Talent Autopilot release notes: October 2026

Updates shipped October 1 to November 2, 2026.

This month was about getting more candidates to reply without more work for the recruiter. Outreach follows up on its own, sends when you choose, and warns you before you email someone a teammate already reached. The search also got sharper: it reads education requirements, flags who’s likely to listen, and lets you source straight from a company’s org chart.

Five-email sequences

What changed: A project can now send a first email plus up to 4 follow-ups, 5 emails in all. Each one has its own copy and its own wait, from 1 to 10 business days. A reply, bounce or unsubscribe stops the rest of the sequence automatically. Candidate cards show where each person is (“Follow-up 1 of 2”), and Insights counts follow-ups.

Why it matters: More candidates reply without you chasing each one by hand. Before this, a project could send only one follow-up.

Scheduled emails

What changed: The Send button now has a Schedule send option. Pick a preset like tomorrow at 9:00am or set a custom time. A scheduled email shows its send time, with Send now and Cancel.

Why it matters: Your first email lands when candidates are most likely reading email. If you finish outreach at 4:45pm, you no longer have to choose between sending now and remembering to come back.

No more double-ups

What changed: Candidate cards show a “previously contacted” chip. Before you send, the compose drawer tells you how many people in your selection were already contacted (“2 of 18 already contacted”) and lists who reached out, from which project, and when.

Why it matters: You won’t email someone a teammate already reached from another project at your company.

Search that reads the degree

What changed: When a job description asks for a school, degree or major, for example “a bachelor’s in Computer Science from UT Austin,” the agent picks it up and shows it on the search plan, where you can see and edit it. Candidates who match rank higher.

Why it matters: Education requirements in your job description now shape the search instead of getting lost.

Likely to listen

What changed: A “Likely to listen” chip on candidate cards flags which candidates look open to hearing from a recruiter, and the candidate drawer shows why. You can also filter by it in search and see counts by lane.

Why it matters: You know who to contact first.

Source from the org chart

What changed: Start from one great candidate. Open the org chart straight from their profile, drill into their company by department, team and job function, with headcounts, then add their peers to your project and pick each person’s stage.

Why it matters: When you find a great candidate, finding more people like them at the same company takes a few clicks instead of a rebuilt search.

Full resume descriptions (rolling out)

Candidate profiles now show full work-history detail, so you can judge fit without leaving the app. This is reaching more candidates over the coming weeks.

Project pricing and renewals

Each Autopilot project is a flat charge to your account and includes 500 contacts over 60 days. When a project reaches its limit, it stops finding new people and shows Renew. Follow-ups, replies and exports to people you’ve already reached keep working. Projects no longer archive on their own at day 60, and you can unarchive an archived project. You can see what your account has left in Settings > Usage.

Smaller improvements

• “Show me more” with nothing left now asks what to change, instead of ending the search.
• Pipeline summary: share a pipeline view with your hiring manager from the Insights page. Export it to PDF or copy it to Slack.
• Email template library: save any email as a template and reuse it on other projects.
• Optional unsubscribe link: off by default. You can add it to follow-ups, and a click asks for confirmation so email security scanners can’t unsubscribe anyone by accident.
• Follow-ups wait through mailbox problems: if Gmail or Outlook disconnects, queued follow-ups wait and the owner sees a Reconnect prompt. Follow-ups still send if the original email was deleted.
• Bounce handling: a hard bounce ends that candidate’s sequence and no longer counts against your reply rate.
• Paced sending: every connected mailbox sends at a steady, safe pace to protect deliverability.
