This will cause the top bar of any specific record to reflect the type of record that it is. For instance, Candidates records will be green.
Modern View:
Classic View:
This makes it much easier to distinguish at a glance what kind of record you are working on.
Q: How do I search by specific criteria?

Click on the search bar. Then select a combination of additional criteria to narrow down your search. You can set the rule to include/exclude the criteria. The Example below searches the Elkhart Branch for Active records and excludes anyone with the name Jake.
Some fields have additional, unique actions. Address, for example, lets you filter for a certain radius from that address.
While the “Find” button has its purposes, the “Search” function is a much more effective way of searching for specific records.

ONBOARDING 365 FAQ'S
If your applicant is reporting that they see the name of another Staffing Agency on their onboarding page like this:
You can instruct your applicant to log into this page with their estaff credentials. The same email and username they would use to log into our onboarding site.
The applicant should now be on the Home page. Please ask the them to click the top right corner of their screen for the three horizontal lines (or hamburger) and select “Change Agency” as pictured below.
The applicant should now click the top right corner as pictured above and select “Change Agency”, which should result in a drop-down appearing that looks like this:
Please instruct your applicant to select Forge Industrial Staffing from the drop-down list.
The Applicant should now be logged into the correct instance of Onboarding, and can proceed with their document submittal.
On Desktop
If the SA has not completed the document packet yet, they will be able to simply click “Options” in the top right of their screen on desktop
Then click options again and select “Checklist”
Then click “Reopen Profile”
IF THE SA HAS ALREADY COMPLETED THEIR DOCUMENT PACKET!
If the document packet has been completed, the blue Reopen Profile button will not be available for the SA.
The coordinator will have to go to into the OB365 tab for the candidate and click Options and Edit
This brings you to a list of documents in the packet:
If you delete a form and then add it again using the buttons detailed above, the SA will then be able to see the blue “Reopen Profile” button on their end as described in the previous method. The SA will be directed to the form that was deleted first, which should alert them that the info was incorrect on that document.
Regardless of which method is used, they will be asked to edit the initial info used for autofill, and then will have to quickly go through and confirm each form they have done already. They will *not* have to refill any of those forms, unless the edit they made to the pre-hire info would affect that specific form.
FOR MOBILE:
If the SA is on a mobile device, the steps are similar and detailed below.
To get to the “Reopen Profile” button on mobile. Click the options in the top right corner and select “Home”
The Reopen Profile button should be displayed on their home screen:
How can I tell if an applicant’s email address is real?
You can check to see if an email address is real and valid using any number of email validation services.
I recommend Email Checker – Verify Email Address Online (email-checker.net)
It is very straightforward to use. You just enter the email address in the text field and hit “Check”.
The results will come back as either “OK”
or “Bad”
It is also possible for an address to come back as “Unknown”, but that is less common.
This can be a useful tool when trying to determine why an applicant isn’t receiving emails.
General Rundown of OB365 Dashboard Functions
“I received an Onboarding Error. How can I check to see if the packet was sent?”
There are times that the communication between OB365 and Bullhorn breaks down or you need to check the specific details of an onboarding packet and can’t get to it from the OB365 tab of a candidate record. The OB365 Dashboard is a very useful tool in this and other situations. Here’s how to get to it!
From your Bullhorn Menu:
Then just click on the OB365 Button here!
The area inside of the OB365 Dashboard that you will likely use to troubleshoot problems is “Candidate Onboarding”
Once you are in the Candidate Onboarding section. You can click on the options button in the right-hand corner to search for a specific onboarding packet.
After searching for your specific candidate by their last name, you’ll be presented with each of the document packets they have been sent. Don’t worry too much about duplicates in this list, as these are not profiles, but “packets” of documents. I think of them as big manilla envelopes full of forms… Mailing more than one doesn’t cause too much trouble.
You can see from the picture above that onboarding packets are categorized by “Status”. There will be times when you try to onboard someone, and you get an error that will indicate the packet was not sent. Usually in these cases, you can come into the OB365 dashboard and confirm that the packet was indeed sent.
If you want to learn more about where the onboarding packet was sent, or what Bullhorn account it is tied to. You can look at the “Details” page.
The Email address that the packet was sent to will be listed here, and the second part of the “Business Key” should match the Bullhorn ID# of the candidate you are onboarding.
The button next to “Details” is the “Checklist”. If you are trying to certify an I-9 or want to check on the progress of an Onboarding Packet, this is the place you want to be.
Inside the Checklist, you will be able to review and certify documents for a packet that is in the “Ready for Review” status.
You can also see the history of emails related to this packet, view them, and resend them if necessary.
The “Options” button on this page lets you re-open a profile that was cancelled in error (keep in mind this will send it to the same email address that is was created for, and is not a solution for an onboarding sent to the wrong address).
It also lets you Edit/View documents in the packet.
When you click on “Edit” you will be brought to a screen that looks like this:
You can see each document in the packet here. You can also delete a particular document or add a new copy of a document from this area. KEEP IN MIND: Because I-9s are auto filled with information from the initial application, deleting an I-9 and then re-adding it will not help you to correct an inaccurate I-9.
If you click on “View Documents” instead, you will be presented with the screen here:
You will be able to see the status of each document and whether or not it is ready for certification. The blue “Start” button will start the process of certification.
