Recruiters see each evaluator’s score and ratings side by side in the candidate panel. **What’s New** * Skill ratings section with a 1 to 5 scale, with mandatory and optional skills marked. * Live overall score that updates as skills are rated. * Select, Hold, and Turn down stay blocked until mandatory skills and fields are filled, with a banner linking to each missing item. * Each evaluator’s overall score and skill ratings shown in the candidate panel. * Steps with no skills configured work as before. **2️⃣ Evaluation Form Fields as Workflow Columns and in Export** **Description:** Recruiters can now add answers from evaluation forms as columns in the workflow candidate list and include them in exports, to compare evaluator input across candidates without opening each profile. **What’s New** * “Evaluation form fields” section in Manage columns, grouped by step. * When several evaluators answer, the cell shows the latest value with a +N chip. * Long answers are trimmed to fit the column, with the full text in a tooltip. * Export includes the added evaluation columns across all pages. [Evaluation Form Fields as Workflow Columns and in Export](https://demo.arcade.software/X1Wo8qHNXoCal1Dg6SKl?embed\&embed_mobile=tab\&embed_desktop=inline\&show_copy_link=true) **3️⃣ Download Submitted Forms as PDF** **Description:** Recruiters can download a submitted evaluation form or registration form as a PDF to share with hiring teams or keep on file. **What’s New** * Download button in the evaluation form view on the Screening, Assessment, and Interview side panels. * Download from the full Evaluate view once the form is submitted. * Download pre and post application registration forms from the candidate side panel and full view. **4️⃣ Global Candidate View: Bulk Invite, Bulk Schedule, Columns and Filters** **Description:** Recruiters can now invite and schedule candidates in bulk from the Global Candidate View, shape the table to show what matters to them, and narrow the list with candidate and workflow filters. **What’s New** * Bulk invite selected candidates to a workflow. * Bulk schedule interviews, choosing the workflow and step in the side panel. * Add, remove, and reorder columns, with the Candidate column fixed while scrolling. * Hover a Resume Fitment result to see the reason behind it. * Advanced filters for candidate status, Resume Fitment, education, experience, and source, plus workflow, owner, and progress.

Candidates flagged by your organization’s eligibility rules are held for review instead of being moved or selected automatically. **What’s New** * Send screening form: eligible candidates are emailed the screening form automatically. * Remind until submitted: candidates who have not submitted the form get reminder emails until they do. * Hold flagged candidates: when a candidate is flagged, their status moves to Hold, unless they are already Turned down, Suspended, Withdrawn, or on Hold. * Skip flagged candidates: auto-move and auto-select rules can be set to skip flagged candidates. Manual actions are never blocked. * A flag icon appears next to the candidate name, with a matching line in the side panel candidate card. **6️⃣ Interviewer Empanelment: Referrers Kept Off the Interview Panel** **Description:** When a candidate was referred by someone in your organization, that person is no longer offered as an interviewer when scheduling the candidate’s interview. **What’s New** * Referral sources, including the referring user, are recorded against the candidate when they are invited to a workflow. * The candidate’s referrers are left out of the interviewer list in the Schedule panel. **7️⃣ Evaluation Edit Window** **Description:** Submitted evaluations can now be edited only for a set window after submission, 72 hours by default, after which they lock. **What’s New** * After submitting, evaluators see “Editable until” with the closing time. * Within the window, every field can be changed, including the recommendation, comments, and form answers. * Once the window closes, the evaluation is read only and shows “Editing closed”. * The window can be set per organization. [Edit Submitted Evaluation](https://demo.arcade.software/yZ0vQ25xqICX8ErEVUVJ?embed\&embed_mobile=tab\&embed_desktop=inline\&show_copy_link=true) **8️⃣ Select on the Final Step Only After Earlier Steps Are Evaluated** **Description:** On the final step of a workflow, a candidate can now be selected only once every earlier step has an evaluation. **What’s New** * Select on the final step is blocked while any earlier step has no evaluation, with a message listing those steps. * Hold and Turn down work as before. * Select becomes available as soon as the missing evaluations come in, without a reload. * Applies in both the full view evaluation panel and the side panel Evaluation tab. **9️⃣ Edit Job Description After Workflow Creation** **Description:** Recruiters can now update a workflow’s job description after the workflow is created. If Resume Fitment is configured, saving the edit regenerates the fitment criteria so results reflect the latest job description. **What’s New** * Edit button in the Job description panel for the workflow owner and Master Recruiters. Other users see it as read only. * The job description opens in the same editor used at workflow creation, with Cancel and Save changes. * A warning before saving that the change regenerates Resume Fitment criteria and may affect candidates already in the workflow. * Workflows without a job description show an Add job description option. #### ⚙️ Enhancements 1️⃣ **Phone Number Search**\ Workflow candidate lists can now be searched by phone number in any format. 2️⃣ **Clearer Notification Emails**\ Notification emails now have standard button labels, sentence case headlines, preheaders that no longer repeat the subject line, and consistent rescheduling labels.
