Overview

Social Security Numbers (SSN) and Social Insurance Numbers (SIN) are now automatically masked when recruiters view or download tax statements from the Talent profile. Masking applies to both the inline document viewer and downloaded PDF files.

Why We Built It

Tax documents are frequently saved, printed, or shared outside secure systems. Full SSN and SIN values on those files create unnecessary exposure of sensitive personal information. Masking limits that risk while still letting recruiters confirm document accuracy using the last few visible digits.

What to Expect

No action is required to enable this change. When you view tax statements in the inline viewer or download them as PDFs, SSN and SIN values will appear masked. Masking is universal and applies to all user roles without exception.

Overview

AviontéBOLD now supports parent company relationships, allowing you to designate companies as parent companies and associate other companies with them. This creates a clear organizational hierarchy for national accounts, franchises, property management groups, and other multi-location clients, with automatic sync to Classic Back Office and parent company data included in transaction records.

Why We Built It

Many staffing agencies work with national accounts and franchises where multiple locations operate under a single parent organization. Without a way to capture these relationships in BOLD, agencies couldn't track data across related locations, manage permissions based on organizational structure, or aggregate data at the parent company level, making national account workflows difficult to manage effectively.

What to Expect

Designate a company as a parent company at the time of company creation. Associate individual locations or subsidiaries with their parent using the Parent Company association field on the company profile. Use enhanced company search filters to find all companies under a specific parent organization.

For Back Office-integrated clients, parent company associations set in BOLD automatically sync to Classic Back Office customer records. Transactions will additionally track any associated parent company for historical reporting across both systems.

Overview

Recruiters can now reply to a talent's chat message directly from the talent profile without opening the full Chat UI. When the Chat button is clicked in the Quick Actions panel on a talent profile, a Quick Chat panel opens anchored to the bottom-right of the screen. Recruiters can read the conversation, send a reply, review all previous messages, switch which identity they're sending as, and expand into the full Chat UI when the conversation warrants it.

Why We Built It

Opening the full Chat UI in a new tab for every quick exchange interrupts the recruiter's workflow and requires unnecessary context-switching. Quick Chat lets recruiters resolve brief conversations without leaving the talent profile, keeping focus on the task at hand and reducing the overhead of routine check-ins.

What to Expect

Clicking the Chat button in the Quick Actions panel on a talent profile opens the Quick Chat panel instead of navigating to a new tab. The panel displays your conversation with that talent, shows which identity you're sending as, and includes a button to expand into the full Chat UI at any time. If you have more than one identity available, a Change link lets you switch before replying.

The chat icon in the top navigation bar is not affected — it continues to open the full Chat UI in a new tab. For details on using Avionté Chat, see Avionté Chat.

Overview

The Placements sub-tab on the Talent Profile now displays two distinct date columns: Original Start and Extension Start. Original Start shows the earliest start date across all placement extensions, while Extension Start shows the most recent. The same update applies to the Placements section in the talent preview aside. Previously, a single "Start" column displayed only the extension start date, making it difficult to determine when a talent's placement originally began.

Why We Built It

When a placement has been extended, the original start date and the extension start date tell different parts of the story. Without both visible at a glance, coordinators had to dig into placement details to piece together a talent's full tenure on a job. Both dates are now in context, side by side, so placement history is clear without extra clicks.

What to Expect

No action is required. The updated columns appear automatically on the Talent Profile Placements sub-tab and in the talent preview aside for any placement with at least one extension. The column order is now: Job ID, Job, Company, Company Office, Manager, Type, Original Start, Extension Start, End, Pay/Salary, Bill, End Reason.

Overview

A new Sales Tax multiselect dropdown is now available directly within AviontéBOLD when creating or editing a worksite address. Users can view, select, and update the applicable sales tax for a worksite without leaving BOLD, keeping address data and sales tax settings in sync across both BOLD and Back Office automatically. The Sales Tax field appears in three locations:

Sales tax options in the dropdown are pulled directly from your Back Office configuration, so only the rates your administrator has set up will appear.

Why We Built It

Managing sales tax for worksite addresses previously required navigating between BOLD and Back Office, even for users who complete most of their work in BOLD. When creating or updating a worksite, users had to switch to Classic Back Office to select or modify the sales tax, adding friction to a straightforward task and increasing the risk of addresses being saved without the correct tax applied. This update brings sales tax management into the same workflow where worksites are created and maintained, reducing system-switching and giving BOLD users full visibility into tax settings without relying on Back Office access.

What to Expect

When creating or editing a worksite address in BOLD, a Sales Tax field will appear in the address aside panel. Select the applicable sales tax from the dropdown — options reflect what your administrator has configured in Back Office for each state. When you save the address, BOLD automatically syncs the selected sales tax value back to Back Office, so both systems stay aligned without any additional steps.

Any changes to the Sales Tax field are recorded in the BOLD Company Audit, giving administrators a complete record of updates.

Overview

The California Pay Data Reporting AQ templates for both the Employee Pay Report and the Labor Contractor Report have been updated for the 2025 reporting cycle. Three new required fields are now captured: Exemption Status (Exempt or Non-Exempt), Work Schedule Type (Full-Time, Part-Time, or Intermittent), and Weeks Worked, along with remote employee data including total remote CA employees and their locations. Both AQs are due to the California Civil Rights Department on May 13, 2026.

