checkbox answers now appear as a list, reflecting their intended format.
  • Onboard Integration Tab: “Export to Onboard” is now available on the integrations tab of the new application page.
  • Onboard Express: Rolled out Onboard Express on the new applications page.
  • Advanced Reporting (Beta): Released a revamped reports architecture, starting with the Placements Advanced Report.

  • SEEK Multiposter now better pulls through job descriptions from :Recruit, requiring little to no edits.
  • Candidate Page Performance: Improved caching for smoother access to the candidates page.

Exciting Update: Enhanced Referoo Integration!

We’ve enhanced our Referoo integration, making it even more streamlined and user-friendly. Here’s what’s new:

  • Introducing Packages for Checks: You can now select packages alongside individual questionnaires. This reduces steps when requesting multiple checks for a candidate, allowing you to gather all required information in one centralised process. 
  • Shareable, Read-Only Links: Effortlessly share candidate check details with non-Referoo users through a single, secure, read-only link. No login required, making collaboration simpler and more efficient. 

Start using these enhancements today and experience the difference!

Quality of Life Improvements

  • Partial Tag Matching: Tags can now be searched using partial and embedded matches, making tag management faster and more intuitive.
  • Breadcrumb Navigation: Improved breadcrumb navigation to prevent long job or application names from wrapping onto multiple lines.

  • Formatting Options: Restored the ability to format questions on the new applications page, such as adding line breaks.

  • SEEK Ad Updates: Edits to SEEK ads in :Recruit now seamlessly pull through to SEEK.

Bug fixes

  • Activity Page Error: Fixed an issue causing the activities page to go blank when a user was not attached to an activity.
  • Android Login: Resolved an issue where Android users couldn’t log in without a specific permission enabled.
  • Attachment Previews: Addressed inconsistencies between scrolling through .PDF files versus .doc and .docx files.
  • Duplicate Checkboxes: Corrected an error caused by selecting duplicate checkboxes.
  • Email Body Cursor: Fixed an issue where hitting “Enter” in the email body moved the text cursor to the top.
  • Smart Form Printing: Resolved an issue where printing a smart form caused it to cut off after a certain length.
  • IP Login Lockouts: Fixed an issue where multiple failed login attempts on the same IP affected all users on that IP.
  • Notepad Saving: Ensured notepad information no longer disappears when navigating away without saving.
  • SMS Placeholders: Resolved issues with user-related placeholders not working in SMS.

These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to improving your hiring process and ensuring a seamless user experience. If you have any questions or feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.

Stay tuned for more updates in the months ahead!
