March 2026 Product Updates

From clearer onboarding tracking to improved application flows and automated screening, we're focused on removing friction and admin work so you can focus on building your winning team.

“Onboarding Pending” Label

The updated Onboarding Pending label makes it instantly clear on your Team page which employees haven’t been assigned onboarding yet. You can also Filter the Team page by Status to see everyone who needs onboarding assigned or click on the Onboarding Pending tile at the top of the Team page to automatically filter by those employees. No more hunting through your Team directory wondering who you missed or accidentally skipped!

Autopilot (automated interview scheduling) Defaults to Primary Calendar

When you connect a new calendar to Autopilot (automated interview scheduling), it now defaults to your primary calendar instead of pulling in every shared calendar that you have access to in your account. This means clearer availability and fewer accidental double-bookings. You can still add other shared calendars if you want but now it doesn’t start out as the default!

Labs: One-Way Audio Interview Automation

Screen candidates faster with less work. Once you’ve set up the One-Way Audio interview step in your hiring process and enabled automation you can thumbs-up a candidate and the interview invite automatically gets sent to them. You’ll get notified when they complete their recording so you can review responses when it works for you and move top candidates forward quickly. Set it up once, thumbs-up candidates, and review their audio interviews on your time!

Updated “Apply with Indeed” Button

Same easy experience for applicants, now with improved technology. We’ve made a few behind-the-scenes updates for the Apply with Indeed button that displays on Careers Pages to make sure applicants keep flowing smoothly to your CareerPlug account. Applicants can still use their Indeed profile to apply when they click the button and their applications go straight to your CareerPlug account for you to review.
