Fresh from Folks — May 2026: Smarter Onboarding, Cleaner Reports & Seamless Payroll Sync
May is here, and so is a fresh batch of updates designed to make your HR workflows smoother, faster, and more reliable. This month, we’re giving you more control over employee onboarding, cleaner recruitment data, and rock-solid payroll integrations. Let’s dive in!
What’s New
Take Control of Your Onboarding Forms with Required Fields
You asked, we listened! Now you can mark specific fields as mandatory in your self-onboarding forms. No more incomplete profiles or missing critical information — if a field is required, new hires won’t be able to skip it. This means cleaner data from day one and fewer back-and-forth emails chasing down essential details. Perfect for ensuring compliance and completeness right from the start.
Improvements
Better Candidate Insights with City Data in Your ATS Reports
Understanding where your candidates are coming from just got easier. We’ve added the City field to the “Detailed Web Applications” report in Folks ATS. Whether you’re analyzing regional recruitment trends or planning your talent sourcing strategy, this small addition gives you sharper insights into your candidate pool’s geographic distribution.
