Contracts Out – New Calendar View

Version(s): Professional/Enterprise

We’ve introduced a new Calendar View to give you a clearer, more visual way of managing Contracts Out. This sits alongside the existing List View, giving you two ways to view your placements.

While the List View shows all candidates currently contracting, along with detailed information, the Calendar View lets you step back and see the bigger picture. In the Calendar, you can select your own date range and see every placement that falls within that period.

Both views share the same filters and support the same actions, so you can work consistently no matter which layout you prefer.

In the Calendar, each placement is colour-coded to show whether it’s pending start, currently contracting, or ended, and you can switch between Day, Week, Work Week, and Month modes depending on the level of detail you need.

Contract Jobs – Hours Per Day Now Calculated Automatically

The Hours per Day field on contract jobs is now calculated automatically from the Start Time and End Time entered.

Because this value is system-calculated, the Hours per Day field is now read-only, and on both the Offer and Placement screens, the Start Time and End Time fields are now mandatory.

We’ve also moved the ‘Number of hours in a day’ setting to System Configuration > General (previously in Job Configuration > Contract Workflow). This setting is still used for:

• Job and Advert searches when calculating candidate daily rate preferences
• Job Alerts
• Converting hourly pay rates into daily rates in the Candidate profile header

Placement Reconfirmed Activity Tracking

Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise

When a placement is reconfirmed, the action and related email now appear across activity streams and reports, giving users full visibility of updates.

• A new ‘Placement Reconfirmed’ action now shows in the Recent Activity stream for the Job, Candidate, Contact, and Company records.
• Updated candidate placement emails sent during reconfirmation are also added to the activity stream.
• The ‘Placement Reconfirmed’ action can be reported on in the Reports Dashboard

Previously, reconfirmed placement emails didn’t appear in the activity stream, making it harder to track communication. This update ensures all reconfirmed placement actions and emails are fully visible and reportable.
