Hire faster. Make it yours.

Redesigned Jobs and Candidates lists with powerful new toolbars, Saved Views everywhere, customizable Appearance, and in-app Help & Support — all in one release.

  • Refreshed identity, facts, and signals layout makes scanning feel natural


💼 The redesigned Jobs list

We gave the Jobs list the same first-class treatment — a refreshed layout, redesigned cards, and a powerful toolbar so finding the right requisition is as fast as finding the right candidate.

🔖 Saved views (beta)

Save the filters, sort, and columns you use most, and turn them into reusable lenses on your data. Switching between them is a single click.

✨ Make it yours

  • ✏️ Name your view — "Top grade · last 7 days", "Visa-ready in NYC", anything that fits how you screen

  • ⚡ One-click apply from the toolbar dropdown

  • ✓ Active-view indicator so you always know which lens is currently applied

  • 📑 View summary beneath each name shows the filters and sort at a glance — no need to apply just to peek

👥 Share with your team

  • 🤝 Team-shared views — flag a view as shared and everyone sees the same lens

  • 🏷️ Team tag marks shared views in the list so ownership is always clear

  • 🔒 Delete protection — only the view's creator can delete a team-shared view

🛠️ Built for power users

  • 🔗 Copy link to a view — paste it in Slack, email, or a doc and your teammate lands on the exact same list

  • ☁️ Remote sync keeps your views consistent across sessions and devices


📋 Available columns (beta)

Tailor your candidates list to exactly the fields you care about — refresh, close the tab, come back later, your setup is right where you left it.

  • ✅ Show or hide any column with a single click

  • 🔀 Drag to reorder columns into the order you actually read them in — or use up/down arrows for keyboard-friendly reordering

  • 📝 Pre-screening question answers can now be added as columns — see candidate responses right in the list, no clicking required

  • 🔄 Reset to defaults in one click whenever a view drifts

  • 🏷️ Hidden count badge in the toolbar tells you at a glance how many fields are off

  • 💾 Saved in your browser — your show/hide and order choices persist across refreshes and sessions

  • 🔖 Save as a Saved View — the saved-view button can now capture a column-only setup, so you can switch between different column layouts in one click
