Changelog
We're constantly shipping. Here is a rundown of the latest updates and improvements to Polymer.
Candidate messaging

Sent messages are delivered to the candidate via email and their replies are displayed in-context, within the message feed.

Hiring teams
You can now assign a team of users to individual jobs. It's a great way to split up your hiring efforts when looking to fill multiple roles at once.
Admin roles still have the ability to access every job, but Member roles can only see and interact with the jobs they have been assigned to. Users will also only receive new application notifications for jobs they are assigned to.
You can edit a job's hiring team from the new Hiring team section within Job setup.
Other improvements
- Added the ability for Admins to filter their job list to view only their assigned jobs, all jobs, or archived jobs
- Refined member role abilities
Candidate quick search
You can now search through all your active candidates. Just begin typing a candidate name into the seach field located at the top of every page and a dropdown will list the matching results. Click on a result, and you'll be navigated directly to their page.
The candidate quick search includes candidates from every active job that you have access to.

Publish jobs to a Webflow site
We added the ability to have your Wrk jobs be published to a Webflow site via their CMS features. As you create, edit, and remove jobs in Wrk, a Webflow CMS collection of jobs can be updated automatically.

Videos appear in a large, dedicated section preceeding the job's description. It's a great way to drive additional interest in an opportunity or your company in general.
Distribute job posts to We Work Remotely
We added the ability to create a post on We Work Remotely directly from Wrk. This integration is our first of many planned integrations for job post distribution.
You can find the ability to create and manage We Work Remotely job posts within the new Distribution section that exists for each job in Wrk.

Support for Google Jobs
We added a job board setting that enables your published job posts to appear in Google Jobs. That way, when people run Google searchs for jobs at your company, your posts will appear in the results as part of a specialized jobs widget.
All this happens automatically when you publish. We call the Google Search Indexing API and your job will soon-after show up as a Google Search result.
Support for Google Analytics
