The problem we have is that once we have marked the candidate as 'Hired' there is no way that we can change their status afterwards without 'unhiring' them against the job. We need to be able to hire people for a fixed period of time, after which they would become 'available' again. How do we go about doing this?
Search on Postcode criteria not working properly
Hi there, I used to be able to do an advanced candidate search on 'Postcode starts with' and then enter the first two letters of the UK postcode. So if I used CH then it would bring back candidates in CH1, CH2, CH3 etc. This seems to have changed in the last week so that it now only brings back postcodes that exactly match CH only. I tend to use this search criteria extensively so need a fix for it asap please.
