Release Notes

Stay updated with the latest features and improvements. 33 releases

Version 2.89.0

Clearer saved jobs — company names, source links, and inline editing

Enhancement

See the company on every saved job

Your Saved Jobs library now shows the company name on each card, with the source (like linkedin.com) tucked into a small pill instead of a long, unreadable URL. It's much easier to scan your list and tell jobs apart at a glance.

Enhancement

Jump back to the original job posting

When you open a saved job's preview, there's now a link back to the original posting so you can revisit the full listing on the source site in one click — on both desktop and mobile.

New Feature

Edit a saved job's title, company, and location

You can now fix or fill in a saved job's title, company, and location right from the preview. Handy when an imported posting came through with a missing or messy company name.

Security

Safer links to external job sites

Buttons and links that open a job's source site now only follow real web addresses, so manually-added jobs and unusual entries can no longer trigger an unexpected or unsafe link.

Version 2.88.0

Install the CandidateHub MCP from the Official Registry & Smithery

New Feature

Install the CandidateHub MCP from the Official Registry & Smithery

The CandidateHub MCP server is now listed on the Official MCP Registry and on Smithery, so you can discover and add it to your AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients) without hand-editing config.

Enhancement

MCP server reports its real version and starts without a token

Asking your AI assistant for MCP server info now returns the real version and build instead of "unknown", and the server starts up so clients can list all 18 tools before you paste a token — you only need your Personal Access Token when a tool actually calls the API.

Version 2.86.0

A cleaner Job Tracker on mobile

Enhancement

A clear empty state when your tracker is empty

When you have no jobs saved yet, the Job Tracker on mobile now shows a simple 'No jobs tracked yet' screen with an Add Job button, so it's obvious how to get started — instead of showing placeholder entries.

Version 2.84.0

Install the CandidateHub Chrome extension straight from the site

Enhancement

Install the Chrome extension straight from CandidateHub

The /extension page has been rebuilt with a clear "Add to Chrome — Free" button that takes you straight to the Chrome Web Store listing, plus a preview of the in-browser panel and a quick three-step walkthrough. New users can now find and install the extension directly from the site in two clicks, while people who already have it can jump straight to connecting their account.

Version 2.83.0

UI polish: softer borders, readable dark mode, consistent editors

Enhancement

Cleaner card and border styling

Borders across the app are softer and more consistent — the harsh near-black outlines that briefly appeared on cards, panels and inputs in light mode are gone, so pages look calmer and more polished.

Fix

Improved dark mode readability

Several dark-mode contrast issues are fixed, including the MCP token screen and the Career Timeline on your CV preview, so text and inputs are easy to read in dark mode.

Enhancement

More consistent resume editor

Field labels throughout the resume editor now share one consistent size, weight and spacing, so the editor reads as a single, tidy form in both light and dark mode.

Enhancement

Smoother modals and buttons

Dialogs now fade and scale in gently when they open, and primary buttons have a subtle glow on hover. Motion is automatically reduced if you've asked your device to minimize animations.

Version 2.81.0

CandidateHub Chrome extension — your AI job-search copilot, in the browser

New Feature

Detect any job, on any career site

The new CandidateHub Chrome extension detects the job posting on the page you're viewing — LinkedIn, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, or any company career site — and opens a side panel with everything you need. It's read-only and only acts when you click; it never fills out or submits applications for you.

New Feature

Tailored résumés & cover letters in one click

From any job posting, generate a résumé (and cover letter) tailored to that exact role and download it as a PDF or Word file — without leaving the page.

New Feature

Instant fit & compensation insights

See how your profile matches a role and an estimated salary range for it, right in the side panel, the moment you open a job.

New Feature

Track applications and save job searches

Save jobs to your tracker and save a search on any job board so you can pick up where you left off — all from the browser.

New Feature

One-click LinkedIn profile import

Import your LinkedIn profile into CandidateHub straight from the extension to get started in seconds.

Version 2.80.0

Scanned & image-only PDF resumes now supported

Enhancement

Upload scanned or photo-based PDF resumes

Resumes saved as scanned or image-only PDFs (e.g. a phone photo or a flatbed scan with no selectable text) now import successfully. We read the document visually and extract your details automatically, instead of asking you to paste the text manually.

Version 2.78.0

CV page-length parity across Preview, PDF, and Word

Enhancement

Consistent CV page length everywhere

A CV you ask to be 1 page now fits 1 page in the on-screen Preview, the PDF download, and the Word (DOCX) download — including when an AI assistant generates and downloads it for you.

Fix

"1-page" Word downloads stop spilling to 2-3 pages

Server- and AI-assistant-initiated Word exports now respect the requested length instead of always sending the full CV to the Word renderer.

Enhancement

AI-assistant exports honor the generated length

When a CV is downloaded via the MCP tools, both the PDF and DOCX now match the length the CV was actually generated at, instead of defaulting to the longest layout.

Version 2.76.0

Dark mode polish

Fix

Dark mode polish

Several dark-mode contrast and color issues have been fixed across the app for a more consistent, comfortable look.

Version 2.73.0

New Feature
