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.
