4/6 Release

New

• We added background check package options that allow you to conduct a federal criminal background check on potential candidates. Federal crimes, which can be very serious, don’t appear in state or local databases. Search 92 federal districts to retrieve state-level records from federal district courts to discover crimes committed against the United States government.

• Perform a standard DOT-approved drug test and/or random, post-accident or reasonable suspicion drug screening and breath alcohol testing. 

Fixed

• We fixed a display issue associated with the “attach file” button when an applicant tries to submit a resume or cover letter. The text appeared at the very bottom of the button, but now appears centered.
• We fixed an issue that prevented customers from syncing their accounts with our Clickboarding integration. This issue was caused by an incorrect location tag associated with our customers’ accounts.
• We fixed an issue that impacted select customers that caused the Users page not to load inside their account. This issue was limited to users with Admin permissions. The culprit was redundant code embedded in the users’ permissions that caused pages to time out while loading.

Improvements

• With the move from UserVoice to Zendesk, we have updated all Knowledge Base reference links to point to support.hireology.com, which redirects to Zendesk. Any future iterations will require a single update to point support.hireology.com to the new host.

Fixed

• We created a validation on the application that requires users to submit a valid, 10-digit phone number with their application. Previously, users were able to enter non-standardized phone numbers in an application that resulted in issues for hiring managers trying to contact candidates.
• We fixed a Mobile iOS issue that prevented long City and State combinations in the Jobs to Review section from wrapping as expected, causing overlap with the job next to it. 
• We fixed an issue where no error message was displayed when a blank resume is used to apply on mobile iOS web. Users are now shown an error message and advised to try submitting their application again via a desktop or laptop computer.

• We added a path for users who created a new job without any hiring steps to go back and add hiring steps after the job is created.

2/9 Release

Improvements

• With future versions of JavaScript, pages may break when attempting to create a pdf with wicked_pdf (current service). We created a static version of the candidate document application page that doesn't require JavaScript so that there is no chance that will happen. 

Fixed

• We fixed an issue that caused Android users on mobile web to be able to see the mobile candidate search feature when it was turned off. Code leaked from behind the flipper causing this issue.

Fixed

• We fixed an issue that caused the edit and save buttons to overlap with the section header on mobile web.

1/12 Release

Fixed

• We fixed an issue that caused the checklist for a candidate associated with a job to flicker while we show the loader for a second and then reappears. 
• We fixed an issue that allowed users to submit email addresses with the ‘%’ character, which caused errors on the backend when submitted.

• We fixed an issue that displayed interviews with a score of 0% as having been scored manually once the user clicked into the Interview page. The score percentage and risk diagram were also missing in this view.
