Calibration flow

Approve or skip candidates to teach Needle your quality bar. Three approvals in a row locks in your criteria - Needle learns what great looks like.

Must-have vs. preferred criteria

Separate hard requirements from nice-to-haves for more nuanced candidate evaluation.

View modes

Switch between card, table, and single candidate views with keyboard shortcuts.

Criteria editing

Add, edit, and delete sourcing criteria on the fly - Needle automatically re-evaluates existing candidates against your changes.

Interview feedback

Interview results now appear in the activity log with hover previews.
