Enhanced Pay, Bill, and Markup Controls in BOLD - 02/21/2025

🚀 What's New

What is the improvement?

We’ve updated BOLD to improve how pay, bill, and markup fields interact, making it easier to manage these settings and control automatic updates. These changes help reduce unexpected pay and bill rate discrepancies, especially for overtime (OT) and double-time (DT) calculations. Some existing jobs, templates, or placements may require adjustments to align with the new configuration.

Why?

• Customer feedback highlighted confusion around override controls for markups and OT/DT bill rates, leading to incorrect pay and bill calculations. Users expected automatic updates when placing or adjusting talent, but these weren’t always applied as intended.

How does this impact you?

• Existing templates, jobs, and placements will not change automatically but will update when edited.
• New Active Consultants Report fields allow users to track OT/DT pay, bill, and markup settings.
• The changes cannot be reversed, so customers should review their templates, jobs, and placements to ensure the correct settings are applied.

What You Need to Do

1️⃣ Review existing templates, jobs, and placements, especially those with overtime configurations.
2️⃣ Ensure override checkboxes are set correctly—only check the box if you do not want the field to update automatically.
3️⃣ Test new job and placement entries to confirm rates are being calculated as expected.

These updates enhance accuracy, flexibility, and control in BOLD, making it easier to manage pay, bill, and markup settings while reducing errors in Classic Back Office.

'Your Posted Jobs' Widget Enhancement - 02/14/2025

🚀 What's New

What is the improvement?

Updated the description for the widget at myDashboard > Add Widget > Jobs > Your Posted Jobs to "A list for job posters to view their currently posted jobs."

Why?

• The description has been updated to better reflect the widget's functionality. The widget is designed to help job posters quickly access and manage their job postings, allowing them to make edits or remove posts as needed.

How does this impact you?

• This update provides job posters with clearer information about the widget's purpose and functionality:

  • The 'Yours' toggle displays jobs posted by the HCM User, filtered by their current Office Access list
  • The 'All' toggle shows all posted jobs, also filtered by the user's Office Access list

  The improved description helps users understand that this widget serves as a management tool, giving them convenient access to monitor and maintain their job postings from their dashboard.

AI-Powered Job Description Generation in BOLD - 02/14/2025

🚀 What's New

What is the improvement?

Users can now click the "Generate GenAI Description" button in the Job Descriptions & Notes section when creating a new job in BOLD. AI will generate a job description based on the entered Position Title and other relevant details.

Why?

• This functionality aims to streamline the job creation process by using AI to draft job descriptions based on user input.

How does this impact you?

• Faster Job Posting – With AI-generated descriptions, you can create job postings more efficiently, allowing you to focus on finding the right candidates rather than writing job descriptions from scratch.
• Improved Description Quality – The AI tailors job descriptions based on the details you enter, ensuring consistency and completeness. The more information you provide, the better the description.
• Customization & Control – After generating a description, you can easily review and edit it to match your specific needs before finalizing the job post.
• Seamless Integration – The AI-generated description appears directly in the "Job Descriptions & Notes" section, keeping it accessible and editable within BOLD.

Enhanced Control Over Talent Pay Data Access- 02/05/2025

🚀 What's New

What is the improvement?

We've added an additional layer of security around the Paychecks tab on a BOLD Talent profile. Users will now see a user permission called "Paycheck View" in the Back Office category that will allow them to view Talent pay data.

Previously, the ability for a user to view the Talent > Paychecks tab was included with the Tax Admin permission, however there were reports that additional security measures around the Paychecks tab were important and may not overlap with the users who need Tax Admin access.

New Behavior

• HCM Users with 'Paycheck View' enabled:
  • Can view and interact with the Paychecks tab on the Talent record

• HCM User with 'Paycheck View' disabled
  • Cannot view the Paychecks tab on the Talent record
    
    

How does this impact you?

• Existing users: If existing user prior to feature enablement had Tax Admin enabled, then automatically have Paycheck View enabled for that user
• New users: After feature is enabled and new user created, give it same behavior as existing parent/child user claims for Tax Admin
• Enhanced security for sensitive pay data.
• Granular control for administrators to manage recruiter access to specific Talent profile information.

Talent Restriction Auditing - 02/03/2025

🚀 What's New

What is the improvement?

We've improved the recruiter experience by adding an audit log entry when a restriction is placed (or removed) on a talent to prevent them from working for a given company or specific company office.

Why?

• This makes it easier to review and report on additions and removal of restrictions.

How does this impact you?

• These enhancements are designed to streamline restriction management and improve transparency in talent and company interactions within Bold.
