What shipped

New

  • Branded-layout picker for Enterprise. Enterprise companies can now choose their premium layout right on the company profile page; other tiers see what they're missing with a direct path to upgrade.

Improved

  • Faster back navigation. Job and candidate search results are restored when a visitor returns from a detail page, while a new search still fetches current results.
  • Faster repeat visits. Public endpoints use HTTP caching, form dropdown options are cached locally for a day, and landing pages stopped recomputing filters on every pagination step.
  • Lighter pages for everyone else. Premium branded layouts are now lazy-loaded, so regular company pages don't carry their weight.

Fixed

  • Chat email delivery. A recruiter's chat message now sends an email notification to the candidate, and vice versa, without exposing either email address in the browser.
  • CV access after contact revocation. When a candidate revokes contact sharing, previously shared CV files are removed from the conversation.
  • Chat access checks were tightened to be strictly company-scoped.
  • The trial pill and banner show your effective tier — an Enterprise-granted company no longer sees "Starter".
  • Editing a published vacancy updates search results immediately instead of after a cache delay.
  • Candidate-search counts now match the visible results — no more "9 found" with 7 cards.
  • Account deletion is now fully durable — a partial failure can no longer leave an orphaned, login-capable account.

Under the hood

  • Code-review fixes. A codebase review covering background work, privacy controls, and performance produced many of the fixes listed above.
  • Safety rails on platform configuration: admin config changes are now validated against the expected value type before they apply.
  • Paid-promotion durations are range-guarded so a single bad value can't expire every active promotion platform-wide.
  • Candidate filter materialized views were aligned with the live search predicate.
