Release

Version Unreleased

New
  • Opportunities let you track deals before they become jobs, with a board, table, and company list
  • Convert a won opportunity into a job without losing the original deal
  • Moving a candidate to your CV-sent pipeline stage opens a submit-to-client dialog so you can choose portal documents, make them visible in the client portal, and send a templated email before the move completes
  • Each job has a Pipeline stages tab to add, reorder, and edit stages for that job without changing your workspace templates
  • Stage groups in Settings let you tag pipeline columns for reporting and set the color used on the job board
  • Workspace owners can set what team members can do with clients, contacts, and jobs: view, create, edit, and delete, including only records they own
  • Team members cannot delete clients unless an owner grants that permission
  • Each workspace has one Owner (account holder) and can have many Admins who manage settings and permissions; ownership can be transferred from Members & Teams
  • Connect ChatGPT or Claude to your Happlicant workspace to search candidates, review jobs, add notes, create tasks, move pipeline stages, rate candidates, update fields, and add tags
  • Set consultant targets in a grid on Reporting — one row per teammate, one column per metric
  • Pick a time window for targets (every day, week, month, or year); values rescale when you change it
  • Reporting shows each consultant’s current activity next to their personal target for the date range you pick
  • Reporting now splits credit for CVs sent, speculative CVs, interviews, offers, and placements between candidate, job, and contact owners
  • Agencies can set one split formula for all those KPIs, or a different formula per KPI, from Reporting split settings
  • Consultants can log a speculative CV to a contact from a candidate profile when there is no job yet
  • Pipeline templates can mark which named stage counts for CV sent, interview, offer, and placement so agency KPIs follow the column you choose, not just the stage type.
Improved
  • Kanban column reorder on a job board now saves the order you drag; CV-sent moves hydrate applicant data on the API so stage changes persist; submit-to-client no longer resets Send email when client details load, and Move without details is available on the dialog
  • Move to stage menus include Placement (with the placement dialog on single moves); bulk moves to placement prompt you to move one candidate at a time
  • Target rescaling between day, week, month, and year keeps small fractional values instead of forcing a minimum of 1
  • Split attribution credit uses the primary owner from candidate owners when set; speculative CVs without a job still credit the candidate owner under a 50/50 split; split percentage fields allow clearing while editing without sticking at 0
  • Submit-to-client documents are compact rows: a square PDF, CSV, or Word badge, the filename, then resume or other on the next line; hover a file to preview it at page size
  • Submit-to-client lists which client contacts can open the portal and see the candidate, and warns if the hiring contact does not have access
  • On smaller screens, dashboard targets use compact donut rows instead of a clipped gauge carousel; on large desktops the gauge carousel uses the same slide sizing as before with square cards and original padding
  • Pipeline summary uses wrapping stage chips with the same stage colors as the desktop table below large breakpoints; the wide table scrolls horizontally with card-colored edge fades when stages overflow
  • Submit-to-client is a compact compose window: From, To, Cc/Bcc, and Subject on their own lines, a large message area, and the candidate, documents, and portal actions in a right sidebar
  • Dashboard target cards include a date filter (default this month) so progress counts match the period you choose without changing Reporting; short or unsupported ranges show a reset prompt instead of hiding the section, and every metric you have a target for stays visible
  • Deprecated Stage types settings are hidden; use Stage groups under Reporting for pipeline colors and reporting tags
  • Job Promote: each job board has a “Show client on this board” switch (default off / agency or confidential branding); preview shows which company will be syndicated
  • Empty document areas on jobs, candidates, and clients accept drag-and-drop or a click to choose a file, then open the same upload dialog as Add Document
  • Unsupported or oversized files show a short red message on the drop zone that clears after a couple of seconds; you can add several documents at once in a compact row list before uploading
  • Job configuration (job details, pipeline stages, and application settings) lives under one Settings tab with compact vertical section tabs inside the page; job tab content is left-aligned again
