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.
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.

Candidate & Contact Name Search Improvements
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
We have simplified searching for candidates and contacts with hyphenated names.

This functionality is available in both the Candidate and Contact searches, and is included in the Universal Search.
Candidate Portal – Reference Tab
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
On the Reference Tab in the Candidate Portal, we have added an Open in new tab icon to the Email and Phone fields for each of the references. We have also added a ‘Copy’ icon to the reference email field which will copy any text to the clipboard.

Stepstone Integration Improvements
Version(s): all
2 improvements made to the Stepstone family of job boards
General Release: Stepstone job boards will now retrieve and provide candidates any pre-screen questions linked to the advert in Firefish when they apply. As this process is triggered at the point of the candidate applying, users will not have to repost any adverts - any adverts that are currently live on sites such as Totaljobs will automatically benefit from this improvement.
Any answers that the candidates provide will be packaged and sent along with their CV as part of Direct Apply.

API Pagination – Contacts API
Versions: all (Firefish API)
General Release: We have added the Pagination feature to the contacts search API Endpoint on the Firefish Public API.
This is a developer feature for integration partners who can use it to retrieve more than 1000 results at a time from the API. As per the other endpoints, Pagination has been added as an optional parameter, meaning that any existing users of this endpoint will not be impacted and Third Parties can update their integrations at their convenience.
Stepstone Feature Flag Enabled for All Clients

The stepstone feature flag is now enabled for all clients. This means any stepstone job board that has Direct Apply enabled will now have the ‘Share Application Status’ toggle displayed and enabled.
