New and Enhanced Features

Email Opt-Out

The 2020 Email Editor Email Opt-Out allows ContactsClosed A contact (or client contact) is the person who the recruiter is working with at a Company. In Talent Rover a Contact can be either a Client Contact or a Candidate Contact. Both types of Contacts are stored in the same object (Contact). to express their preferences for the type of emails they wish to receive. System Administrators are able to define Email Types which are then listed in outgoing emails so recipients can decide if they want to unsubscribe (opt-out) from any of them. Contacts that have opted out of a particular email type will be excluded from receiving all future emails of that type.

Prerequisites

  • Bullhorn for Salesforce 2020.08 Release or newer.
  • The 2020 Email Editor is enabled.
  • Salesforce Lightning is enabled.
  • The Org uses the ATS v2 data model.

Minimal configuration required.

Account Pool v2

Account PoolClosed A Set/Pool of automatically created Accounts that Candidates can be assigned to through an automated process v2 is a new version of the existing Account Pool feature designed especially for Orgs with a high volume of data and transactions. In Salesforce, Contacts created without an Account are private contacts and have limited visibility. The Account Pool functionality resolves this issue by automatically assigning newly created Contacts to a default CandidatesClosed A person looking for a job.

  • Account Pool v2 automatically assigns any newly created Contact to a chosen default Account.
  • A round-robin strategy can be used for assignment and Contacts are re-balanced across accounts when needed.
  • Designed to overcome limitations and issues that arise in Orgs with a high volume of data and transactions.

Some configuration required.

Infrastructure Work: BHTK Module Enhancements

The BHTK Module enables the Bullhorn for Salesforce core package to integrate with the search provider, Textkernel. The following functionalities are supported:

  • Textkernel Search + Match.
  • Syncing / Indexing data from Salesforce into Textkernel.

This module has been enhanced to make it more robust and had settings added that make it more flexible and scalable. Improvements to the indexing process will continue with the goal of ultimately moving BHTK indexing jobs off the Salesforce Platform to ensure optimized performance regardless of the volume of records involved.

See BHTK Module for more information.