  • Placement reporting always applies to the last pipeline stage; Inbox and Placement are fixed anchors and cannot be chosen for other key events
  • Settings → Integrations is full width, with category tabs, an All or Connected filter, larger logos, and a green Connected badge on cards
  • Integration connect and save now require mandatory fields (Pnet contract details, enrichment API keys), and Connected only shows when those fields are actually set
  • Apollo and People Data Labs appear under Data Enrichment as Coming soon while enrichment moves to the upcoming People model; People Data Labs is included even when a dev database missed the seed row
  • Pin appears under Sourcing as Coming soon ahead of the Pin.com integration launch
  • Integrations cards use a full-width primary Connect button instead of a small badge for clearer call to action
  • Pnet and other job feed setup dialogs scroll on smaller screens instead of cutting off
  • Job promotion lives on the Promote tab only: post each job board one at a time, and control embed visibility and pinning there instead of Job Settings
Fixes
  • Posting a job to Pnet no longer fails with a request to assign a client when the job already has one
  • Assigning the Placement stage group to a middle pipeline column no longer turns that column into the placement board; Inbox and Placement groups are reserved for those stages, and placement behavior follows the Placement key event
  • Job pipeline funnel now uses stage group colors, shows the stage icon in the tooltip, labels rejections correctly, and counts candidates rejected in a stage even when stage history was missing
  • Job and template pipeline editors show stage groups with color swatches in the row dropdown; key events use the same styled stage picker and metric icons
  • Leaving the job Pipeline stages tab with unsaved edits asks you to go back or discard (save stays on the footer)
  • On a job’s Pipeline stages tab, edits stay as a draft until you save; leaving the tab or the job prompts you to save or discard, like other settings screens
  • Adding or editing a pipeline stage uses the same dialog on the kanban, job Pipeline stages tab, and pipeline templates; color comes from the stage group, and you can set the key event in that dialog
  • Reject candidate respects your Email settings: when rejection emails are off, the dialog no longer defaults to sending, and the server won't send even if a request is tampered with
  • Rejected candidates show in their pipeline stage again (latest active first, then rejections); use the thumbs-up on the rejection banner to restore them as active
  • Pipeline kanban cards show rejection and placement as full-width banners at the top of the card so status is easy to spot at a glance
  • Pipeline toolbar can collapse or expand every stage in one click
  • Dashboard pipeline summary shows stage group colors correctly; empty cells stay muted with no zero, and counts use white text on colored cells
  • Tab switchers across jobs and the pipeline use the same default segmented style: muted track, clear selected pill, and stronger active label
  • Reject candidate opens faster by prefetching the template, using job data when it's already loaded, and loading the rich email editor only when you turn on send email
  • Removed the internal rejection note field from the reject dialog; it wasn't shown anywhere in the product yet (reason still feeds job reports)
  • Stage types is deprecated; use Stage groups for reporting tags and pipeline color
  • Stage groups settings use draggable cards with color themes, locks on Inbox and Placement, and menus to remove custom groups
  • Stage group colors use the same limited swatch palette as pipeline template stages
  • Stage groups are stored separately on the recruiter as versioned JSON (`stage_groups`), independent of deprecated stage types overrides
  • New workspaces get default stage groups on signup; middle groups can be reordered or removed except Inbox and Placement
  • Stage groups settings: inline add flow, sticky save bar with discard, and navigation guard when there are unsaved changes
  • Job board columns take their color from the stage group, and the column menu sets the group and key event
  • Pipeline column menu shows the current stage group and key event and lets you change them from click-to-open submenus
  • Pipeline stage headers show a compact key-event icon (reporting colors) with tooltip between actions and the stage menu
  • Add stage dialog uses stage group colors (swatches in the picker), optional key events, and no separate color field
  • Inbox and Placement stay locked as the start and end of every pipeline
  • Roles can separately control access to Reporting (charts and team performance) and to the targets page
  • Stage types settings now live under Reporting instead of Jobs
