Product Updates

   NEW New ability to search text via “Does Not Contain” 💡We’ve launched a new way to search and filter applications, opportunities and more. You already have the ability to search where a field contains certain text using the “Contains” option. Now, you’ll be able to search where a field doesn’t contain certain text, so that you can exclude key words or phrases. Improved flow of fields in Expression EditorWe’ve made a user interface improvement to the Expression Editor which is used to create and change Expressions in many areas of configuration. We’ve re-ordered the insert options so they flow: Item, Operator, Value. This order makes more sense for how you’d naturally create an Expression so it’s be easier to use. FIXES Comments in child layouts now display in widgets 💡Previously, if you were using a child layout to display comments, this would work fine when viewed as a Table Layout, but if added to a dashboard as part of a widget, no comments would be displayed. We’ve fixed this so that comments in child layouts will still displayed when added to a dashboard. Date picker UI fixWe’ve made a fix to how the calendar date picker behaves when you scroll the screen. The calendar will now close if the window is scrolled. This prevents an issue where the calendar would detach from the field, which could be confusing.  These changes were released on 9th July 2025 in version 3.399💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

   NEW Candidate’s applications ordered by newest first 💡When a candidate is logged into the portal, they can click on their name to show a list of the applications they have made. Now, this list will show in chronological order with the newest at the top. This will make it easier for the candidate to find the most relevant applications. Don’t show “Minimum Percentage Threshold” when adding a Statistics Report axisWhen adding a new axis to a Statistics Report, we show a popup box to allow you to enter a minimum percentage threshold. While this is a useful feature, it’s not used so frequently that it needs to show each time an axis is added.We’ve changed it so that this is no longer shown when adding an axis. If you do want to set this value, you’ll be able to choose it after the axis is added. You can find it under “Edit Axis” in the Edit menu. Accessibility improvementsOn the Data Dictionary screen, we’ve improved the contrast between the text and background colours of selected groups. FIXESSupport for GA4 💡In this release, we’ve adding support for GA4. So, if you track stats through Google Analytics, you’ll now receive this data in your GA4 account. For more information on Google Tag Manager and Analytics, see our feature sheet. These changes were released on 25th June 2025 in version 3.398💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

   NEW Add default table URLs for recruiters and candidatesPreviously, we made it easier to create Table Layouts by adding a default double click URL that was appropriate for the type of layout being created. We’ve extended this so that when you’re creating Table Layouts for candidate or recruiter users, you’ll also get the matching URL added by default. Making it clearer to add custom errors for mandatory fieldsWhen editing the settings of a Form Item from the Form Editor, we’ve made some changes to improve the clarity of one of the fields. The custom error message field is where you can set what’s shown to the user when a mandatory field is not completed. As a result, we’ve move it directly under the Mandatory option and made it visible only when that box is checked. Accessibility improvementsWhen adding search criteria using the advanced search, we now show the name of the field for which you’re selecting the criteria. This makes is extra visible what you are doing on this page, which is very useful if you’re distracted by other things. It improves accessibility and reduces the cognitive load.We’ll also change the confirmation pop-ups to be more accessible. When you hover over the “x” to close the notification, it’ll become larger. FIXES Include ‘noindex’ tag on direct links for invalid vacanciesRecently, we made a change to include the ‘noindex’ tag for vacancies that weren’t valid (e.g. passed the closing date). In this release, we’ll include this for direct apply links which are used when posting to external job boards. Replace interview URLs with clickable links when exporting as PDFWhen downloading an interview schedule, the interview URL will be replaced with a clickable link. This makes it easier to access and stops the meeting URL from overrunning onto other parts of the document.  These changes were released on 11th June 2025 in version 3.397💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

   NEW Last updated date and last updated by info on Report HubFollowing our recent change to Stats Reports to include the date that the report was last updated and who made that change, we’ve rolled out the same information to our Report Hub. Show where Form Sections are used when editing from the Form Sections screenWe’ve added an infobox that shows when you’re editing a Form Section. Similar to when you edit the Form Section from the Form itself, this will give information on which Forms are using the Section. This makes it clearer what the changes you are making will affect and gives a more consistent user experience. Using One Shot Forms to trigger status updatesWe’ve introduced functionality to expand the options when building a process flow. With this update, submitting a One Shot Form is able to trigger an update to the status. This can be enabled and disabled using a checkbox when editing a process flow FIXES Full name search now works with interview participantsWhen adding participants to an interview, the search previously worked with only first or last names. Now, the search will find the correct person if their full name is entered. Assorted UI fixesWe’ve made several UI fixes to ensure the platform appears correctly at all screen sizes and zoom levels. This includes: when posting a job to a job board, when editing search criteria and when navigating the ATS as a candidate. Accessibility fixesWe’ve fixed an issue with the search criteria modal which prevented keyboard users from tabbing backwards These changes were released on 28th May 2025 in version 3.396💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

