AI Resume Review now does an even better job aligning candidate evaluations with your role requirements, making it easier to identify the right candidates in more nuanced hiring scenarios.

What’s new
- New option on the AI Resume Review step in the position workflow to evaluate candidates using internal requirements only
- More accurate evaluation of candidate experience, including career progression, seniority, and employment gaps
- Improved detection of mismatches between a candidate’s background and the role they applied for
- More consistent and reliable evaluation outputs across candidates
Getting started
Accuracy improvements take effect immediately, with no action required. To evaluate candidates using internal requirements only, edit the AI Resume Review step in your position workflow.

English proficiency update in AI Video Review
We’ve improved the English proficiency score in AI Video Review to better reflect what employers usually look for: candidates who can communicate clearly on the job.
The score is now more aligned with practical workplace communication, putting more emphasis on clarity and articulation and less emphasis on minor grammar mistakes:
- Strong— The candidate can communicate clearly on the job using job-specific vocabulary with proper grammar and sentence structure.
- Neutral— The candidate can communicate clearly on the job using job-specific vocabulary.
- Weak— The candidate may have difficulty communicating clearly on the job.
Getting started
The updated English proficiency score is now live and applies to all new AI Video Review ratings of One-Way Video Interview submissions.
We’ve introduced a refreshed One-Way Video Interview experience designed to make the process faster, clearer, and more engaging for candidates. The updated experience features a more intuitive flow, clearer guidance, and a polished, employer-branded design that helps candidates complete interviews with greater confidence and improve overall completion rates.
What’s new
- Simplified interview flowhelps candidates move through the process more confidently and reduces drop-offs.
- Refreshed, employer-branded designcreates a polished first impression and a more cohesive candidate experience.
- Clearer guidance and fewer clickswith the intro video first and the questionnaire on a single page.
- Improved interview readinessthrough clear expectations and mobile enhancements, including portrait recording.
- Virtual backgroundsto help candidates present themselves professionally from any location.
- A redesigned landing pageto further improve the experience.
Getting started
The new experience is being rolled out gradually. Virtual backgrounds and the refreshed landing page will be introduced separately as part of the rollout. No action is required on your part.

Upload a one-off offer letter
When extending an offer, candidates may negotiate unique terms or require a tailored clause. This new feature lets recruiters handle these one-off changes by uploading a custom offer letter directly in the Offer step without adding another template to the library.
How it works
- Owners or Admins enable the option in the account settings (it is disabled by default).
- Recruiters create a custom offer, using dynamic attributes available on the Offer step.
- They then upload the offer letter instead of choosing a template from the library.
- Custom offers are not saved to the library.
Getting started
Enable one-off offer letters for your recruiters in

(requires an Admin role). See our help article for more details.new
