Detailed Change Log

2025.6.0 Release on Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Release 2025.6.0 on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, represents our sixth production deployment of 2025. This release contains several customer-facing improvements and internal system enhancements to improve overall system functionality and user experience.

The following changes were deployed as part of this release:

Enhanced Email Capabilities

  • Editor Enhancements: Our email composer now includes two new plugins:

    • Preview: Easily see how your email will appear to recipients before sending

    • Code: Access and edit the HTML code directly for advanced customization

  • Improved Batch Email Handling: We've made significant improvements to our email system, ensuring that invalid email addresses will no longer cause an entire email batch to be sent to the replay queue, delaying successful delivery. Valid emails in a batch will continue to be sent even if some addresses are invalid.

Submittal Tab Experience Enhancements

  • Consistent Action Buttons: We've standardized the action buttons across both the Applicant and Requirement Submittal tabs, creating a more intuitive and consistent user experience. For example, the Google Maps link to illustrate the distance between the Applicant's home address and the job location are accessible from the More dropdown on both screens now.

Wiz AI Improvements

  • Expanded Contextual Understanding: Our Wiz AI now has enhanced context awareness across multiple areas:

    • Job descriptions now include requirement context

    • Emails from the Requirement Submittal Tab include job context

    • Individual applicant and contact emails include relevant context

    • Sender and receiver context for more personalized communication

Hiring Manager Communication

  • Additional Manager Notifications: Now all additional hiring managers listed on a job will receive the communication templates triggered by submittal status changes, not just the primary hiring manager.

Engage Application Integration

  • Added system support and unified experience for endpoints required by the emerging, new Engage interface. More details will come with the anticipated Q3 release of this new AI CRM product from BrightMove.

This release affects all editions.


2025.5.0 Release on Saturday, April 26, 2025

Release 2025.5.0 on Saturday, April 26, 2025, represents our fifth production deployment of 2025. This release contains several customer-facing improvements and internal system enhancements to improve overall system functionality and user experience.

The following changes were deployed as part of this release:

Visual Enhancements

  • Submittal Tab Redesign: We redesigned the layout of the submittal tab on the candidate screen and the job screen. The reason for this redesign is reduce horizontal scrolling and to reduce frustration for the user when critical buttons are off the main screen viewport.

  • Contact Avatar Fix: We've resolved an issue where manager avatars were displaying as broken images after upload.

  • Dashboard Chart Improvements: Charts on the Applicant and Requirement Dashboard tabs now display "no data available for this chart" when no data exists, providing clearer visual feedback.

  • Client Logo Updates: We've implemented a new API for generating client logos, ensuring more accurate and up-to-date company branding.

Wiz AI and Parsing Improvements

  • Enhanced AI Prompts: We've improved our Wiz AI functionality for emails and SMS, removing unnecessary commentary and ensuring correct formatting when using substitution fields.

  • Resume Parsing Error Handling: We've enhanced our resume parsing system with better error handling and logging. If the parser encounters an error, you'll now receive a clear notification popup after upload.

Enhanced Recruiter-Manager Communication

  • Customizable Welcome Emails: Company admins can now select from predefined communication templates when granting system access to managers. This feature allows for easy customization and personalization of the welcome email. Access these templates through the new 'Engage Settings' link under Settings.

  • Contact Profile Viewing: We've resolved an issue where managers were unable to view other managers' profiles despite having the proper permissions.

Company Creation & Management Improvements

  • Automatic Role Assignment: When an RPO Parent user creates a new company via RPO template, the user will now be automatically assigned the "Administration" role to the newly created company, eliminating the need for manual role assignment.

  • Enhanced Data Tables: The Company Management Security modal now features an improved data table interface for better usability.

Job Board Integration

  • ZipRecruiter Disposition Feedback: We've added ZipRecruiter to our Job Board Disposition Feedback project, ensuring continued support for the organic feed.

Technical Improvements

  • API Support: Added system support for endpoints required by the emerging, new Engage interface. More details will come with the anticipated Q3 release of this new AI CRM product from BrightMove.

This release affects all editions.


2025.4.0 Release on Saturday, April 5, 2025

Release 2025.4.0 on Saturday, April 5, 2025, represents our fourth production deployment of 2025. This release contains several customer-facing improvements and internal system enhancements to improve overall system functionality and user experience.

The following changes were deployed as part of this release:

  • Email Improvements: A major improvement was made to the email editor. Now, when sending email to candidates and hiring managers from within the ATS, the composition screen is intuitive, fast and responsive. Also, the ability to delay the time when the message is sent was added.

  • Wiz AI Limited Beta: Wiz is the Agentic AI bot within ATS that can perform smart, time saving tasks. In this release, we introduce Wiz as a limited beta - limits apply to the number of AI requests a user can perform. Wiz's current capabilities allow you to use generative AI to create rich email content and job descriptions.

  • Offer Letter Improvements: Offer letter templates now support the dynamic inclusion of user defined fields into the offer letter. Additionally, the users can dynamically assign the signing order of the offer letter from within the offer screen.

This release affects all editions.


2025.3.0 Release on Thursday, February 27, 2025

Release 2025.3.0 on Thursday, February 27, 2025, represents our third production deployment of 2025. This release contains several customer-facing improvements and internal system enhancements to improve overall system functionality and user experience.

The following changes were deployed as part of this release:

  • Job Templates Enhancement: Fixed an issue with job templates to ensure the correct original opening value is displayed when viewing templates. When creating a new job or template, the system will now automatically copy the original opening value to the openings field if it's empty.

  • Offer Letter Modal UI Enhancement: Improved the Offer Letter modal UI to better indicate who will receive the letter and the sequence of the signing process. Reorganized the order of signers on the modal and added explanatory helper text detailing the signing order.

  • Offer Letter Attachment Name Consistency: Fixed an issue where the attachment name in DocuSign differed from what was shown in the ATS when selecting the offer letter. This ensures naming consistency across both systems and improves the end-to-end document signing experience.

  • Internal system improvements for billing processes and scheduling functionality.

This release affects all editions.
