Major releases, thoughtful improvements, and the fixes that keep hiring moving.

October 23, 2026

Question Templates

Save question sets as templates and add them to any role from Add question.

Question Templates
  • Stop rewriting the same questions. Work authorization, availability, licensing. Build them once and reuse them on every role.
  • Consistent wording, every role. Add from the template instead of retyping, so the same question reads the same everywhere.
  • Still yours to tweak. Questions are copied into the role, so edit answer options, End Early rules and order per role without touching the template.

Agents

Describe a recruiting task in plain English and Ribbon turns it into an agent that does it for you, on a schedule or the moment something happens in your pipeline.

Agents

Set it up in one sentence. Type what you want done. Ribbon writes the steps and shows you them before anything runs. No workflow builder to learn.

Runs when you need it. Trigger an agent on events like a completed interview, or put it on a schedule, like every 30 minutes.

Strong candidates reach you first. Shortlist top interviews automatically or email your hiring manager the moment someone impressive finishes. No more top talent buried in a queue.

Set it once, cover every role. Scope an agent to one role or your whole org.

Always know what happened. Every run shows when, what and who. Switch off any agent in one click.

Shortlists

Add candidates from any interview into one list, for a role or a talent pool. Lists stay private until you share, and the link is view-only. Anyone with it can view for 180 days, no Ribbon account needed.

Shortlists
  • One list, any interview. Mix candidates from different interview flows, for one role or a talent pool.
  • You stay in control. Lists are private until you share. Your team can edit, and the public link is view-only.‍
  • No login needed. Hiring managers open the link and see your picks, even without a Ribbon account.

Teach Ribbon how to score

Disagree with a score? Say why. Ribbon learns from your feedback and scores the next candidate closer to how you would.

Teach Ribbon how to score
  • Your bar, not ours. Scores drift toward what you actually reward.
  • One note, many candidates. Feedback applies to the whole role, not just this person.
  • Less second-guessing. Fewer scores to overrule as the model catches up to you.

📋 Import questions from a CSV or a paste

Bring your existing question list into Ribbon in one step. Upload a CSV or paste plain text and every line becomes a question.

  • No retyping. Your Google Sheet or old ATS export drops straight in.
  • Bulk by default. Ten questions or two hundred, same click.
  • Edit after. Reorder, tweak, or delete once they land.

📅 Close a role on a date

Set a close date and Ribbon stops accepting new interviews when it arrives. No reminder needed.

  • Deadlines hold themselves. Application windows end when you said they would.
  • Nothing slips through. No late completions after the cutoff.
  • Set it at launch. Decide the end when you open the role and move on.
