Product updates
The 16 updates to Applystead that went live for every member on .
When you drop your résumé, the job count now says where it counted, like your city or remote, and keeps that place when you remove or change a role. Start applying shows when it's working, every error now leaves you a next step, and the job and pay match form fits phones better.
Premium members in the US now get their own phone number for recruiters, shown on new applications. An assistant answers recruiter calls for you, notes the role, pay range and good times to talk, and you get the transcript. You can have calls ring your phone first or go to voicemail, and your calls and recruiters' texts are in your Mailbox under Calls & texts.
One of our data services now reports its health from its own work loop instead of waiting on a slow database read, so a busy database can no longer hold up releasing improvements. A warning now reaches us when that service's data is stale. We also started measuring page-load details, so the plan page's speed can be improved from evidence.
Compare plans now opens when you tap it, so the plan page is much shorter on a phone. Once you scroll past Start my free trial, the same button stays at the bottom of your screen until you tap it, and the plan you picked is easier to see at Checkout.
Type a job title or drop your résumé and see how many open jobs match, what those listings pay, and how that compares with what you make now. On a phone you can start with just a job title, and on every page one button starts applying with your résumé already read.
A search that names a city now fills your queue from that city's state and from remote roles, never from another part of the country. Auto also keeps to the places you limited it to.
Optional cover letters have their own switch, on by default. With it on, an optional letter is sent only when it cites at least two of the job's requirements from your own experience; otherwise the box is left empty and the application still goes.
Deleting or archiving a conversation now takes its open draft with it, a thank-you draft you delete is not written again, and a reply draft you delete no longer leaves its reply card waiting. Nothing you removed comes back.
We keep the passwords for the accounts we create on employers' career sites, so you never need to sign in there. Each application's status is here in Applications.
Every application row and every application now has a star. Star the ones you care about and the Favorites chip shows just those, and a starred job's title ranks higher the next time we match it.
When a video-call provider emails you about an interview, that email now joins the right interview instead of another application. If an email was never an interview, tapping "This isn't an interview" puts it back.
When two free trials run at once, Membership, Account and the sidebar name one plan and its date, with the other offered only as the way to keep it. Your card on file shows even when you saved it in the billing portal, and cancelling right after a trial turns paid says your first payment went through.
Change your experience, work authorization or answers and your queue stays where it is: the jobs you were looking at, and the card you had open, are still there. Your queue is read again only when the change moves it.
When Confirm cannot go through, the reason now appears right under the button and the button takes you to the field it names, instead of doing nothing.
A suggested email is now addressed only to a hiring manager or recruiter the posting itself names, the most likely person first, instead of whoever we found first.
We removed wasted compute, duplicate log storage and unbounded image storage from our servers. Nothing you see changes: your queue, your applications and onboarding work exactly as before.
