<h2 data-start="283" data-end="302">Introduction</h2>
<p>In this release, we’ve focused on making core recruitment operations more reliable, flexible, and easier to manage at scale. From enabling resume parsing directly through APIs without overwriting existing data, to ensuring interview communications are sent seamlessly via system email accounts, and simplifying how duplicate profiles are unified, these updates remove friction from everyday workflows. The result is smoother automation, cleaner data, and greater control for recruiting teams.</p>
<h3 data-start="148" data-end="219"><strong>1. Candidate Management Enhancement – Merge Profiles from Anywhere</strong></h3>
<p data-start="221" data-end="465">We’ve made candidate deduplication faster and more accessible. The <strong data-start="288" data-end="307">Merge Candidate</strong> capability is now available directly inside the candidate dialog under <strong data-start="379" data-end="395">More Actions</strong>, allowing users to merge any profile in the system whenever required.</p>
<p data-start="467" data-end="786">Recruiters can search the target profile using <strong data-start="514" data-end="546">Candidate ID, Name, or Email</strong>, select the correct record, and complete the merge with guided confirmation steps. This ensures cleaner databases, eliminates duplicates quickly, and gives teams full control over profile consolidation without depending on backend support.</p>

<h3 data-start="64" data-end="127"><strong data-start="68" data-end="127">2. Interview Scheduling – Support for System Email Sending</strong></h3>
<p data-start="129" data-end="283">We’ve improved interview communication for teams that operate using a shared or generic company mailbox instead of individual recruiter email connections.</p>
<p data-start="285" data-end="648">Now, even if a recruiter’s personal email is not connected, interview invitations and related notifications will still be successfully sent using the system email configuration. This ensures seamless coordination with candidates and hiring teams, prevents missed communications, and keeps the interview process running without dependency on personal inbox setups.</p>

<h3 data-start="62" data-end="106"><strong data-start="66" data-end="106">3. Resume Parsing Now Available in APIs</strong></h3>
<p data-start="108" data-end="333">We’ve extended our resume parsing capability to the API layer. The <strong data-start="175" data-end="197">Save Candidate API</strong> now automatically extracts structured information from uploaded resumes, just like the parsing experience available in the application.</p>
<p data-start="335" data-end="582">To ensure data integrity, the parsed information will <strong data-start="389" data-end="406">not overwrite</strong> details already provided by the candidate or entered by the user. Instead, the system intelligently preserves existing values while enriching missing fields wherever possible.</p>
<p data-start="584" data-end="787"><strong data-start="584" data-end="605">Why this matters:</strong><br data-start="605" data-end="608">This enhancement enables seamless integrations, reduces manual data entry, improves profile completeness, and maintains accuracy without risking loss of user-supplied information.</p>
<h2 data-start="481" data-end="496">Conclusion</h2>
<p data-start="497" data-end="814">With these improvements, we continue to evolve the platform into a more intelligent partner for your hiring journey.