   NEW Ability to select an application centre when moving or copying an application 💡Now, when you move or copy an application to another vacancy, you can choose which application centre to use. If you leave it blank, it’ll use the application centre from the original application. If you don’t use multiple application centres, you won’t see this option. FIXES Only show the Input Layout setting where relevantWhen adding a Form Item to a Form, you can use the Input Layout setting to determine whether radio buttons or checkboxes appear horizontally or vertically. With this update, the Input Layout field setting now only appears if the Form Item is configured as a radio button or checkbox. This will make it clearer when this setting will have an effect. Confirmation when creating a job alert with no criteriaIt’s possible to save a job alert with no criteria. This will alert a candidate of all new jobs. While this can be useful, we like to make sure that’s what a candidate intends. This fix re-enables a pop-up that confirms their choice. Accessibility improvementsWe’ve fixed an issue where dropdown inputs were displaying incorrectly when select2 is switched off in a user’s preferences.Following on from our previous update to focus indicators, we’ve also fixed a few occasions where the indicator didn’t appear quite right. These changes were released on 14th May 2025 in version 3.395💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

We're excited to announce the launch of our latest integration with Yoti, a leading digital identity platform, now available within Oleeo Recruit. At Oleeo, we understand the critical importance and potential administrative burden of accurately conducting Right to Work checks. That's why we're thrilled to launch our integration with Yoti, now seamlessly embedded within the Oleeo Recruit platform. This powerful addition is designed to significantly streamline the process of checking candidates for their right to work in the UK. It makes it more efficient and secure for both your team and your valued candidates by simplifying verification and reducing administrative burdens. How it worksAs with all our integrations, there’s considerable flexibility in how these can be incorporated into your process. Here’s how it works: At the chosen time in the application flow, candidates are prompted to verify their identity for Right to Work checks. This seamlessly directs them to Yoti's secure platform to complete the required verification steps. The candidate is then taken back to the application centre. Once the verification is successful, the Right to Work status is communicated back to the Oleeo Recruit platform.  Key benefitsSimplify Compliance: Effortlessly fulfil your legal obligations for Right to Work checks, reducing administrative burden and minimizing the risk of non-compliance. Enhance Candidate Experience: Offer a quick and user-friendly identity verification process, leading to a smoother and more positive onboarding experience.Ready to simplify your Right to Work checks? Contact your Customer Success Manager today.You can also learn more about how Oleeo Recruit can help you track pre-employment checks in our Knowledge Base.  

   NEW Improvements to stats reports 💡We’ve made a few improvements to the stats reports functionality.The first is to show details of the last time a report was edited. You can now see the date the report was last changed and who made the change.The second change is to make it so that when a report is using the short code of a lookup list, the report will now respect the ordering defined by the lookup list. This means the report will reflect the same ordering used in forms. Easier Form editingWith this update, you can now change Form details from the Form Editor screen. On this screen, there’s a new gear icon. Clicking on this opens a pop-up from which you can edit the name and other settings. Improvement to Rollup Lists creationRollup Lists are a great way to group values in a Lookup List in a useful way. To make the most of them, they need to be added to Data Dictionaries. With this update, you can now add the Rollup List to the Data Dictionary when you create, rather than after. This makes the creation process speedier and clearer. Validation for status messagesAdding a candidate-facing description to your status helps to keep them informed on what to expect while in this status. However, it can be frustrating to set these up, only to realise there’s an error which prevents the text from showing correctly. In this release, we’ve introduced a validator so that you can check the syntax of your message before saving. This prevents those annoying times where you’ve forgotten to close a tag! Clearer names for downloaded forms 💡When using the Print button on a form to download to PDF, the file name was previously in the format “app_XX”. Following customer feedback, we’ve changed this so the name now includes the form name as well i.e. “app_XX - Form Name”. This makes it easier to distinguish the forms that you’re downloading. Thousands separator option for large numbers 💡You can now use datapaths to format numeric fields with a thousands separator. This is useful for displaying large numbers in a more readable way, for example salaries in offer letters. Accessibility improvementsWe’ve made several improvements to the accessibility of our platform.We’ve tagged the headings on the interview calendar so that they can be read for all screen readers.We’ve also made a fix to how heading 3 text is displayed in some scenarios so that it better meets contrast requirements. FIXES Ability to open file items from opportunity layout 💡When a file item is added to an opportunity layout, you can now click on the item to download it. This makes it much easier to see what’s in the document without having to open up the opportunity. These changes were released on 1st May 2025 in version 3.394💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change. To have a configurable change applied to your system please speak to your Customer Success representative or email customersuccess@oleeo.com. You can also raise a Change Request case in the portal.

