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.
Now, easily hide specific questions and their responses when creating public or client-facing shared application links. This gives you granular control over sensitive information (like compensation details), ensuring you only share what's relevant and confidential with your clients.
We’ve upgraded your analytics to give you deeper insights into candidate traffic and behaviour.
- Visitors (Unique Views) and Total Views are now tracked separately.
- Traffic Sources: See where your candidates are coming from (e.g., direct, Google, LinkedIn).
- Device Breakdown: Understand engagement across Desktop, Mobile, and Tablet.
With these new metrics, you can better track application performance and optimise your sourcing strategy.
You can now log in to your Hirevire Portal using your Microsoft account, in addition to Google and email OTP.
This makes accessing your account faster, easier, and more secure — especially for teams already using Microsoft 365.
In addition to the per-application email alerts, you can now choose to receive a Weekly Recap and/or a Monthly Recap.
These recaps give you a quick summary of new applications on your jobs over the selected period, helping you stay informed without checking in daily.
You can enable or disable these at any time by visiting the My account page and selecting the Profile details tab here.
We've significantly enhanced the experience for visually impaired users.
All interactive buttons across application pages, job forms, shared links, careers pages, and the WYSIWYG editor now include proper aria-label attributes.
Screen readers will now correctly announce the purpose of each button (e.g., "Bold," "Insert Image"), making the entire Hirevire platform fully navigable and intuitive for all candidates and users.
