Introducing Sean Osborne

Acendre is building out a rejuvenated, stronger Product Management team as part of our increased focus to ensure we build the best possible products and solutions for our customers.
We'd like to introduce Sean Osborne, our Vice President of Product Management, based in our US office.
Sean has over 10 years of experience working in senior product management positions in the computer software sector. Most recently, Sean managed the leading global student recruitment product for higher education and has experience delivering many complex projects and engaging with multi-discipline high-performance teams across the globe.
Early in his career, Sean managed a real-time mobile collaboration product for law enforcement and the military. He remembers a senior state police official holding a smartphone running his software and telling him "Sean, you've got to think of the cop using this. If it isn't easy and doesn't help 'em do their job, he's just going to throw this thing to the side and ignore it." Sean takes this to heart and believes that products should be easy to use and add real value to those who pay for them above all else.
Sean is in Melbourne frequently, and when in town, is looking forward to meeting Acendre customers.

Navigating to Standard Reports
We're making it easier to find and navigate to the standard report suite.
Until now, standard reports for your recruitment processes were found under the Talent Analytics folder. For those using our Perform module, standard perform reports were found under Standard Reports – Perform.
The time, however, has come to rename these folders so that they're easier to find and remember. How, you ask?

...

  • Active Views column to see the active views for that field whether it is used from that view.

  • Reports column to see the reports using that field, if any


Use these reports to ensure that all questions enabled for reporting are required, in the right views and in the right context. If some contexts, views or questions/fields are no longer required, speak to your Client Success Manager.

bugs


  1. NT-15509: We have proactively updated text on global questions information icons to improve the user experience.
  2. NT-15083: We had received feedback that when a candidate moves back within a browser session in the candidate portal after submitting the application, the candidate status moves to In-progress in th backend. This issue had been rectified in the release.
  3. NT-15211: We had received feedback on a performance issue encountered while packaging PDF. We identified the root cause of the issue and have fixed the issue.
  4. NT-15273: We had received feedback from a customer regarding the email subject heading not displaying properly when a merge field for surname is included with an apostrophe in it. We have resolved the issue.
  5. NT-15305: We had received feedback from a customer that when a candidate is applied from one job to another, the dynamic parent- child relationships within the target job (application form) is not taken into consideration. This had a direct impact on reporting. We have identified and fixed the issue.
  6. NT-15307: We had received feedback from a customer that while importing a candidate file from the backend, the process was failing without any error message. The root cause of the issue was that the candidate's answer to a question had exceeded maximum word limit. We have fixed the issue and included proper validation for a better user experience.
  7. NT-15355: As per the new SEEK API, the minimum and maximum salary ranges cannot be the same. This feature has been updated and takes salary selection from the current band and the next band.
  8. NT-15406: We had received feedback from a customer that backend log history had few entries performed by 'Guest Account.' We have identified the root cause of the issue and have fixed it.
  9. NT-15319: We had received feedback from a customer that a certain Yellowfin report was picking up manager details associated with position, rather than the manager details appearing in the attached review. We have fixed this issue.
