Job settings now has a field to set a date to stop accepting new applications.
Jobs automatically paused have a notification displaying when they were paused.
The job application page shows a message and does not allow for new applications once the job is paused.
Along with single-line text, links, numbers, dates and multiple choice questions you can now collect email addresses as a standard response.
We’ve added the ability to reach candidates faster with SMS notifications — alongside email.
You can now set up Email & SMS templates for interview invites and reminders directly under Job Settings → Emails/SMS.
Candidates can choose to receive SMS updates when applying (fully compliant with privacy and consent policies).
SMS credits can be managed in your Billing section — view available credits, check usage logs, or purchase more anytime.
SMS credits never expire, so you can use them whenever you need to engage candidates quickly.
Make sure your candidates never miss an interview invitation again!
We’ve made it easier for candidates to enter their phone numbers accurately and effortlessly.
What’s new:
- Separate country code selector — Country codes are now managed in a dedicated field.
- Smart search — Candidates can search by country name or code for quick selection.
This update improves the candidate experience, especially for international applicants.
Many teams run their pipeline in Loxo and just need a fast way to add a one‑way video screen without leaving the ATS.
Our new native connector lets you trigger Hirevire invites on a stage change, then view status and review links back on the Loxo candidate.
Available under My Account > Integrations
Once setup each Hirevire job can be connected to a Loxo job in the Hirevire job settings page.
The hirevire interview is triggered automatically when a Loxo candidate moves to the invitation stage.
The completion stage in Loxo will receive the interview share link. This link can be viewed without moving away from Loxo.
The optional "Update candidate stage" checkbox allows Hirevire to synchronize candidates who apply directly through your public job links back to Loxo. This ensures all Loxo candidate activity within Hirevire is tracked, regardless of whether they used the link public link or the link sent in their personal invite.

Flexible pre‑apply information collection
Why
Increase apply conversions while capturing the right signal up front. You can now control which fields are required, optional, or alternatives so candidates don’t drop off when they don’t have a specific document handy.
What’s new
Required vs Optional (replaces simple on/off)
- Move fields into “Mandatory” or “Optional.” Candidates must complete all Mandatory fields before starting the application.
"Any one of the following" group
- Let candidates proceed by completing any one field from this group (e.g., LinkedIn OR Resume). Great for mobile users or early‑funnel roles.
More standard fields
- Added LinkedIn Profile, GitHub, Date of Birth, Date of Availability, and WhatsApp Number.
- Existing fields remain: First name, Last name, Email, Contact Number, Resume, plus Custom fields.
Usability
- URL/phone validation and date pickers.
- Limit of 7 total pre‑apply fields to keep friction low (counter shown in UI).
Also added to Delayed Invites
- The same Mandatory / Optional / Any‑one controls and new standard fields are available on the Delayed Invites settings screen.
- Use them to collect only the essentials before the invite is sent, then schedule the video‑interview email to go out after your chosen delay.
Where
- Job → Edit Job → Additional settings → “Information collected before application starts.”
- Job → Settings → Delayed invite.
Migration
- Your previous selections are preserved. Fields that were enabled are placed in Mandatory by default; disabled fields stay off. Review once to take advantage of Optional/Any‑one settings.
Tips
- Common pattern: Mandatory = First/Last name, Email; Optional = Contact/WhatsApp; Any‑one = LinkedIn OR Resume.
- Fewer fields = higher completion. Use “Any one of” to reduce drop‑off without losing signal.
Reduce drop‑off at apply. Collect basic details first, then send the video‑interview invite later. This lowers friction for candidates who might abandon when they see video questions upfront.
What’s new
Delay invites by hours: schedule the interview email to send after a configurable delay.
Collect first: choose the fields to capture before the invite (email, contact number, resume, first/last name, plus custom fields).
Custom confirmation: set the message candidates see immediately after applying.
Template control: uses your “Invite or verify applicants” email template (link to edit from the settings panel).
Where
Per job: Jobs → Settings → Delayed invite.
How it works
- Turn on “Enable delayed invitations.”
- Select the fields you want to collect pre‑invite.
- Write the confirmation message.
- Set the delay (in hours) and Save.
- Candidates submit basic info first; Hirevire automatically sends the video‑interview invite email after the delay. Timeline events show when the invite was scheduled and sent.
Notes
Applies to new applications after you enable it.
Works with email invites.
Impact
Teams typically see improved application completion and more candidates reaching the video stage without additional manual work.
In the create / edit job - additional settings - you can now ask for a resume upload before the candidate starts the application.
Here's how it looks on the application page
The resume is available to view and download along with the information collected on the application start page.
You can also decide to show this uploaded resume on the share application link page.
You can now add CC (carbon copy) email addresses to automated emails sent from Hirevire.
This makes it easier to:
- Keep hiring managers, team members, or other stakeholders in the loop.
- Ensure important communications (like shortlisting or rejection emails) are shared with the right people automatically.
Just add one or more CC addresses when setting up your email template in the "Emails" tab in the "Job settings" page.
Introduced a new "Download Report" option for each application. This allows you to quickly generate a comprehensive PDF summary of all candidate responses and details, making it easier to review, share, and organize application data.
This addresses the pain of manual copy pasting from different sections.
