February Product Release

Here's what we released in February 2025

CRM 

Credit Details Properties 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise

We’ve simplified how Properties control the visibility of Credit Details fields on job and company records. 

Previously, users had to enable these fields in Properties and have the Credit Details setting switched on in the Contract Workflow tab. Now, we’ve removed the Credit Details setting - so enabling or disabling these fields in Properties is all you need to do. 

The Authorisation on Credit Details setting is still in the same place: Company Configuration > Terms > Contract.

Update Company Select Component Limit 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

We’re increasing the result limit in the Company Select Component to make it easier to find the right company when creating a job. 

Previously, results were capped at 20, which caused issues for clients using Associated Companies, especially when multiple companies had the same name. Now, we’re increasing the limit to 50. 

• Users will see up to 50 parent companies in the dropdown. 

• If the Include Associated Companies setting is enabled, they’ll also see all related child companies under those parents. 

This change ensures clients can always find and select the right company.

Candidate ID Placement CSV Export 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

We have added a column to the end of the placement CSV exports which shows a Candidate’s ID number.  

The placement CSV exports are the files attached to the HR and Accounts email when the Attach CSV setting is checked within Job Configuration > Placement.

Show Export CSV Option for Basic 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

Clients on the Basic package can now export Candidate, Contact, and Company Saved Searches to CSV - bringing this functionality in line with Enterprise and Professional. 

• The CSV export buttons follow the existing CSV/Word Exports setting in User Management > User Permissions. 

• If this permission is disabled for a user type, the button will be greyed out and unavailable for them. 

This update ensures a more consistent experience across packages while keeping permissions in place.

Integrations 

Comms API New Endpoints and Improvements 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

Posting a comms note to Firefish will now allow our users to be able to select ‘Sysadmin’ in the ‘UserEmail’ field. All successful post responses will now return the unique ID linked to their comms note. 

Using the unique ID for the comms note, our users can now retrieve the comms note and be able to update the comms note using the API.

Editable Pay Names UI Update 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

The names we give our Pay Type values (Self Employed and PAYE) don’t always match how our clients refer to these. The Pay Type labels can now be edited in Job Configuration > Contract Workflow > Sales Settings. 

  The edits made to the Pay Type names only change the way they appear on the Contract job workflow. This won’t change anything in Reports, Emails, Exports or in the API.

Search and Sort on the Properties page  

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

We have made a couple of changes to make it easier to navigate System Configuration > Properties. 

• Search bar: Users can now quickly find a property by typing its name 

• Column sorting: Users can sort the columns to locate the property they need more efficiently 

These updates are designed to save time and make managing properties simpler. These improvements will be going into General Release for everyone.

New Salary Range Setting for Permanent Workflow (Closed Beta) 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise  

When creating a job, clients will often only fill out one of the Salary From and Salary To fields, which means they aren’t getting the full benefit of their Potential Matches. To help with this, we are introducing the Salary Range feature. 

This feature is entering Closed Beta this week, and if the feature flag is enabled, the new setting is found in Job Configuration > Permanent Workflow > Potential Matches. 

Here’s how it works: 

• Users can select a percentage range from the dropdown (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or 50%) - the default is 20%. 

• When creating a job and entering a salary, the salary value will serve as the mid-point. The selected percentage will then auto-populate the Salary From and Salary To fields when the job is created 

• Once the job is created, Users will be able to edit the Salary From and Salary To fields 

Example: 

If the job salary is £10,000 and the range is set to 20%, the system will automatically set: 

• Salary From: £8,000 

• Salary To: £12,000

Change the Pay Type Names on the Contract Workflow (Closed Beta) 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

The names we give our Pay Type values (Self Employed and PAYE) don’t always match how our clients refer to these. To help with that, we are introducing the Change Pay Type Names feature. 

This feature is entering Closed Beta this week, and if the feature flag is enabled, it makes some changes to the Pay Type section in Job Configuration > Contract Workflow > Sales Settings. 

The edits made to the Pay Type names only change the way they appear on the Contract job workflow. This won’t change anything in Reports, Emails, Exports or in the API.

Considering List UI Updates 

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

We have made some UI improvements to the Considering List for both Permanent and Contract workflows, together with enabling the ChannelSourceTracking feature flag for all clients: 

• Channel and Source will appear as columns on the Considering Lists for all clients. 

• When the Recent Activity side panel is expanded, the Source column is hidden to maintain spacing. 

• The Ellipses have been removed to increase space, the Withdraw option has been removed (from the Considering stage only) and has been replaced by the Remove option in the list header actions. 
• Existing Candidates that have been withdrawn can still be reinstated, with the Reinstate option appearing in place of the Checkbox to the right of the Candidate Name column. 
• Finally, the Availability column has been removed from the Permanent Workflow as it has less relevance for Permanent Jobs.

New ‘In Contract’ tab in the Contract Workflow Job Configuration  

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise 

To make Job Configuration > Contract Workflow easier to navigate, we’ve reorganised the Placements tab and introduced a new In Contract tab. 

• The Placements tab now contains settings related to making a placement. 

• The new In Contract tab holds settings relevant once a candidate is in contract. 

Moved to In Contract: 

• AWR Review 

• Time Capture 

• Timesheets 

• Timesheet Approver 

• Accounts Email 

• Extensions Authorisation 

• Terminations Authorisation 

This change keeps things more intuitive and easier to manage.
