Product updates
The 14 updates to Applystead that went live for every member on .
We now check every day how accurately each part of your Mailbox is sorted, and we are alerted when it slips. Replies are matched to your applications more carefully, and your Interviews tab does less work each time it opens.
An email too large for us to accept used to stop before it reached you. Now its text arrives, with a note naming any attachments that were too big to keep, so you can ask the sender for them.
More open roles now come in from employers' own career sites. Roles an employer has taken down leave your queue sooner, so less time goes to postings that are already closed. More listings also show when they were really posted, so the posted-date filter matches what employers state.
If you follow companies and saved where you want to work, your weekly job email now counts their new jobs only when they fit your locations, your remote setting and your excluded companies, so you no longer hear about on-site jobs far from you. Job titles never hide a company you follow.
Unread counts in your Mailbox now count conversations, the same way your Inbox list does, and the Updates badge counts only the updates that ask you to do something. Choosing where a conversation goes is clearer too: each choice is its own button.
Applications through one more job site, and on one more kind of employer application form, now go all the way through for you. Some applications that were waiting for either are being tried again.
When an application meets a security check or needs an account on a job site, Applystead now completes those steps for you more smoothly, so more of your applications go through without delay.
We now read more of the places where employers list open roles, including sites we could not read before, so more postings reach your queue. Finding roles is also running at full speed again after a temporary slowdown earlier today.
Applystead now completes more kinds of employer application forms for you, including forms that ask extra questions about your work history and contact details, and more jobs found on job boards are now applied to through the employer's own application.
Roles that employers still list on their own career sites now stay in our job catalog, so more of them can appear in your queue.
Employer emails asking when you're free, when you can meet or talk, or when you'd like to schedule or reschedule your interview are now recognized as interview requests in more of the ways they're worded.
On a busy day, your first five reply emails arrive as replies come in; the rest come together in one email at 5 PM Pacific, and replies after that wait for the next day's. Interview invitations and requests for your availability still arrive right away. Every reply is always in your Mailbox; if you turned off emails about employer replies, no summary is sent.
Emails that only thank you for applying and describe an employer's interview process are now far less often taken for interview invitations, so fewer of them email you as if an employer had replied.
When a job board points to an employer's own application form, we now recognize postings the employer has kept open for many months, so more listings lead to the employer's own posting.