Why We Built It

California's Civil Rights Department expanded its pay data reporting requirements for 2025, adding mandatory fields to both report templates. Submitting incomplete data can result in penalties. These AQ updates ensure your submissions include all required fields ahead of the deadline.

What to Expect

Use the updated AQ templates when generating your 2025 California Pay Data reports. The new fields will populate based on data already in your system, but verify that Exemption Status, Work Schedule Type, and Weeks Worked are accurately recorded for all California employees before running your reports. Remote employee counts are captured automatically based on work location data.

Overview

Mass onboarding tasks will process in the background so you can continue working immediately after sending, with no waiting for tasks to complete. A confirmation message will appear at the bottom of the Onboarding panel confirming tasks are queued. This improvement applies to mass onboarding only; single onboarding task behavior is unchanged.

Why We Built It

Mass onboarding previously sent task requests rapidly to the database without throttling, locking up the interface and degrading performance for other BOLD users during processing. Background processing eliminates the wait and keeps system performance stable regardless of task volume.

What to Expect

Configure and send your onboarding tasks as usual. When you click Send, a message will appear at the bottom of the Onboarding panel: "Onboarding tasks will be sent in the background, and may not appear immediately on the profile." The panel closes immediately. Onboarding tasks will appear on talent profiles within a few minutes as the system processes them in the queue.

Overview

Recruiters will be able to filter talent by BOLD custom fields and Back Office Extra fields directly in BOLD Talent Search, without switching systems or running a Back Office report. A two-step selector lets you choose a custom field and enter or select the matching value, with the input type adapting automatically to how the field was configured.

Why We Built It

Custom data in Back Office Extras — certifications, equipment qualifications, compliance flags, worker classifications — was invisible during candidate sourcing in BOLD. Recruiters had to switch between systems just to verify whether a candidate met specific custom criteria, slowing placement during high-volume hiring and forcing disconnected workflows for integrated clients.

What to Expect

Add the Custom Fields search term to Talent Search. A two-step selector appears: first choose a field from the dropdown (includes both BOLD custom fields and configured Back Office Extras), then enter or select the value. The input adapts to the field type: date picker, checkbox, phone, currency, free text, or single-/multi-select dropdown.

You can add multiple Custom Fields criteria to a single search, combine Back Office Extra and BOLD custom field criteria, and pin the term to your search bar for quick access.

Overview

A new Enhanced Report will give your team complete visibility into messaging activity across every communication channel in AviontéBOLD — SMS, in-app messaging, direct chat, SmartLink, and automated engagement triggers — all in a single view. Filter by office, user, chat group, delivery method, message type, and date, with rolling three-month data availability.

Why We Built It

There was no single place to see how your team was using messaging across channels and message types. Managers had no easy way to gauge recruiter adoption, compare SMS versus in-app volume, or understand how much candidate outreach was being handled automatically by engagement triggers versus sent manually.

What to Expect

Once Enhanced Reports is enabled, the report is accessible through the PIXEL section in System Settings or your User Profile. Filter by office, user, chat group, delivery method, message type, and date to view messaging activity across your team for the past three months.

Overview

The Table Editor Report will exclude archived items across all configuration categories. Currently, archived records appear alongside active ones, making it harder to identify which values are in use. Active items will continue to display as before.

Why We Built It

The Table Editor Report is used to review system configuration values. Archived items have no operational role in that view — their presence alongside active records creates confusion about which values are current and can lead to incorrect configuration decisions.

What to Expect

No action will be required. Once available, when you navigate to Analyze > Table Editor Report, only active (non-archived) records will appear across all categories, including Talent Document Types, Company Document Types, Job Document Types, Job Types, Certifications, Certification Tracking, and Job End Reasons.

Overview

The Talent Questionnaires Report now includes a Talent Status column and filter, making it easier to see where each talent stands in the hiring process without opening individual records. Three updates ship together:

Why We Built It

When reviewing questionnaire results, users had no way to see where a talent stood in the hiring process without navigating to their individual profile. Adding talent status directly to the report eliminates that extra step and lets coordinators prioritize follow-up based on pipeline stage without leaving the report view.

What to Expect

No action is required. Once available, the Talent Status column will appear automatically in the Talent Questionnaires Report. Use the new Talent Status filter to narrow results by one or more statuses, and note that the existing Status filter has been renamed to Questionnaire Status to distinguish it from the new filter.

Overview

A new Employee Payroll Data – Partner Quote report is now available for generating and sharing employee information with external partners for quoting purposes. The report consolidates employee details, tax setup, and payroll data into a single export, eliminating the need to manually pull data from multiple sources. Key capabilities include:

Why We Built It

Preparing payroll data for external partners previously meant pulling information from multiple reports and formatting it manually before sharing. This report brings all required employee and payroll details into a single, ready-to-share export, reducing the time and risk involved in preparing partner quotes.

What to Expect

Once available, run the Employee Payroll Data – Partner Quote report from the Analyze section. Filter by check date range and branch, then export the results to share with your external partners. No additional configuration is required.
