Phase 8.6 Release Notes

Released on July, 2025

Summary

The Hire2Retire 8.6 release adds key enhancements to workforce automation. This update introduces a new access connector Skillsoft Percipio, with built-in SCIM provisioning, enabling seamless automated provisioning and de-provisioning between Percipio and your Identity Provider.

Several enhancements improve the user experience and operational efficiency. Form validation has been refined for clearer guidance, while a new feature allows temporary sharing of mailbox and OneDrive during employee leave. Additionally, Hire2Retire now supports sending account passwords via email in the ImageRight SCIM integration. As part of backend improvements, SMTP servers are migrating from Outlook to AWS, ending support for Microsoft Purview encryption with RoboMQ’s email server.

New Features

Support more SCIM applications

Hire2Retire now supports built-in SCIM provisioning with Skillsoft Percipio. Users can now create seamless integrations in Hire2Retire workflows that automate provisioning and de-provisioning for targeted employees between Percipio and the Identity Provider setup.

Enhancements

Share mailbox and OneDrive during employee leave

This feature allows temporary sharing of an employee’s mailbox and OneDrive during their leave of absence. It ensures business continuity by enabling designated colleagues or managers to access essential communications and documents, while maintaining data privacy and access controls.

Hire2Retire email server migration

Hire2Retire is migrating its SMTP servers from Outlook to AWS SES. This will make the email service more reliable. After migration Microsoft Purview encryption will no longer be supported when sending emails using RoboMQ's email sever. Users will be able to use encryption functionality while using their organization's Outlook SMTP connection.

Other Improvements

  1. Form validation has been improved to provide users with clearer instructions and help them complete the form smoothly. The improvements include validations for the HR data mapping module, Excel functions, import/export mapping data, group mapping table data, and more.
  2. Hire2Retire now supports sending new account passwords via email in the ImageRight SCIM integration
