1. AI-Assisted Interview Feedback Insights
You can now generate comprehensive insights from the candidate’s interview feedback using generative AI capabilities.
The AI-generated insights are derived from feedback received from multiple interviewers. They incorporate the candidate’s ratings, individual remarks for skill and competency, notes, overall comments, and final recommendations. Recruiters and hiring managers can generate, view, and regenerate interview feedback insights at different stages of the candidate’s interview as new data becomes available.
The AI-assisted Interview Feedback Insights feature provides:
- Efficiency: Saves time by offering a quick summary, reducing the need to review multiple individual feedback entries.
- Decision-making: Helps recruiters and hiring managers make more informed decisions by highlighting key insights from the feedback.
- Consistency: Ensures that all aspects of a candidate’s interview feedback are consolidated and uniformly presented.

2. Drag and Drop Functionality in the Applicant Management Tool
Drag & drop functionality in the redesigned Applicant Management tool allows recruiters to move candidates across the recruiting pipeline efficiently while ensuring permissions and business rules are adhered to.
The drag and drop functionality supports the following features:
- Single applicant movement.
- Multiple applicant movement (Bulk Action): If all applicants are in the same initial status, they are moved successfully with the required action or eligibility checks as for a single applicant. If applicants are in different statuses, the system handles partial success, requiring user actions for eligibility checks.
- Permission check and eligibility: The system checks permissions for each move action to ensure the recruiting user is authorized to perform the move. Eligibility checks are performed to ensure applicants can be moved to the desired status.
- User feedback and error handling: If a user lacks permission or if there are eligibility issues, the system provides feedback explaining why the action cannot be completed. Dependencies on intermediate statuses are clearly communicated to the user.
This enhancement improves user experience by reintroducing a familiar interaction pattern from the legacy system, ensuring efficient candidate management while adhering to permissions and business rules.
