What’s Changed?

Redesigned Candidate List

The candidate list is now centered around a single Overall Fit score, giving you a clear and consistent view of how well each candidate aligns to the job.

  • A single Overall Fit score as the primary signal — A single, clear score shows how well each candidate’s results align to the job, supporting fast, at-a-glance decisions. Component scores have been removed to reduce noise and keep the focus on what matters most.

  • Overall Fit shown only when results are complete — The score appears only after a candidate completes all required assessments, ensuring results are consistent and comparable. Candidates with incomplete results are clearly indicated so you can quickly see who is ready for review.

  • Clearer assessment invitation experience — Separate options make it easier to send an email invitation, initiate an onsite test, or add a candidate without an invitation.

  • Candidates sorted for fast action — Candidates with complete results are prioritized at the top (highest to lowest), followed by partial and incomplete results, so you can focus on the candidates most ready to move forward.

  • Additional sorting options — Sort candidates by score, name, create date, last active date, and status to quickly organize your view.

  • Bulk status updates — Select one or more candidates and update their status to Hired, Active, or Archived in a single step.

  • Easy to drill down and compare — Click into a candidate for full results or select 2–4 candidates to compare side-by-side during screening.

  • Job opening information available at a glance — View key details like status, hiring manager, location, and other relevant information directly from the candidate list.

Updated Candidate Comparison Experience

You can now compare candidates side-by-side in a single view that mirrors detailed results, making it easier to evaluate strengths and differences across finalists.

  • A consistent, side-by-side comparison view — View 2–4 candidates at once in a single layout, bringing all results together in one place for easier evaluation.

  • Aligned with detailed results — Attributes appear in the same order and format as individual candidate results, so comparing candidates feels like a natural extension of your workflow.

  • Easier to evaluate strengths and trade-offs — Scan across candidates by attribute to quickly identify differences, strengths, and areas of alignment for the job.

  • Everything in one place — Compare candidates without switching tabs, downloading reports, or moving between views.
