June 12, 2026 Release

Highlights​

This release expands language and communication assessment, improves candidate visibility in recruiter workflows, and adds more flexible AI Interview access.

New Features​

CEFR Stage​

Who it's for:
Teams hiring for roles where English communication proficiency needs to be assessed in a structured way.

What's new:
You can now add a CEFR stage to Assessments and Contests. The stage evaluates candidates across reading, writing, speaking, listening, vocabulary, and grammar, with question difficulty aligned to the configured CEFR level.

Why it matters:
This gives hiring teams a standardized way to validate English communication ability before moving candidates into later evaluation or interview stages.

AI Evaluation and Transcript for Video Response​

Who it's for:
Teams using Video Response to evaluate communication, intent, and presentation skills.

What's new:
Video Response now supports AI-generated scoring and transcript generation. Recruiters can review an overall AI score, score breakdown, strengths, areas for improvement, speech indicators, and a written transcript of the response.

Why it matters:
This reduces manual review effort and makes it faster to compare candidates across asynchronous response rounds.

Self-Serve AI Interview for Candidates​

Who it's for:
Candidates who want to take an AI Interview independently.

What's new:
Candidates can now purchase credits for themselves and take their own AI Interview without being invited through a hiring workflow.

Why it matters:
This opens up AI Interview access beyond recruiter-led flows and makes the feature available for direct candidate use.

Improvements​

  • Dashboard and leaderboard views now display the candidate's profile picture.
  • Candidates can now verify their LinkedIn account, and the verified LinkedIn profile is visible on the dashboard and leaderboard.
  • The AI Interview evaluate page has been updated with a new layout to improve the reviewer experience while watching and evaluating candidate responses.

What You Should Know​

  • CEFR is available as a stage type in the assessment flow.
  • Video Response AI evaluation complements manual review and transcript-based review.
  • Self-serve AI Interview requires the candidate to purchase credits before starting the interview.
