Workflow Tools Enhancements

This month, we introduced enhancements focused on improved notification control, candidate assessment history, expanded workflow fields, and global candidate visibility.

🆕 Features

1️⃣ Notification Preferences Description: Users can now control which notifications they receive and on which channel from a dedicated Notifications Preferences page under Settings. What’s New

  • Per-category channel selection, check or uncheck each channel individually.
  • Email and In-App available for all users; SMS available to users with a phone number on their profile.

  • Column picker on the candidate list, with selections saved per user and applied across workflows. Search extended to cover the additional candidate fields.
