New Releases - September 2026

Written by Crismin Joy Lagamayo

This release rounds out the month with a fully customisable candidate experience, a native Contract Hub for signing, and a stronger question toolkit, alongside faster candidate search and a set of smaller improvements across the product. New Releases below covers the new Candidate Experience Editor, Contract Hub for building and collecting signed contracts, CSV-based candidate filtering, three new question types (Multi Select, Date, and E-Signature), unread indicators for candidates, a redesigned notification centre, clearer bot reply status, and conditional logic for screening questions. New Updates rounds up improvements made to existing features this month, including candidate appointment history, message drafts that follow you across channels, Clara's ad hoc reporting, a self-service company logo, plain-language search and a refreshed Search + Filter Bar, built-in QR code generation for landing page links, and a new option to disable interview rescheduling on Booking questions.


New Releases

Get Notified the Moment It Matters

Recruiters now get a clearer, faster read on their pipeline: a green unread dot appears on a candidate's photo the moment they reply, a redesigned notification centre splits updates into All, Messages, and Unread with one-click mark-as-read, and a status strip on each conversation states plainly whether the bot or you is replying, with a button to pause or resume. Opening a notification now slides the candidate's full profile in beside the list instead of pulling you off the page, and the bot's automatic handback window has been shortened from 3 days to 12 hours after your last message.

Conditional Logic for Screening Questions

Conditional Logic lets you show or hide a question — or an entire question set — based on how a candidate answered an earlier question, so your screening flow adapts as candidates move through it instead of asking everyone every question. Rules can check whether an earlier answer equals, doesn't equal, or was simply given, and multiple conditions can be combined with Match All or Match Any logic. It works everywhere candidates answer questions — the new career pages, the classic landing page, and every chatbot and voice channel — keeping auto-shortlist and auto-reject fair since candidates are only judged on what they were actually asked.

Find Candidates Faster with CSV Filtering

A new CSV Filter lets you narrow your candidate list down to a specific set of people without searching for them one at a time — upload a CSV of application codes or emails from the Filters menu, and Talkpush matches the values against your existing candidates. The filter reads only the first column, skips a header row automatically, and doesn't mix application ID and email formats within the same file, so results stay predictable even with messy exports.

Multi Select Questions

A new Multi Select question type lets candidates tick more than one option instead of being limited to a single choice — a good fit whenever an answer isn't a single fact, like which shifts a candidate can work or which certifications they hold. It's available everywhere questions live, from career pages to chat and voice, supports Data Map so combined selections flow straight into a candidate attribute, and can drive conditional logic using the Includes / Does not include operators.

Date Questions

A new Date question type collects a calendar date from a candidate — a start date, birth date, or certification expiry, for example — while letting you choose the format candidates see and type in. Every answer is stored consistently behind the scenes regardless of display format, so exports and integrations always receive the same standard date, and built-in validation blocks incomplete or impossible entries before a candidate can continue.

E-Signature Questions

A new E-Signature question type lets candidates sign the way they would in any e-signature tool — drawing, typing, or uploading an image of their signature — with each signature saved alongside an audit trail and a downloadable certificate. It works across the careers page, landing page, and chat channels via a secure signing link, and files the signed certificate under the candidate's Documents so it's picked up by integrations like DocuSign.

Candidate Experience Editor

Company owners can now customise and preview the entire candidate journey — from the job listing page through the AI interview to the final thank-you screen — in one place, with every screen shown as a live, editable preview of the real page instead of a mock-up. Branding like the company colour, banner images, and screen-by-screen copy can all be adjusted and reviewed before anything goes live, alongside settings such as the AI Interview Setup checklist and interviewer animation, with every saved change tracked in a company-wide activity log. Owners can also switch their live careers pages between the Classic and New experience directly from Company Settings. Read the full article →


Contract Hub: Contracts, Signing, and Filing — Built Into the CRM

Contract Hub is a native part of the Talkpush CRM that replaces the standalone e-signature product for companies that turn it on — a recruiter builds a contract, chooses who signs it, and sets which campaigns and folders trigger it, and publishing the contract is what sends it: any candidate who reaches a matching campaign and folder is issued the contract and message automatically, with reminders for unsigned documents and a full IP-stamped audit trail. Progress is tracked from a dedicated Signing page or the candidate's own profile, and once every signer has signed, the finished PDF is filed under the candidate's Documents. The same candidate attributes and autoflow triggers used by the legacy e-signature app keep working after the switch, and NOM-151 sealing is available for companies hiring in Mexico.