  • Pipeline stage moves and rejections use the API; KPI facts are recorded from each stage’s `counts_as` key event (not umbrella stages). Moving one candidate into a CV sent stage opens a dialog to choose documents and optionally email the client contact.
  • Job list, detail, create, edit, delete, and duplicate now enforce role permissions on the server, not only in the UI
  • Contact list, detail, create, edit, delete, and bulk import now enforce role permissions on the server, not only in the UI
  • Client list, detail, create, edit, delete, and import now enforce role permissions on the server, not only in the UI
  • Dashboard My desk KPI cards use a semicircle target gauge with traffic-light progress, scale ticks, a current/target ratio in the header, and a single ahead-or-remaining line
  • My desk KPIs only appear when you have personal targets set; they scroll in a four-across strip with a peek of the next card, edge fade, and chevron controls
  • My desk target gauges show whether you are on pace for the selected period and use pace-based colors instead of completion-only colors
  • Clients list hides search, filters, and the table when your role cannot view clients, with a clear access message while still allowing create when permitted
  • Dashboard and reporting targets load reliably again when switching workspace profile; KPI counts use default split credit until you configure attribution in Settings → Reporting
  • Built-in Owner, Admin, and Team Member roles ship as system defaults (no database rows until you customize); you can reset customized roles, duplicate any role, and delete custom roles when no one is assigned
  • Workspace roles and client permissions live under Members & Teams → Roles & access; role detail opens under that section (old Security links still redirect)
  • Role actions menus in Roles & access use the same icon style as the rest of settings
  • Roles can grant workspace toggles such as creating API keys and managing roles & permissions; Integrations and the roles editor respect those grants (workspace owners always have full access)
  • Workspace admins can choose who has full access to the Reporting targets page; everyone can still see their own target progress on the dashboard
  • Targets can only be set for pipeline key events (CVs sent, interviews, offers, and related KPIs), not general activity columns
  • Security role assignee counts and assigned-user lists now reflect existing workspace members after the RBAC role sync runs
  • Reporting tabs are Team performance and Trends only; set targets via Manage targets (grid at `/reporting/goals`)
  • Target gauges show your own progress for the dates you pick, not the whole team’s combined total
  • Activity table goal badges show how many actions are left to hit the target, with a detailed breakdown and quick link to view those activities on hover
  • Manage targets opens a Spott-style grid instead of separate company, team, and person goal forms
  • Goal cards and the activity table sum personal targets only — no desk quota copied onto every recruiter
  • Target cards use a half-circle gauge with red, orange, and green progress; metrics without a target show the number only
  • CVs sent, speculative CVs, interviews, offers, and placements have their own icons in reporting, split settings, and target cards
  • Target gauges show the current count in the middle of the arc
  • New jobs default to your default pipeline template and copy stage markers and automations when the job is created.
  • You pick a pipeline template when creating a job. After the job exists, the pipeline cannot be changed from job details.
  • The built-in pipeline is labeled Default pipeline; when you have no saved templates, that default is applied automatically and the picker stays locked.
  • Creating a job copies pipeline stages from your template on the server, including KPI stage markers, so every new job starts with the same columns you configured.
  • Adding documents when you create a job opens a short confirmation step so each file is clearly added to the list before you submit.
  • Settings are grouped in the sidebar under Jobs and pipeline, Candidates and data, Communications, and Admin so related options are easier to find.
  • Pipeline templates have their own settings page with a tighter stage list, row actions for edit and delete, and key event pickers that show each stage’s icon and color.
  • The built-in default pipeline opens as a read-only preview instead of the full editor, and Make default uses the same neutral styling as other settings actions.
  • Pipeline template stage actions (emails, team notifications, interviews) save on the template and copy to new jobs when you create them.
  • Job statuses settings use the same card layout as other settings pages, with a clearer Add status action in the header.
  • Split attribution settings moved to Settings under Reporting, with a clear empty state for agencies that have not turned splits on yet.

