Enhanced candidate profile visibility restrictions

• Default Off

• Config implementation required

This feature introduces a flexible way for customers to define exactly when data masking should be applied. It allows customers to write their own custom rules using a rule engine, providing granular control over masking behavior. This significantly reduces the need for code refactoring and maintenance overhead when new masking policies are required, enhancing system flexibility and debuggability.

Value

• The previous masking feature in Eightfold evaluated masking based on a user’s role relative to a position, categorizing users into recruiter, hiring manager, followers, and others. An issue arose when users had multiple roles (for example, both recruiter and hiring manager). If masking was enabled only for hiring managers, candidates were still getting masked due to the recruiter's role, contradicting expectations.

• This feature integrates masking with a flexible rule engine, allowing customers to define their own rules for applying masking. This dynamic and configurable approach addresses complex user role scenarios and avoids maintenance overhead.

• Using this feature, customers can now define multiple rules under unique keys for different masking use cases, such as sharing, position, and profile masking.

Impact on existing workflows

The user experience for viewing masked/unmasked data remains largely the same; the difference lies in what is masked and when. This provides a more tailored and accurate data visibility based on organizational policies, improving confidence in data security.
