Wisdom is the modern data & advanced analytics platform from BrightMove. We introduced Wisdom in November 2022, and with this release, it becomes generally available to all of our customers. Wisdom is scalable, cloud-based data platform that can process billions of records in less than a second.

In this release, we have migrated core ad hoc reporting services to the Wisdom Platform. The key benefit of this migration reduces ad hoc reporting latency from approximately 1 day down to approximately 1 hour. Additionally, this migration provides a foundation for more advanced reporting and analytics services in the future to benefit our customers. Ad hoc reporting on Wisdom is available to customers in all subscription levels of BrightMove.

In this release, we are delivering new capabilities to enable the Wisdom Recruiting Data Platform as a Service directly within your ATS instance. These new capabilities allow our subscribers to deploy custom data warehouse, dashboards and business intelligence solutions and make them available to your employees & customers.

Note: To use the Wisdom Recruiting Data Platform as a Service, it must be licensed and enabled for your company. If you would like to learn more about Wisdom, please contact Customer Success. Wisdom is available to our Advanced and Enterprise Edition subscribers. You can initiate a request by emailing [email protected].

In this release, we are making a new user type available to customers with a valid subscription. The Executive User Type is a new class of user which has read-only access and provides the ability to view reports and dashboards. This user type can be used to conduct business reviews and share cross-instance insights with the leadership teams of your company and your customers' companies. For more information on this new user type, please contact Customer Success by emailing [email protected]

In this release, we added the ability for company administrators to manage company-wide integrations with preferred partners. This includes the ability to manage credentials, API keys and shared secrets, unlocking connectivity to other key systems within the customer's environment.

To access the BrightMove Marketplace, you must have the permission to manage company settings. Simply select your avatar in the top right of the screen, select Settings, and then select BrightMove Marketplace.

The initial release of the BrightMove Marketplace allows for self-service of the following partners. We anticipate other partners being added to the marketplace in the future.

In this release, we included the ability to sync and load Chart of Accounts, Items and Terms from QuickBooks Online. Previously, all reference data sync was limited to QuickBooks Desktop Edition. This enhancement paves the way for full QBO integration later this year.

In this release, we corrected a sorting issue for opportunities recorded within the opportunities module. Previously, opportunities were sorted based on system generated dates. This enhancement sorts opportunities based on past, present and future activity dates, which are customer-assigned.

In this release, we included the ability to change the display order of basic qualifications within the Answer Lists. This improves the way in which applicants experience basic qualifications and knock out questions during the application process.

BrightMove has established a new partnership with CareerJet. Because of this, BrightMove has implemented a feed of our customers' jobs to CareerJet and has integrated the Apply Now feature within that feed, so that candidate applications are directly ingested into BrightMove. CareerJet is a job search engine designed to make the process of finding a job on the internet easier for the user. It maps the huge selection of job offerings available on the internet in one extensive database by referencing job listings originating from job boards, recruitment agency websites and large specialist recruitment sites. Using a fast and straightforward interface, users can query this database and save themselves the trouble of visiting each site individually. CareerJet currently has over 18 million visits per month globally, covering 150 countries and 30 languages.
​

In this release, we have deployed a major enhancement to our BrightMatch feature. It allows you to search the web for publicly listed jobs that match your candidates skills without leaving BrightMove, enabling you to find potential prospective customers for your top candidates who are coming off assignment. BrightMatch is only available to customers who use the BrightMove for Staffing and BrightMove for RPO products.

In this release, we have deployed a minor fix to decorate required UDF fields with the standard UI treatment of a green outline. This pre-flight check informs users which UDF fields are required for the user to successfully submit the form.

In this release, we have deployed a bug fix to our BrightSync message parsing service. This fix is to correct the improper association of the user to be the Sender of email messages instead of the Recipient.

BrightMove has deployed a new status monitoring service (Instatus) which will be rolled out fully in an upcoming release. We have integrated our user data service synchronization to keep this monitoring system up to date with our customers' contact info. This service will enable BrightMove to offer best overall uptime & performance to our customers in the years to come.

Happy New Year from BrightMove! We are excited to kick off the new year with some feature improvements and enhancements.

Release 2023.1.0 on Saturday, January 7, 2023 represents the first production release of 2023. This release contains a customer-requested enhancement to the BrightMove ad hoc reporting service, several user experience improvements, a security upgrade, and a few bug fixes. As we gear up for major upgrades later in Q1, there are also several behind-the-scenes changes related to our candidate experience portal platform & our new Wisdom data analytics platform, that are being deployed with feature flags in place (to disable the new capabilities). Be sure to watch your inbox for information on these exciting new capabilities in the coming months.

In this release, we made a core user experience improvement related to the ad hoc reporting module by enabling some new data types. Coming directly from a customer request, we added support for a currency data type and new date field formatting. These formatting styles are applied based on a combination of the format the user selects as well as their locale settings within the profile. The primary use case this enables gives the ability to apply formatting to the fields of exported reports.

We implemented this new feature with a Do No Harm approach. In other words, current ad hoc reports will not change based on this new feature. In order to apply currency & date formatting, the report author or an administrator will need to select a control on the dynamic report to apply formatting OR apply the formatting control against the saved report.

This fix corrects a bug in the duplicate candidate manager module that was observed then the merged candidates had overlapping time cards. Previously, an error would occur when trying to merge candidates. Now, the merge completes and the time cards survive under the merged candidate.

This fix corrects a bug in the sendout of submittals to hiring managers. Previously, the sendout message would contain the first submittal status in the candidate submittal history. With this fix, BrightMove now sets the current submittal status into the sendout message.

This fix corrects a bug in the UI control of UDF drop downs on the Candidate screens. When editing a candidate from the candidate screen, the UDF drop down form elements now do not reset to None.

A minor UI fix - we added the missing pencil icon next to the Sales Person edit link on the Client Contact screen.

This fix corrects a logic error when scrolling through a result set delivered from a Power Search using the carousel control. When the Power Search result is filtered by a field AND subsequently that field is updated by the user on the current result set record, the index control would break and an error would occur. This fix corrects the carousel control.

This is a control fix - we created a preventative measure to avoid sending duplicate SMS messages from the platform when clicking the back button on the browser.

The BrightMove security & engineering team is always monitoring the platform for stability & security. In February 2022, BrightMove rapidly deployed a security patch to protect against a zero-day vulnerability that our team became aware of through the security channels we monitor. This vulnerability was in 3rd party code BrightMove leverages, not code authored by BrightMove directly. A patch deployment was done to protect our clients & infrastructure against this published exploit. During this patch, there was some technical debt that we accumulated, in the form of redundant files and manual processes. Our engineering team worked with the author of the 3rd party code to reintegrate the secured code into our automated development pipeline.

While this is all behind the scenes to our customers and perhaps seems like "sausage making", the key point to share is we are constantly looking for opportunities to increase the reliability, security and performance of our platform.