   NEW Improved the way search engines read inactive vacancies 💡We’ve made changes to how vacancies that aren’t active are tagged when search engines index job boards. With this update, vacancies that aren’t active (including closed or unposted) are now tagged with ‘noindex’, which means search engines are asked not to list these jobs in their search results. This provides a better brand image and less confusing candidate experience.Note that once the tag has been added, it will still take time for the search engine to remove the page from its search results. Accessibility improvementsIn the high contrast theme, we’ve make a change to the visuals when you select a row. When you select a row, there’s a high contrast border to make it clearer which rows are selected.We’ve also made changes to the focus indicators that are used when navigating through the system using a keyboard. As browser support has improved, we’ve now removed the need to configure whether a focus indicator shows when tabbing through the system. This is now enabled everywhere and the option to toggle has been removed from the accessibility options in the Preferences section of the user options.As part of this, we’ve also ensured that all browsers see the same focus indicator. This means that it’ll always be clear and contrasting, no matter which of our themes you’re using. Because of this, the focus indicator may look a little different to what you’re used to, depending on which browser you use.The focus indicator on the Last Name field FIXES Clearer feedback when you can’t be notified for saved searches 💡When you create a saved search, you have the option of being alerted when new items are added to the search results. For some search criteria, this isn’t possible. With this release, there’s now a clearer pop-up notification to let you know that you can’t get alerts on this search. Any other changes you make will be still be saved. These changes were released on 16th April 2025 in version 3.393💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

   NEW Improved user experience for creating and editing Table LayoutsTable Layouts are a flexible and configurable way to display the many types of data stored in your system. We’ve made several changes to make it easier to create and edit them.When you’re creating a new Table Layout, it now opens on the Save Options tab. This allows you to input the title and choose the type of object (e.g. applications) first. This is more useful since you need these before you can save or start adding columns.It can be easy to forget to define what happens to a layout when a user double clicks. In this release, when you create a new opportunity or application Table Layout, the double click URL will be defaulted to open the opportunity/application. This is the most common usage so will save time in having to look up the correct URL and add in.We’ve also added helptext to the Purpose field, so it’s clearer what this field represents.  Clearer buttons for viewing application import outcomeWhen importing applications, you’re presented with links to see the applications that have been imported successfully and that have failed due to errors. We’ve made these clearer so that they’re easier to spot. Accessibility improvementsWhen editing an application form, there are buttons at the bottom of the form to move back and forth through the form. We’ve changed these so that they’re tagged as buttons. This means they’ll closer match the Name, Role, Value (4.1.2) success criteria of WCAG 2.1. FIXES Consistent view when editing form itemsWhen editing a form, we support the flexibility to customise the labels and items with datapaths, expressions and placeholders. Previously, when you edited the text inline (i.e. by double-clicking on the text, rather than going through the settings menu), it wasn’t always clear that the text was generated by one of these methods.With this release, we’ve fixed this so that these methods of customising the text will display the same when editing inline and through the settings menu. These changes were released on 2nd April 2025 in version 3.392💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

We're thrilled to announce an exciting update to our candidate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) feature, making it even more accessible and flexible for your applicants! Expanding Candidate Account Security with SMS VerificationBuilding on our commitment to providing robust security and a seamless candidate experience, we've added the option for candidates to receive their 2FA verification codes via SMS. This enhancement offers greater flexibility and convenience, ensuring candidates can securely access their accounts using their preferred method.Adding this options addresses the diverse needs of your applicant pool, particularly those who may not have access to authenticator apps or prefer the familiarity and ease of SMS. How SMS 2FA WorksJust like our existing 2FA options, SMS verification adds an extra layer of protection to candidate accounts. Here's how it works:After entering their username and password, candidates will be prompted for an authentication code. Candidates receive their code via email, authenticator app or SMS, depending on their initial selection. Once the correct code is entered, they will be logged in as normal.Key Benefits of SMS 2FAIncreased Candidate Choice SMS verification broadens access to 2FA for candidates who may not use authenticator apps or want to use email 2FA. Enhanced Convenience Many candidates find SMS verification quick, easy and familiar, especially if they are already accessing from their mobile device. Continued Strong Security SMS 2FA maintains the same high level of security, protecting candidate data from unauthorized access. Flexible Implementation  More choice around which 2FA methods are available to candidates, tailoring the experience to your organization's needs.To learn more about configuring 2FA settings, including enabling SMS verification, please contact your Customer Success Manager.You can also read more about our other login security offerings in our Knowledge Base.

