The 6 updates to Applystead that went live for every member on .

Behind the scenes: finding your matching jobs during setup

While you set up, the work that finds every job matching your search now repeats fewer of its checks and has more computing power set aside for it. Editing parts of your profile that don't change which jobs match, such as your links, no longer starts that work over. Which jobs match you, and how many, stay exactly the same.

Behind the scenes: domain setup

Setting up a personal domain is a little clearer: an address at a personal inbox such as Gmail is now refused when you connect it, so you are told right away instead of starting a setup that cannot finish. Your applying address, your applications and the replies you receive work exactly as before.

Applystead can take employer quizzes for you

When an employer emails you a quiz after you apply, Applystead can take it for you if it comes from a service we support: personality quizzes, reasoning and skills tests, and coding exercises. It's off until you turn it on, from the note you'll see when you next sign in or in Applications › Your answers. Quizzes we can't take, or that need a call, video, camera or microphone, stay in your Inbox.

Behind the scenes: applications most likely to get a reply go first

We retuned the order in which your waiting applications are prepared and sent, using what we have learned about which applications get replies from a person, so the jobs where you are most likely to hear back go first.

Your Queue fills with your best full matches soon after setup

When you finish setting up, your Queue now fills with your best full matches within minutes, instead of showing a few at first and adding the rest over the following hours.

Job rows light up evenly

On a computer, pointing at a job in your queue now highlights the whole row evenly, and a job whose only button is its menu no longer leaves part of its match badge peeking out beside it.
