We are excited to announce a major update to the CazVid platform on Desktop, released on June 21, 2025 at 15:05. This comprehensive update introduces powerful new features, enhances user privacy and access controls, and streamlines communication workflows. As this is a high-impact release with a severity score of 100, it marks a significant step forward in providing a more flexible, secure, and user-friendly experience for all users.
This sprint represents a pivotal milestone in CazVid's development, bringing several key enhancements designed to simplify hiring, improve privacy, and boost platform engagement. Here’s a detailed overview of what’s been rolled out:
We’ve launched the Public AI Job Builder, which allows anyone to create job postings effortlessly using AI-powered tools. Available without requiring login, this feature significantly lowers barriers to posting jobs, encouraging higher volume and broader participation. This open approach helps users quickly generate quality job listings and reach more candidates.
Additionally, a new Teaser Plan has been introduced. It offers limited access to core features, showcasing CazVid’s value while gently guiding users toward full upgrades through strategic calls-to-action (CTAs). This balanced approach helps new users explore the platform without friction while promoting premium plans.

Protecting user data remains a top priority. We’ve implemented full data obfuscation for unpaid users, ensuring sensitive applicant information—such as names, emails, phone numbers, and CazMeter scores—is hidden from view. This prevents unauthorized access and maintains privacy standards across all frontend and backend components.
Furthermore, features like "View Resume" and messaging capabilities are now exclusively accessible to subscribed users. These privacy measures ensure that only paying users can interact with candidate details, aligning platform security with our monetization strategy.
Meanwhile, full access is restored for paid subscribers, who can now view all applicant data and communicate freely. This resolves previous access issues and ensures a seamless experience for premium users.
Communication is now faster and more intuitive across the platform. All candidate views—including recommendations, lists, and profiles—feature click-to-contact buttons for WhatsApp, email, LinkedIn, and direct messaging. These enhancements facilitate immediate outreach, reducing delays and improving engagement.
Major improvements have been made to the Recommendations and Applications sections. Users can now directly message or connect with matched applicants without extra steps, making the hiring process smoother and more efficient.
Additionally, after posting a job or reviewing candidates, users are automatically redirected to the Recommendations tab to enable prompt action.
All upgrade prompts have been refined for clarity and ease of use. Well-designed CTAs guide users from the Teaser Plan to full subscriptions seamlessly. The Stripe in-app checkout system is now fully integrated, providing real-time confirmation of purchases and simplifying the upgrade process.
These improvements ensure that upgrading is straightforward and transparent, encouraging more users to unlock full platform capabilities.
This update affects several core functionalities including My CazVids (now replaced by My Posts), Search Candidates, Inbox, Workspaces, Create a CazVid, Contacts, and Lists. The changes enhance privacy, accessibility, and user experience across these sections. For example:
This release marks a significant stride in CazVid’s ongoing strategy to enhance data privacy, user engagement, and monetization. It opens up broader access through the public AI Job Builder and streamlines interactions with candidates—making hiring faster and more secure than ever before.
We remain committed to continually improving your experience on CazVid. Stay tuned for future updates as we build on this foundation to deliver even more powerful features designed to support your hiring success.
