On Monday, August 14, 2023, we released Matador Jobs 3.8.13 to all our users. This release contains an improvement and bugfix to assist in connection stability issues with Bullhorn.

Connection Stability

We wrote a post last week that addressed some observed connection stability issues experienced by some of our users with a promise we’d look for areas to improve. We updated the post at the end of week explaining that we observed a new, infrequent, and yet unexplained occurrence during the reconnection loop that would create a false-positive condition when Matador evaluated if it should continue attempting to reconnect to Bullhorn. This patch contains an adjustment to add finesse to this process and minimize false-positives during this test.

  • It appears that Bullhorn is currently experiencing some issues with its connection quality and in reviewing our automatic reconnection routine we identified an opportunity to add finesse around a temporary error that was being misinterpreted by Matador as a permanent error, resulting in Matador determining it could no longer connect and send notice to the administrator. We will now retry a reconnection on these temporary errors while continuing to stop attempts to reconnect when the permanent error is encountered.
  • Fixed a bug impacting the functionality of the Test Auto Reconnect feature of the Bullhorn Connection Assistant that was introduced with performance improvements in 3.8.7.