   NEW Including attachments in RSS feeds ⚙️Our RSS feeds provide a convenient way for third parties to retrieve data on the vacancies on a job board. With this update, the structured feed can be configured to include any attachments. For clients who attach job descriptions, competency frameworks, etc. to the job advert, this update means the RSS feed will provide a more complete view of the vacancy. Accessibility improvementsWe’ve improved the date picker widget to have better readability. We’ve added an underline for today’s date (in addition to the colour that was already there).          We’ve also made a change specifically for the high contrast version of the date picker in the interview functionality. Here, we’ve changed the colour to provide more contrast.   We’ve also made it easier for screen reader users to navigate candidate-facing job boards by tagging the job search results and filter sidebar. These changes were released on 19/03/2025 in version 3.391💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

   NEW Video item indicators on table layoutsTable layouts are a great way to see application items in one place. With this update, users can display right on the layout whether a video item (for example, those used in On Demand Video Screening) has an associated video. This means users can track at a glance whether video questions have been answered. Alongside adding to table layouts, users can also use these as search criteria to filter applications where items do or don’t contain videos. Accessibility improvementsOn dashboards, there are dropdown menus that let you edit the tabs and add widgets. Users can now interact with all menu items via keyboard only, making them more accessible. FIXES Datapaths now remain in buttons after savingDatapaths can be used in button labels to make the candidate experience more personalised. There has been an issue where the datapaths would disappear from the button when the process was edited. With this fix, the datapath will remain visible. Full summary of errors is shown when a vacancy import failsWhen importing vacancies, if there are any errors, the user is given a breakdown of what went wrong. Previously, this didn't apply when all rows in the import failed. With this release, now the user will receive a breakdown of what went wrong even if they all fail, making it much easier to understand and address the issues. Manual letters to generate in the applicant's preferred languageWhere there are multiple languages in a system, letters can be configured for all supported languages. When a user manually creates a letter, this would have been created in the user's system language. This is now fixed so that it appears in the candidate's preferred language, so recruiters can be confident they are sending in the language the candidate would like used. These changes were released on 10th March 2025 in version 3.390💡 The lightbulb icon indicates the features was based on customer feedback ⚙️The gear icon indicates a configurable change.All new features and fixes will automatically appear in your system, unless they are marked as a configurable change.

This makes setting up and ongoing maintenance of emails more efficient. FIXES Fixed display of live and close date labels for certain date formats (#41150) 💡The live and close date labels for opportunities show the required date format.

   NEW Candidate 2FA: history and datapath improvements (#41659, #41597) 💡When a candidate enables or changes their 2FA method, this will be shown in the history tab for that candidate. Also, it’s now possible to use a datapath to reference a candidate’s method of 2FA (including not enabled). With this, messaging to a candidate can be tailored based on their current 2FA setup.Candidate’s 2FA changes in the History tab Adding helptext to preferred language option to improve clarity (#41525) 💡We’ve added helptext to the candidate’s preferred language option. When a candidate changes their preferred language, this only affects future applications and communications. This helptext makes this clearer and reduces confusion that previous text remains unchanged. Multiple UI improvements (#41587, #41579, #41546, #41564, #41427)Several changes to make the user interface easier to navigate and understand when configuring:On the Status Values page, changing the name of the tab for application statuses from “Recruitment” to “Application” to better reflect its purpose. When creating a new lookup list, the list of translation options is now hidden by default. Since most lookup lists don’t require translation, this makes the page more clean and reduces confusion for newer users. When creating a new form item of the “Database Object” type, the “Object Class” field now appears underneath (rather than the bottom of the page).

We are excited to announce the launch of candidate 2FA, a more secure way for candidate users to log in.  Enhance Candidate Account Security with Two-Factor AuthenticationWe understand that security is a top priority for job seekers and our customers. That's why we've implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) for candidate logins.With 2FA, you can add an extra layer of protection to candidate accounts. This helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures that only they can view and manage their personal information.2FA provides candidates with peace of mind during their job search and enhances the overall security of the application process. How candidate 2FA worksWith candidate 2FA enabled:Candidates will be prompted for an authentication code after entering their username and password. Candidates can receive their code via email or authenticator app. Once the correct code is entered, they will be logged in as normal.Key benefits of candidate 2FAEnhanced security for candidate accountsTwo-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security on candidates’ accounts, making it more difficult for unauthorised individuals to gain access. Improved candidate experienceCandidates provide a significant amount of personal information when applying for jobs and being onboarded. By implementing 2FA, candidates have additional reassurance that their personal data is secure, which fosters trust and confidence.To learn more about candidate 2FA, contact your Customer Success Manager.