New Updates

The Candidate Profile: Appointment History

The Candidate Profile gained a new Appointment History section: instead of overwriting an appointment a candidate reschedules or cancels, Talkpush now keeps a record of it, showing the total number of reschedules and listing each past appointment with whether it was moved or cancelled and whether it came from a Recruitment Center or recruiter-calendar booking. Read the full article →


What are Candidate Attributes?: Two New Automatic Attributes

Two new default candidate attributes are now documented: Appointment Status (No appointment, Upcoming, Attended, Cancelled, or No outcome recorded) and Number of Times Rescheduled — both calculated automatically from a candidate's appointment history rather than editable by hand, and both available as Autoflow criteria and export columns.

Chat and Share Files with Your Candidates: Drafts Follow You Across Channels

A message draft now follows you when you switch channels mid-compose — moving from Email to SMS, WhatsApp, or any other channel (or back) keeps the text you've already typed, in the candidate profile chat, the Leads List view, and Bulk Action alike. A selected template, applied formatting, or an attached file stays behind since these are often channel-specific, and the email subject line is unaffected by the switch. Read the full article →


Booking Question Type: Disable Reschedule Option

The Booking Question Type now offers an optional Disable Reschedule setting: once turned on, candidates no longer see the Reschedule option after booking an interview, which helps prevent incomplete or abandoned rebookings. The setting is off by default and is enabled on request by the Talkpush Product Support team. Read the full article →


Meet Clara: Ad Hoc Reporting

Clara can now answer ad hoc reporting questions directly — asked for a straight number like total emails sent this week, she pulls it straight from your account data instead of pointing you to a dashboard you'd have to build yourself, as shown in a new example added to the "See Clara in action" walkthrough. Read the full article →


How to Use the Search + Filter Bar: Searchable, Categorized Filters

The Add Filter dropdown now includes a search box and groups every filter under a category heading, so a long filter list is easier to scan. The filter list also gained the new CSV Filter, letting you match candidates against a list of emails or application IDs uploaded as a file. Read the full article →


How to Use the Search + Filter Bar: Search Using Plain Language

Instead of adding filters one at a time, you can now describe what you're looking for directly in the search bar in plain language — typing something like "candidates with an assigned recruiter" builds the matching filter chip automatically and runs the search, which you can review and edit before continuing. It understands folders, campaigns, assigned manager, source, labels, dates (including relative ones like "yesterday"), reject and shortlist reasons, completion method, attachments, document tags, and configured custom attributes, though location searches still need the manual Geolocation filter. Plain-language search is enabled per company and limited to 20 searches per minute — contact your Account Manager if you don't see it yet. Read the full article →


Export Candidates: Recently Used Column Selections

Setting up an export now offers Recently Used, showing your last three column selections — labeled by column count and names — so a common export can be reapplied in one click instead of rebuilding it from scratch. A selection only saves once you actually export or schedule, and any column deleted since then is dropped automatically. Read the full article →


Company Settings: Self-Service Company Logo

Company owners can now change their company logo directly from Company Settings instead of waiting on Talkpush support — a dropzone shows the current logo with Change and Remove options (2 MB file limit), the replacement appears immediately after saving, and it stays in sync with the same field on the super-admin company form. Read the full article →


QR Codes: A Built-In Generator for Landing Page Links

You no longer need an external QR code generator for landing pages — Talkpush now creates a ready-to-print code directly from a campaign's Sourcing tab for any landing page link, including custom source URLs. Click the QR code icon next to Copy to open the code, then download a print-ready PDF or print it straight away; the printed sheet carries your company logo, a short call to action, and the job title. The code keeps working even if you switch a campaign between the classic and new candidate experience, and stops only if the custom source itself is deleted. Read the full article →


Customizable Landing Pages: Generate a QR Code for Landing Page Links

Every customizable landing page source can now generate its own QR code directly from the Sourcing tab, without a third-party generator — click the QR code icon next to Copy to get a scannable code for that link, then download a print-ready A4 PDF or print it directly for posters, flyers, or other recruitment materials. The code keeps working when you switch between the new and old candidate experience, as long as the custom source hasn't been deleted. Read the full article →
