Candidate Resume Profile Polish: Contact Notes

• Contact notes label – The label for Contact Notes “View Contact Notes” has been updated to “Contact Notes”.

Indeed Integration Setting

Starting August 11, 2025, Indeed no longer includes ethnicity and disability information in the Indeed Resume data sent to ATSs for applicants who apply via Easy Apply or Indeed Apply. This change is being made by Indeed and is not controlled by Rival. To inform clients, we posted (Aug. 6) an in-app notification about the upcoming change and have added the following bullet points to the “Manage Indeed Integrations” settings page.

• For Clients: If capturing this information from all applicants is a compliance or reporting requirement for your organization, and you currently have one or both of these options enabled on your CX career site(s), you may want to review whether Easy Apply and Indeed Apply remain suitable options for your job postings. You can easily disable these options at any time using the Indeed Integrations self-service setting in your CX Admin portal.

Enhanced Security with Career Site Passkeys 

We’re introducing Passkey authentication for the “My Account” feature on career sites to provide stronger security beyond email verification. Passkeys use advanced cryptographic technology stored on users’ devices, making them resistant to phishing and credential theft. This upgrade will protect sensitive candidate actions like viewing application history, withdrawing applications, and GDPR data requests, ensuring only verified account owners can access and manage their information.

Generative AI Bulk Outreach (ETA late Q3)

Recruiters will soon be able to streamline their workflow by identifying, importing, and engaging candidates in one continuous experience. Recruit will enhance passive candidate search and bulk import by adding an automated outreach layer. As part of the bulk import of passive candidates from embedded search, users can opt to generate personalized AI emails immediately upon import of the profile into Recruit. Emails are automatically prepared for review, with options to preview, edit, delete, or send individually—or return to the job card and click SEND ALL to send the full batch at once.

Job Posting Details page redesign (ETA late Q3)

The Job Posting Details page is getting a major makeover with a fresh, modern design that makes job information much easier to work with. Key details like application metrics, hiring team info, and job status appear right up front in a clean dashboard layout, plus everything else is organized into logical groups that can be expanded when needed. The new design also includes helpful visual insights like recruitment funnels and top applicant sources, so hiring decisions can be made faster with better information. Phase 1 delivers improved viewing experience; Phase 2 will roll out inline editing so users can update all job-related information directly on the page.
