This release profoundly transforms your recruitment experience: artificial intelligence analyses your CVs, your LinkedIn and email exchanges are now centralized within the ATS, and comparing your candidates has never been easier.

 

New Features

  • Unified LinkedIn & Email Messaging: Connect your Gmail, Outlook, and LinkedIn accounts to communicate with your candidates directly within the ATS. All your exchanges are grouped into a chronological history on the candidate profile, with real-time notifications so you never miss a message.
  • Side-by-Side Candidate Comparison: Select multiple candidates from the Kanban view or the list and compare them on a clear grid: your criteria in rows, candidates in columns. The best values are highlighted, and you can change a candidate’s stage or view their profile directly from the grid.

 

Improvements

  • Quick Add Candidate and Job: The new Add new+ button accessible from the header now opens a window to add a candidate (manually or via AI analysis) and add a job.
  • AI CV Analysis: AI analysis automatically generates a bilingual summary, extracts education and experience, and allows you to make an immediate decision without leaving your screen. Your ongoing analyses are saved and accessible from the main menu.
  • Access to AI Features Based on Your Plan: Artificial intelligence features (CV analysis, candidate-job matching) are now managed according to your organisation’s plan. AI buttons remain visible to all; a clear guide directs you if an upgrade or consent is required.
