Besides a fresh new design, there are several functional changes:

• When creating a user account, you now need to choose both a username and an email address. The username is used to log in to the platform. The email address is used for communication, such as receiving password reset instructions and other notifications. This differs from the previous version of the platform, where your email address was also your username.
• We have changed some terminology. Contracts are now called assignments for example.

• The process for submitting proposals has changed. In the new version, you can no longer directly enter candidate data. You now start by selecting or creating a human resource (this can also be yourself) before proceeding. 

  This approach offers several advantages. You no longer need to repeatedly enter the same data when you want to propose the same candidate multiple times, which not only saves time but also reduces the chance of errors. Moreover, linking files such as proposals and assignments to a unique human resource ensures that you always have a clear and organized overview. 

  You can see on the detail page of a human resource to which files this human resource is linked. 

  Candidate data from previously created proposals will be automatically converted into human resources. If you have responded to requests in the past, the list of human resources will already contain data. If you have proposed the same person multiple times, you will notice that multiple records have been created. This is because we do not always have a unique identification of a proposed candidate in old proposals.
