Candidate updates

What changed

The core navigation now follows the real search loop: decide what matters today, review roles, inspect dated market movement, and move active opportunities forward.

Primary actions, loading states, filters, keyboard controls, and mobile layouts were tightened across the main candidate surfaces.

Why it matters

A job search already creates enough context switching. The updated hierarchy keeps the evidence and the next move in the same decision area.

Find it in Quiet Search

Open Today for the current priority, Review for the maybe-pile, Radar for company movement, or Pipeline for active work.

What changed

Quiet Search added free public-data sources for occupation context, company activity, and current opportunities.

Signal copy was rewritten around speed and reaching the right person, with visible receipts replacing unsupported prediction language.

Why it matters

You can judge whether a piece of market context is current and useful without taking an opaque score on faith.

Inspect the source and date beside market context in Radar, Search, and company intelligence.

What changed

Profile memory and AI receipts became visible instead of remaining hidden behind ranking behavior.

The focused search loop connects role decisions, profile context, and the next recommended action.

Why it matters

Personalization is more useful when you can see what the product remembers and correct it when your search changes.

Review remembered preferences in Profile and inspect decision context from Today and Review.

What changed

The product surfaces the functions, locations, and role patterns reinforced by your decisions.

Today was rebuilt as an evidence-first brief, while Radar gained clearer recency and source treatment on desktop and mobile.

Why it matters

Ranking changes are easier to trust when the product shows the decisions behind them rather than presenting a mysterious percentage.

See the learning summary below Today and use save or pass in Review to update it.

What changed

Review moved to a clearer save-or-pass interaction with deeper learning from explicit decisions.

The authenticated app shell and non-critical monitoring work were deferred so the useful interface could appear sooner.

Why it matters

The review queue should feel like a short decision session, not another dense job board.

Find it in Quiet Search

Open Review to work through the current queue on desktop or mobile.

What changed

Radar began emphasizing genuine funding, leadership, hiring, and risk events with dates and source context.

The landing and onboarding flow were simplified, and a fabricated demo offer was removed.

Why it matters

A weak signal should stay weak. The product now helps you investigate timing without pretending it knows that a role will appear.

Open Radar and inspect the source and age attached to each company case.

What changed

User-facing Scout language was replaced with Quiet Search across the app, notifications, and service surfaces.

Search criteria, remote preferences, authentication, and first-run data loading were made more consistent.

Why it matters

This established the product identity and the basic privacy-conscious workflow the later experience builds on.

This is an archive milestone from the founder-used private build.

What changed

A Supabase-backed role feed, automated scanner, email digest, recommendation layer, and job-detail workflow came together in the first working product loop.

The build was created for the founder's own search and was not offered as a public beta.

Why it matters

This is the origin of the product: one place to reduce search noise and keep the next useful action visible.
