Your custom domain now verifies its DNS configuration before going live, so candidates always land on a working link.

What's New

• DNS configuration guide right in the Domains settings. You'll see the exact CNAME and TXT records to add, with copy-to-clipboard values.

• Domain verification status shows whether your custom domain is correctly configured. If DNS isn't set up yet, application and career page links fall back to the default app.hirevire.com domain.

• Inline warning on the job's share link if your custom domain isn't verified yet, so you know

  

Where

My Account → Domains

How It Works

1. Add your custom domain (e.g., careers.yourcompany.com) in Domains settings.

2. Copy the DNS records shown on screen and add them to your DNS provider. You'll need a CNAME record and a TXT record for verification.

3. Wait for propagation. DNS changes and SSL certificate generation may take a few minutes.

4. Check the status badge. Once verified, your application and career page links will automatically use your custom domain.

Notes

• Until DNS is verified, all links default to app.hirevire.com. Candidates won't hit a broken page.

• Domain propagation and SSL certificate generation may take a few minutes after adding DNS records.

Reviewing a candidate's video response no longer means staying glued to one spot on the page.

When you scroll past a video while it's playing, it automatically pops into a Picture-in-Picture window so you can keep watching while you read through the rest of the submission, text answers, uploaded resume, and all.

How it works:

1. Open any candidate submission and play a video response.

2. Scroll down to review other answers.

3. The video floats into a small Picture-in-Picture player automatically, no extra clicks needed.

4. When you scroll back up, it snaps back into place.

You now have more control over what your team members can do in Hirevire.

What's New

Previously, team members could only be given access to All jobs or Specific jobs. Now, you can assign two new roles when inviting or managing team members:

• Admin: Access to all present and future jobs, plus the ability to manage career page, custom domains, integrations, and invite other team members.

• Billing Admin: Everything an Admin can do, plus access to billing and subscription settings.

The existing access levels (All jobs and Specific jobs only) continue to work as before for team members who just need job-level access.

Where

Account Settings → Team Members → Invite team member

Notes

• Available on Professional and Agency plans.

• Existing team members retain their current access. You can update their role at any time.

Previously, the response view only showed fields that were currently being collected on the job. If you removed or changed a field after candidates had already submitted, their responses for that field would disappear from view.

Now, all collected fields are displayed on each response, regardless of whether the field is still active on the job.

Search across everything, not just names.

Until now, search only matched candidate names and email addresses. Deep Search changes that completely. You can now find candidates using plain English queries across all your jobs, searching through video response transcripts, resume content, uploaded files, notes, and application responses.

How It Works

1. Enable Deep Search in My Account → Deep Search. Toggle it on and it activates instantly.

2. Search from your dashboard. Type any query in the search bar. Try things like "QuickBooks experience", "5+ years in outbound sales", or "candidates who mentioned remote work".

3. Review results across all jobs. Each result shows the candidate name, where the match was found (transcripts, notes, resume, etc.), and a match percentage so you can quickly prioritize.

What gets searched

• Video response transcripts

• Resume content

• Multi-format application responses

• Notes added by your team

• Uploaded files

Notes

• Deep Search is available on the Agency plan.

• Enable it from My Account → Deep Search.

When sharing a candidate's application via a no-login link, you can now choose whether to include follow-up question responses.

Toggle "Include followup questions" in the Share Application dialog to control what reviewers see. Useful when you want external stakeholders to focus only on the original screening responses.

Stop staring at a blank question list. You can now generate tailored interview questions with one click using AI.

What's New

• AI-generated questions for any role. Once you've set a job title, click "Add Using AI" to instantly generate relevant screening questions. AI uses your job details and company context to suggest questions that actually make sense for the role.

• Works for both question types. Generate Standard Response questions (text, email, links, dates, multiple choice) and Media Response questions (video, audio, screen recording, file uploads, rich text) separately, so you get the right format for each question.

How It Works

1. Enter your job title in the job editor

2. Click "Add Using AI" next to either Standard Responses or Media Responses

3. Review the generated questions. Edit, reorder, remove, or add more as needed.

Each generated question comes with a suggested response type and duration, so you can start collecting applications right away.

Notes

• You need a job title set before AI generation is available.

• Generated questions are fully editable. Treat them as a starting point, not a final draft.

You asked, we built it. One of our most-requested features is now live — you can now send follow-up questions directly to individual candidates after reviewing their initial submission.

The problem it solves

Sometimes a candidate's answer sparks a new question. Maybe they mentioned an interesting project you want to dig into, or skipped a question you really needed answered. Now you can go deeper — without scheduling a call.

From any candidate's application, simply click "Ask Follow-up Questions" and send them a new set of questions via email. Candidates respond asynchronously, just like the original interview.

How it works

1. Review a candidate's responses in their application panel

2. Click "Ask Follow-up Questions" at the bottom of their response view
   

   

3. Compose your follow-up — add an optional intro video (record or upload), write a message, and add one or more questions

   

4. Set response type and duration — video, text, or other formats with configurable time limits

5. Hit Send — the candidate receives a branded email with a link to respond

You can also customize the follow-up email template (sender, reply-to, subject, CC) from your job's Emails / SMS settings.

Why this matters

• Go deeper on promising candidates — clarify vague answers or explore interesting threads without burning calendar time on a live call

• Keep hiring fully async — your whole team stays aligned without needing to sync schedules

• Reduce mis-hires — gather the exact information you need before making a shortlisting or offer decision

• Better candidate experience — candidates respond on their own time, reducing pressure and improving response quality
