! CURRENT Mercury version 34 Release Notes - July 2025

Shortlist Board View 
 

The new Shortlist Board is the easiest way to view where your candidates are in the recruitment process and progress them to the next stage. 

In your Vacancies you are now able to choose between seeing your candidates in List or Board view, and progress them through from Shortlist all the way to Acceptance or Rejection. 

Key features include 

• Drag and drop candidates to the next stage in the recruitment process 
• Records updated across Mercury automatically  

There has never been an easier and quicker way to progress your Candidates. 

This option is now available for all users – simply click on Candidates in your Vacancy and choose Board View to see it for yourself.

UI/UX Enhancements  

The following UI and UX enhancements have been completed as part of the v34 release. For full information please refer to the itemised release notes.

Worker Type Compliance 
 

We have simplified the process of associating Worker Types to Compliance items. This new method will reduce the number of Agreements that need to be set up whilst giving you more flexibility to manage important information. 

Key features include: 

• Group specific compliance to a particular Worker Type and build up Compliance from different sources (Agreement, Worker Type). 
• Add one or more Worker Types and link the appropriate Compliance to a specific Placement and easily see where a Worker Type has been previous linked to a Placement. 
• You are able to add the Worker Type to the Validation process to ensure that Recruiters are either populating the Worker Type or reviewing it before submitting a Placement for Validation — supporting early compliance checks.    
• View Placements associated with a Worker Type directly from the Placements tab in the Worker Type form.    

There is more information available on the itemised release notes, and the Knowledge Base.

Mercury Forms now appear as Default 

We have been working to bring the new Mercury Forms up to parity with the legacy UCI forms. This work is now complete and so the Mercury Forms will now be the default form used across the Contact, Placement, Client and Vacancy entities.

Auto-calculate Financials on Rate Change 

The Candidate Pay and Pay & Charge figures are now automatically recalculated based on the frequency when changing the Standard Rate Type on a Placement. This means that you will not need to recalculate the values yourself, making it easier.  

Note this is only applicable for Hourly and Daily rates based on the values (Hours per Day) on the Placement.

Upload multiple documents to SharePoint 

For any entity that has Documents, we have added a new ribbon button “Open SharePoint” which will open your SharePoint environment. This will allow you to select Documents from a range of different entities and upload in one go rather than having to individually select and upload, saving you time and effort.

Ability to change Client on a Placement 

We have added a new Security Role which enables the ability to Change a Client on a Placement via a new button on the ribbon called “Novate”. This will allow you to keep a record up to date should the Client change.
