UKG Pro Recruiting January Updates

UKG Pro Recruiting January Updates

The UKG Pro® Recruiting solution has been updated with new enhancements that will keep you compliant and help provide the best possible experience for your employees. Highlighted below are the updates applied to UKG Pro® Recruiting in the January 2024 release.

Edit Candidate Email Address

Recruiters and Recruiting Administrators can edit the email address for some candidates from within the Recruiting solution. To be eligible, the candidate:

  • Must be an external candidate who is not in Hired status
  • Cannot already exist in the Onboarding solution or any other UKG Pro solution

First, a Recruiting Administrator must turn On the feature in UKG Pro Recruiting > Settings > Candidate > Edit Candidate Email Address. Once the feature is active, Recruiters and Recruiting Administrators can navigate to a candidate (UKG Pro Recruiting > People > select candidate name), select the  (Actions) button next to the candidate’s name, and the Change Email Address option. In the pop-up window, enter a new email address and a note for the Candidate Notes explaining why the change is being made. When you select the Change Email Address button, the Recruiting solution sends an email to the candidate at the old email address stating that the address has been deactivated in the Recruiting solution, and an email to the new address with a link to reset their password.

The Edit Candidate Email pop up window. The candidate's current email on file is displayed. There is a field to enter a new email address and a note field to enter the reason for the change. A reminder at the bottom tells you that the candidate must use the new email address to log in. At the end of the text are Cancel and Change email address buttons.

Applicant Rank Field on the Candidate Details Page

A Rank field is now available to view and edit on the Candidate Details page (UKG Pro Recruiting > Opportunities > locate Opportunity > number of applicants > select applicant name) in the first section of the page. This number can be edited or deleted, as desired.
