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.

We've allowed for more control over your email notifications!

Now, easily manage individual application alerts directly from incoming emails via the new "Manage alerts" option.

(Future: Look out for upcoming weekly and monthly digest options for even better overview!)

We've now implemented a new warning prompt that appears if you attempt to navigate away from a page with unsaved application notes. This prevents accidental loss of long notes ensures your progress is always secure.

Added a clear, intuitive permission pop-up for camera and microphone access before audio or video responses begin. This ensures a smoother technical setup for candidates, reducing friction and improving completion rates.

We’ve addressed a persistent issue where video recordings from some Apple devices would appear rotated by 90 or 180 degrees. No recruiter should have to crane their neck to watch a candidate interview. This was caused by inconsistencies in how Safari on Apple devices reports video orientation data.

What We've Fixed:

We have deployed a patch that specifically improves how we detect and process videos recorded on Mac devices using the Safari browser. This will resolve the issue for a significant number of affected users and ensure videos from these devices display correctly.

A Note on Remaining Issues:

The underlying issue may still persist for videos recorded on some iPads. We are continuing to investigate a more permanent and comprehensive solution to account for the inconsistencies in Apple's ecosystem.

We are committed to resolving this completely. Thank you for your patience as we work through the complexities.

Fixed an issue where the email reminder templates were showing the wrong value for the hours after which reminders would be sent.

The values were only shown incorrectly and reminder emails were always being sent at the correct set duration.

We resolved a bug for some users where typing into any field designated for a URL would incorrectly trigger a NaN (Not a Number) error, preventing users from entering a web address.

We heard you loud and clear: the delays in video processing were unacceptable. We promised a fast, efficient screening process, and our previous video encoding system was failing to deliver on that promise, creating backlogs and forcing you to wait.

Effective immediately, we have migrated our entire video infrastructure to a new, state-of-the-art cloud provider. This eliminates processing queues entirely.

What this means for you:

This upgrade allows you to review candidates faster, accelerate your hiring cycle, and maintain momentum with top talent.

We resolved a critical bug that affected users sending emails through their own custom Microsoft 365 SMTP configurations. The authentication token required to connect to Microsoft's services was expiring and not being refreshed, causing email deliveries to fail silently.

This issue could interrupt key workflows, such as sending candidate invitations, and negatively impact the hiring process. The fix ensures the authentication token is now proactively refreshed, guaranteeing reliable email delivery for all users with a custom Microsoft 365 email setup.
