Brand Builder: Branded CV & Blind CV preview

Branded CV preview

  1. Original CV on the left, your branded preview on the right, so it's easy to spot anything the parser missed.
  2. Click any section of the preview (name, summary, an experience, an education, skills, contact) to tweak it inline.
  3. Edits apply only to the generated PDF, never to the candidate record.
  4. If a role on the CRM is missing its description but the uploaded CV has one, the preview pulls it in automatically.
  5. Add experience or education entries from the left rail when something is missing from the candidate record.
  6. Output is saved as the candidate's Agency CV.

Blind CV preview

  • Same template and layout as the Branded preview, with personally identifying details stripped for client pre-screening.
  • Always removed: candidate name, email, phone number, and LinkedIn URL.
  • Optional extras you can toggle from the Anonymisation panel: company names, education institutions, specific dates, and location detail.
  • Side-by-side stays on by default in Blind mode, so you can see exactly what was redacted.
  • Output is saved as the candidate's Blind CV and shows up under the new Blind tab on the Candidate Sidebar.

Open Brand Builder and click the ? in the top right for the full in-app guide.

Team Relationship Intelligence

featureimprovement
Team Relationship Intelligence
  • Team connections on every profile - open any candidate or contact and see which team members are 1st‑degree LinkedIn connections.
  • View history – how many times your team has viewed this profile and who looked most recently
  • Time on radar – how long this person has been in your agency's orbit
  • No duplicate approaches – see if a colleague is already talking to someone before you reach out

Why it matters

Your team of 20 recruiters has roughly 200,000 LinkedIn connections between them. Until now, those were invisible to each other. Cold outreach was happening daily when warm introductions were one desk away.

Warm paths convert 3–4× better than cold messages. Now you can see them.

Available on every plan via the Chrome Extension.

API Exchange Pro Extension

feature

API Exchange has released a brand-new Pro version of their Chrome extension — rebuilt from the ground up with AI capabilities and deeper CRM integrations.

Recruitly is a supported integration partner, meaning you can connect the extension directly to your Recruitly CRM.

What you can do

  • Import your LinkedIn connections into Recruitly with a single click — no CSV exports, no manual data entry
  • Search LinkedIn Talent Solutions and push candidates straight into your pipeline
  • Enrich candidate profiles with up-to-date contact details and work history

The Pro extension is fully compliant with LinkedIn's platform guidelines.

Before you install

If you have the older API Exchange extension, remove it first. The Pro version replaces it entirely — it's faster, more stable, and better aligned with LinkedIn's latest architecture.

Reporting Module Upgrade

improvementfeature

Redesigned Reports Hub — A clean, searchable home page with categorised report cards, colour-coded sections (ATS, CRM, Marketing, System), and descriptions for every report.

  • Summary + Data Tabs — Every report now has a Summary tab (pivot grid & chart) and a new Data tab showing all individual records in a full data grid.
  • Richer Data Columns — Candidate name, email, phone, employer, company, contact and more are now visible instantly in every report without extra clicks.
  • Export Everything — Three dedicated export buttons on every report:
    • Export Summary (Excel)
    • Export Chart (PNG image)
    • Export Data (Excel with styled headers)
  • Interactive Data Grids — Column resizing, reordering, column chooser to show/hide fields, header filters, and search across all data grids.
  • Clickable Records — Names in the Data tab open a record popup directly, so you can drill into any candidate, job, company or contact without leaving the report.
  • In-Report Help — Every report has a help button explaining what the report shows, where the data comes from, and how to use filters.
  • Faster Performance — Backend optimisations to load reports significantly faster.