Version 1.10.4

Improved
  • The clients pipeline loads one stage at a time and adds more companies as you scroll, so large client lists open quickly instead of hanging
Fixes
  • The clients pipeline loads your stage columns again when your workspace profile stores a nested recruiter reference
  • The clients pipeline no longer depends on loading every company inside the recruiter profile, which was blocking stages on larger accounts
  • The clients pipeline no longer fails with an access error after a long wait on workspaces with thousands of companies

September 25, 2026

Version 1.10.3

Improved
  • You can sort boolean search results by column across the full list, the same as on the main candidates page
  • Boolean search is faster on large accounts and shows how many people truly match your query
Fixes
  • Boolean search is more accurate, with fewer irrelevant matches and OR queries that return anyone who matches at least one term
  • Result cards only show excerpts where your keywords appear, and AND searches highlight every term even when they are far apart on a profile

September 24, 2026

Version 1.10.2

New
  • Quick add opens compact dialogs to create clients, contacts, candidates, placements, and jobs without leaving your current screen
  • You can attach documents while creating a job, not only after the job is saved
Improved
  • Clicking a note opens it in a dialog so you can read and edit with a full editor without losing draft text on the page
  • The task edit dialog lets you mark a task complete while you are updating it
  • Candidate search cards show current job title and company when that information is on the profile
  • On a contact profile, the Notes section is now labeled About, and the department field has been removed
  • When you reject a candidate, the rejection email switch is on by default and you choose whether to send; with sending on, you can preview and edit the email beside the dialog before it goes out, without changing the job’s saved template
  • Duplicate candidates found by email or LinkedIn merge more predictably, including extra emails, phone numbers, skills, and when LinkedIn profiles differ
Fixes
  • Stacked document previews on candidate profiles render each page correctly and load more pages reliably
  • Sorting contacts and clients stays correct across pages, including empty values and related columns like client, owner, and industry
  • Opening or editing a contact no longer loads every company in your account at once, which keeps contact forms responsive on large accounts
  • Boolean search AND queries keep every keyword visible in the match snippet, so a result no longer looks like it only matched one term
  • Boolean search card results show the full number of people found, not just how many are on the current page
  • Sorting jobs on a company or contact profile no longer breaks when a job has no type set
  • Searching stages in the client pipeline filter no longer crashes when a stage name is missing
  • Merging duplicate candidates from the merge dialog now carries tags from both profiles onto the one you keep

September 12, 2026

Version 1.10.1

Improved
  • Resume parsing progress only shows for the person who uploaded the files, not everyone in the company
  • Resume upload shows a progress bar for each file, with the same page-by-page list as when you pick the files
  • After a resume parses successfully, the progress panel opens that candidate instead of offering a remove button
  • The resume progress panel starts collapsed, stays on the screen on phones, and uses a clearer View button for each parsed candidate
  • Scanned PDFs and image resumes no longer turn the whole upload into a failure. The panel stays green and lists the files that could not be read
  • Resume parsing is more accurate at picking out names, jobs, and contact details from the file
  • Shift-click a candidate checkbox to select every row between the last clicked one and this one
Fixes
  • Uploaded resumes no longer stay stuck on "Queued for processing" without ever parsing
  • Scanned PDFs and image resumes fail with a clear message instead of hanging, because image text recognition is not supported yet
  • Candidate and contact profile photos now show correctly when you open their sheet, not just in the table

September 8, 2026

Version 1.10.0

New
  • Each job now has a Reports tab with pipeline funnel, time in stage, new candidates over time, sources, and rejection reason breakdown
  • Job reports show a stage funnel with counts and percentages, colorful stage icons, and a rejected-candidates summary
  • Rejecting a candidate opens a rejection dialog with an optional structured reason, note, and control over sending the rejection email
  • Bulk reject from the pipeline also opens the same rejection reason dialog for all selected candidates
  • Rejected candidates stay in their pipeline stage and appear in a collapsible Rejected layer, with the rejection reason on the card
  • Rejection reasons have a dedicated settings page, grouped by who rejected the candidate, with inline rename and remove
Fixes
  • Moving selected pipeline candidates to a stage now opens a dialog to pick the destination, instead of doing nothing from the selection bar
  • Moving a candidate to the stage they are already in no longer runs the move or stage actions
  • Rejected pipeline cards no longer show a hover border
  • Rejected candidates cannot be moved to another stage from the pipeline
Improved
  • Job tabs scroll horizontally on smaller screens so all sections stay reachable without wrapping
  • Rejection reasons appear as their own item in Settings, alongside Job Settings, interviews, tags, and data fields
  • Job pipeline bulk actions use the same bottom selection dock as candidates, with move, reject, and set-active actions
  • Rejection reasons are optional until you add them in Settings; rejections without a reason show as "No reason recorded" in reports
  • Rejection reasons can be reordered, edited explicitly, and removed with a warning when applications already use that reason
  • Rejected candidates appear in a collapsible row below the pipeline, aligned to their stage column, without drag-and-drop
  • Stage moves and rejections are tracked for richer per-job hiring analytics

September 7, 2026

  • Row selection checkboxes now live in the Name column instead of a separate column
  • Candidate table jobs show the job status color next to the title, like elsewhere in the app
  • The candidates table loading state now looks like the table itself

  • Empty candidate table cells stay blank instead of showing a dash
  • You can sort custom field columns on the candidates table
  • Boolean search no longer splits matches with the All Results, Profiles, Notes, and Documents bar
