Enhanced Candidate Portal Registration and Login Experience

Several enhancements have been implemented to ensure the ongoing security of candidate personal identifiable information. This includes a new registration path and additional security measures around resetting passwords and entering incorrect credentials.

 

Introduction of Requisition/Job Notes

Users will now have the ability to add notes against a Requisition or a Job.

 

Bulk Global Question Deletion Functionality

A configuration tool has been introduced to enable bulk deletion of questions from forms.

 

Candidate Portal Profile

The existing candidate portal profile has been enhanced to allow customisation of forms that can be included in the registration process allowing for the capture of candidate personal information. Candidates can now manage their own personal information within the candidate portal and have this information pre-fill future applications.


Recruitment Enhancements

Feature 1: Candidate Registration and Login Experience


Description: To ensure that we continue to provide our clients with secure features protecting personal identifiable information the candidate registration and login experience has been enhanced. The enhancement prevents any information from displaying in the candidate portal that would identify the candidate, based on their email address, as a registered user.
Specific changes have been detailed below.
Candidate Portal Changes

Change

Description

New link to register on the login page

A new option to register as a new user will be introduced on the login page.
The email address validation advising if the user is registered or not has been removed.

Updated message when incorrect login details are provided

When a candidate attempts to login with the incorrect username and/or password, they will be presented with the below message:
"Please check your username and password. If you are still unable to log in, use the reset password option or contact your recruitment advisor."
We will no longer be identifying if the user has an existing account or not.

Advice on the number of unsuccessful login attempts remaining

When attempting to login to the candidate portal with incorrect credentials, the candidate will no longer be presented with information advising how many attempts they have remaining before their account will be locked.
They will also no longer be presented with a pop-up message advising them that their account has been locked.

Removal of identification that the user does not have a valid account when attempting to reset their password

If the candidate has not previously registered but attempts to use the reset password option, they will no longer receive notification that their email address is not registered to a user account. They will be presented with the same message that a valid candidate would receive.

Confirmation screen message when using the forgotten password functionality

When the candidate enters their email address to reset their password in the forgotten password screen, they will be presented with a confirmation message advising them to check their email inbox for next steps.

Notification received by locked candidate users when attempting to reset their password

If the candidate attempts to reset their password while their account is locked, they will receive an email containing the below information:
"You have attempted to reset your password while your account is locked. You will receive an email when your account is unlocked and you will then be able to reset your password."

Notification received by non-registered users when attempting to reset their password

If the candidate has not registered but attempts to reset their password, they will receive an email containing the below information:
"You have attempted to reset your password, but we don't have an account linked to this email address. If you'd like to set up a new account please click the below link to register."
The link will direct the candidate to the registration page.

Confirmation message when registration screen has been completed

When the candidate completes the registration screen, they will be presented with the below message:
"Registration completed.
Please check your inbox for next steps."
This same screen will be presented to new users registering for the first time or existing users incorrectly attempting to register again.

Notification received by new candidates registering for the first time

When a new candidate completes the registration process, they will receive an email to confirm next steps containing the below information:
"Your registration is now complete. Please login with your username and password to access your account and manage your applications."
The login link will direct the candidate to the login page on the candidate portal.

Notification received by existing candidates incorrectly attempting to register

If a candidate with an existing account attempts to re-register with the same email address, they will receive an email containing the below information:
"A registration attempt has been made using this email address. This email address is already registered to a valid account, click here to login.
If this wasn't completed by you, we recommend that you change your password immediately to secure your account.
Alternatively, if you did attempt to register and you have forgotten your password, please use our reset password option."
Candidates will be able to use the links in this notification to either attempt to login or reset their password.

Pre-Application forms

If the candidate is submitting an application to a job that has a pre-application form, the pre-application form will now be presented to the candidate after they have logged into the portal.



Candidate Portal Configuration Changes

Change

Description

Removal of the ability to configure multiple custom candidate registration emails

To ensure that candidates are consistently provided with the correct information when registering, we have removed the ability to create multiple unique registration emails per candidate portal audience.
All candidates will be presented with the emails outlined in the above table.

Ensure correct branding is applied to candidate portal emails

To support the need to ensure candidates are presented with correct email branding when registering and interacting with the candidate portal, we have introduced the ability to link a configured email display brand to an audience. This will ensure that the candidate is consistently presented with the correct branding associated to the audience they are registering against within the candidate portal.
There is now a new field available within the Branding screen entitled "Email Display Template".
The field will display all configured email display templates available in the system and allow for a template to be linked to the brand and therefore the audience.


If there is no email display template configured against the brand, then the system will look to see if there is an email display template selected against the email in the email template list. If there is an email display template configured against the email template, this will dictate the branding on the email.
If there is no email display template configured against the brand or against the email template, the email will be sent without any email display template associated.
This process is applicable for:

  • All emails associated with the registration stream
  • All emails associated with the candidate portal locked/unlocked stream
  • All emails associated with the forgotten password stream
  • All emails associated with job alerts
  • All Email a Friend emails

Candidate Portal Lockout communication

Candidates will no longer be presented with a message on the candidate portal when they have locked their candidate portal account. An email will be automatically triggered to the candidate to advise them that their account is currently locked, and they will be advised when it has been unlocked with a further email communication.

Candidate Portal Locked/Unlocked Emails

Emails that trigger to a candidate when they lock their account and when their account is unlocked will no longer be configurable. These emails will contain standard content to ensure the candidate receives the appropriate information to continue their candidate portal exchanges.



Feature 2: Introduction of Requisition and Job Notes


Description: The introduction of requisition and job notes provides users the ability to add notes on requisition records or on job records to capture relevant information. Note functionality has previously been limited to candidate records and there was no ability to add comments at a requisition or job level.
The ability to create notes is not permission dependent, so any user with the ability to view the requisition or job record will have the ability to create notes. The ability to edit or delete notes is permission dependent and two new function permissions have been introduced to the module permission of Job Manager to control which user groups/users can edit/delete notes.

Feature 4: Candidate Portal Profile


Description: Additional functionality has been introduced to enhance the candidate registration process. The enhancement centres around the introduction of a candidate portal profile that sits independently to candidate applications. Users can now configure the registration form to allow for additional form steps and collection of additional candidate information. Information collected during this process can be used to pre-fill future candidate applications

This allows the user to determine if information needs to be captured when the candidate first registers or if they would like to allow the candidate the ability to manage the information within the candidate portal, but not collect it at this point in time.
