September 2025 Release Updates

​

Workflow Tools Updates

​

🔧 Fixes & Improvements

1. Dynamic SMS Interview Reminders: Introduced SMS reminders for candidates and interviewers - sent 24 hours or 1 hour before based on the interview scheduled time, ensuring timely participation and reduced no-shows.
2. Session Stability: Resolved sudden logout issues to ensure uninterrupted usage. Now, users on the platform will not be logged out until they click the Logout button.
3. Analytics Coverage: Expanded Mixpanel tracking to cover core actions such as invite, reply, and forward.
4. Candidate Experience: Fixed display issues for long-form candidate responses.
5. Intelligent Scheduling: Addressed multiple issues impacting scheduling reliability:
   • Email delivery inconsistencies
   • Availability addition
   • ICS file RSVP actions
6. Notification Inbox: Corrected status update issues (from other statuses to “Read”) to improve real-time visibility.

​

Candidate Experience Updates

• Phone Number Field with Country Code in Forms: To improve data accuracy and global communication, a new phone number field with a country code selector has been added to data collection forms. This solves the issue of inconsistent or invalid contact information.
• UX Improvement on Mobile Device for Slot Booking: When a candidate is initiating a booking on mobile device, we have introduced an auto scroll on the screen on slot booking page. As and when the candidate selects a date, they will be auto scrolled and displayed the available slot timings for the corresponding date.

​

Payment Enhancements

1. Meeting Status set to “Scheduled” earlier in the booking flow

• The meeting status will now be set to Scheduled in the database as soon as a candidate selects a slot and proceeds to payment.
• Previously, the status was updated only after payment was successfully completed, which sometimes caused issues when candidates dropped off after confirming payment but before final processing. This change ensures that:
  • Slots are reserved immediately, preventing double-booking.
  • Candidates who drop off during payment can resume their booking without losing their slot.

2. New “Initiated” status for transactions

• We have introduced a new transaction status: Initiated.
• Previously, transactions were directly marked as Pending once candidates proceeded to pay. Now:
  • Initiated indicates that the candidate has started the payment process but has not yet attempted the transaction.
  • From this state, the transaction can move to Pending, Success, or Failed, based on responses from the payment provider.
  • For example, a transaction may remain in Pending if a candidate has attempted payment but it is still being processed by the provider.

Secure Browser Updates

1. In Production: Windows store: 2.0.12 | Mac: 2.0.10
2. Confirmation modal on exit: When a user attempts to close the Secure Browser, a confirmation modal now appears. This prevents accidental closure and avoids unnecessary disruption to the exam flow.

• Restricted software alerts: A persistent message is shown until the conflicting application is closed.

4. Detection of screen lock & user switch (Windows): Secure Browser now detects when a user switches accounts or locks the screen during an exam. Such actions are logged, and the browser must be closed and relaunched to continue.
5. Updated blocklist applications: We’ve refreshed the blocklist of restricted applications.

​

Integrations [V7+] Updates

• Confirmation modal pops up when “Stop Proctoring” is clicked: When a candidate clicks Stop Proctoring during an LMS quiz, a confirmation modal appears warning them of the consequences. Confirming this action ends the proctoring session and marks the quiz attempt as submitted.
