Changelog

Discord integration

An integration has been added that allows you to notify a channel within your organizations Discord server whenever a new job application is received. The full candidate application is displayed, making it easy to review and discuss.

This can be setup within the Integrations section found in Account Settings. Our setup documentation walks through the entire process.

Hired stage

A "hired" stage has been added to all jobs allowing you to track and record which candidates were hired into roles.

Job board SEO settings

You can now edit your job board's title and description meta tags. These tags are used by search engines, social media sites, and other services when displaying links to your job board.

Overview and messages visibility

We added the ability to set the overview and messages feed of individual candidates to be visible to admins only. This can be set within application settings when editing a candidates profile.

Other improvements

• Application forms now have a single name field to be more inclusive of various formats

Improvements & fixes

• Improved how the Webflow CMS integration handles job category syncing
• Added a button on the hiring team page that enables an admin to quickly "remove all non-admins" from a hiring team
• Added the ability for a user to delete comments and reviews they authored on a candidate's overview page
• The "notes" section has been renamed to "private notes" for increased clarity

Improvements & fixes

• Added fields within candidate profiles to record desired salary and application source
• Fixed an issue where applications could potentially be submitted without values in required fields

Candidate activity feed

Previously, each candidate had a view that displayed their answers to any custom questions that had been added to the application form. With this update, this view has been built out to become a full feed of all actions regarding a candidate. The candidate activity is displayed as a timeline that starts with their initial application and lists other, subsequent events that have taken place. This view provides a high level view of the overall candidate experience and helps facilitate coordination within the hiring team.

Team comments

Hiring team members have the ability to add comments to the candidate activity feed to document events, provide insight, share thoughts, and other purposes. Comments that are posted to a candidate’s activity feed are visible by the entire hiring team. Additionally, we added a C keyboard shortcut for opening the comment modal from anywhere within a candidate profile.

Candidate reviews

Reviews can be posted to a candidates activity feed. Reviews, while similar to comments, include the additional ability to provide a final score for the candidate. Additionally, when conducting a candidate review, a full-screen view is provided to enable the user to focus on the task, easily view candidate information, format the document using our full text-editor, and save in-progress drafts.

Review templates

Templates have been added to enable hiring team admins to encourage structured feedback when team members conduct a candidate review. They are general purpose and can be used to create a library of review instructions, question sets, feedback prompts, and other content. When a team member conducts a candidate review, they have the ability to import templates into their feedback document. When imported, the templated content is inserted into their review and available for additional editing.

Private notes

There is now a notes page within each candidate profile where a user can record private notes that will not be shared with the hiring team.

Other improvements & fixes

• Adjustments of dark mode colors to reduce contrast
• Text within resumes is now selectable
• Labels have been added to differentiate candidates who applied vs those who were manually added
• The shared hiring document has been moved to the candidate overview section
• Added an H keyboard shortcut for editing the shared hiring document

Dark mode

Wrk now has a full dark theme in addition to the pre-existing light variant. By default, the active theme in Wrk will be synced with your browser settings. You can specify a theme from the preferences page within account settings to override the default syncing behavior.

Other fixes

• Fixed an issue where application questions could appear out of order for a candidate within a cloned job
• Fixed an issue where the ordering of hiring stages could not be changed within a cloned job

Improvements & fixes

• Improved the styling of navigation links
• Added some minimal light and dark styling based off a users current system settings
• Added the ability to view an original incoming email from the in-app candidate message feed
• Fixed an issue where dismissing a modal could interfere with navigation

Improvements & fixes

• Improved performance of the "dismiss all" and "mark all as read" functionality on the notifications page
• Invited organization members are no longer required to create an account directly from the email invitation to be added within the organization

Small screen support

We greatly improved how Wrk displays on mobile devices and small screens.

Move candidate

You can now move a candidate from one job to another. When a candidate is moved, the application is completely removed from the current job and added to the destination job. Previously a candidate could only be cloned into a different job, preserving the original application.

Other improvements & fixes

• Improved performance of the notifications page
• Added an F keyboard shortcut for opening candidate search
• Added the ability to drag-and-drop a resume to upload it when one doesn't exist within a candidate profile

Additional candidate links

We have added support for additional, default fields for easily collecting common URLs on job applications. The options now include: Linkedin, GitHub, Dribbble, Twitter, and personal website.

Other improvements

• We've redesigned the add/edit candidate form to handle additional fields

Job board custom domains

By default, all Wrk job boards live at jobs.wrk.xyz. However, if you have another domain you would like to use, you can now configure your job board to be displayed there as well. This allows you to treat your Wrk job board as an extension of your website. View the setup guide to get started.

Improvements & fixes

• Added visual affordances to links that open in a new tab
• Changed references of "company" to "organization"
• Job board settings have been spereated into multiple categories for better organization
• Increased the size of the logo on job boards
• Organization-specific job board favicons are now generated when a logo is uploaded

Job board subscriptions

Prospective candidates and other visitors can now subscribe to individual job boards. When an organization publishes a job, an email is automatically sent to all their subscribers, notifying them about the new job opening.

Candidate source

You can now add a 'source' url parameter to links when sharing a job post to track where candidates are sourced from. Any candidate who applied from that link will have an additional source value visible in their profile. Additionally, when you export all candidates for a job, source will be included.

For example, https://jobs.polymer.co/aperturelabs/15394?source=linkedin would record 'linkedin' as being the candidate source.

Other improvements

• Added a loading indicator that displays when a job application form is being submitted, processed, and uploaded

Job board banner

You can now add an optional, large image or video to be displayed as a banner at the top of your job board. This can be configured from the Job Board page within Account Settings.

Other improvements

• Improved how conditional form fields are displayed within settings forms

New job board layout

Job boards have an all new look and feel. This new layout provides a foundation for several new and upcoming job board features.

Job board title and intro

You can now add additional content to be displayed at the top of your job board. This includes a page title and a short, 280-character intro. This allows you to set the tone of your job board in a way that matches your organization. The job board title and intro can be set from the Job Board page within Account Settings.

Job board filters

New controls have been added to job boards that allow prospective candidates to filter the list of jobs by location, category, and type.

Job location map

If a job has a physical location associated with it, you can now add a map to the job post. This can be added from the Job Details section within Job Setup.

Other improvements & fixes

• Improved how jobs are synced with Webflow
• Fixed an issue where multiple Account Settings pages could be opened at once

Improvements & fixes

• Various updates that improve load times and overall application performance
• Improved support for inserting iframe content in the text editor
• Email addresses are no longer required when manually adding a candidate to a job

Revamped text editor

We've completely rebuilt the editor used in Wrk. This new editor no longer displays markdown syntax, enabling the text to be shown as a live preview of what the output will look like. Additionally, by reducing the dependency on markdown, the editor is now much more approachable and user-friendly.

Other improvements & fixes

• Enabled OpenType font features to improve text rendering
• Removed the email requirement when manually adding a candidate to a job
• Updated role permissions to allow users with the member role to customize the hiring stages for jobs they are assigned to
• Extended the free trial period to 14-days

Developer API

You can now use the Wrk API to access a list of jobs for an organization and to view the details of a specific Job. These API endpoints are currently not authenticated but are rate limited. Learn more at our API documentation site.

Candidate export

You can now export a CSV of the candidate information for a job. To do this, click the three dot, overflow menu in the top-right when viewing a job. Then, select 'export candidates' from the dropdown menu. A notification will display that contains a link to download the generated CSV.
