Product Update Summer 2025: Smarter notes, charts, and ATS magic
Every interview produces a signal the recruiter walks away with: instinct, evidence, a handful of quotes. But the proof of that signal lives somewhere only the recruiter can see. The moment a hiring manager, a panelist, or an ATS field needs to act on it, that proof has to be assembled, formatted, and shipped.
The four features we shipped this summer work on exactly that handoff. They turn the signal into proof the next person can read: a rolled-up multi-source summary, an AI column chart, a markdown-styled note template, and a direct-to-ATS sync that skips the copy-paste.
Practically, that's less work to make interview data presentable, fewer places it lives, and fewer steps between a finished call and the next decision.
Multi-source summaries
The biggest unlock of the summer ends the panel's first 15 minutes of debrief catch-up.
Multi-source summaries combine every interview the candidate has had plus any reference documents (past transcripts, screening notes, a JD, a scorecard) into a single coherent brief. The same conversation, four sources becomes one read instead of five.
Recruiters are already using it ahead of intake and debrief notes so the panel walks in synced. The brief surfaces strengths, concerns, and open questions together, so the conversation starts at "what do we do?" instead of "what did each interviewer say?"
The feature works across the candidate's full interview corpus plus uploaded text documents. Where two sources disagree, we surface both signals rather than collapsing them, and the same engine now powers the picture of a candidate view across debrief, intake, and panel handoff.
AI column charts
The second update turns Reports into a presentation surface.
AI columns in Reports (Yes/No boolean, numerical, and currency) can now be plotted as charts. Pick the column, pick a date range, and the answer becomes visual.
Anything an AI column can score becomes a chart you can share with hiring managers or leadership: compensation expectation trends, remote-vs-office signals, LLM-experience hot-skill volume. Colors are customizable per category, so a chart can match a deck's palette without screenshot-then-edit gymnastics.
N/A values are excluded by default, so the chart shows what's actually been scored.
Markdown notes
Notes are the surface the hiring manager actually reads.
Adding use markdown to a Custom Template instruction tells our AI summaries to come back formatted: bold for keywords, headers for sections, bullets for lists. The popup formatting menu (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, bullets, nested bullets) also works on any summary after the fact.
Rather than a wall of text, the shared notes look curated and intentional, which reads faster end-to-end for a busy hiring manager. Some ATS integrations handle the markdown-to-HTML conversion at push time. Where they don't, the underlying text is still cleaner than a paragraph blob.
Auto-push notes to your ATS
Copying notes from one surface to another is the place a recruiter's day quietly loses an hour.
With auto-post turned on, finished AI Notes ship straight to applicant tracking software the moment they're ready, no Zapier, no copy-paste. It applies to Job Interview and Debrief types where the conversation matches an ATS entity, so a wrapped interview lands in the right candidate profile without anyone moving a thing. The setting lives at the workspace level in your account Settings > Integrations.
At launch in July 2025 the auto-post toggle excluded Recruitee and SmartRecruiters. Both have since shipped on related paths. The live list of supported connectors is on our integrations page, which is the source of truth as new ATSes come online.
What comes next
That's everything we shipped this summer. The throughline across all four features is the same: making the signal a recruiter walks away with into proof the next person can read and act on, with as few steps between them as possible.
We have more on the way for our AI Notes, Reports, and ATS integrations. Turn the features on for your next interview cycle, and tell us where the proof is still hard to read.
Frequently asked
Which ATSes does direct-to-ATS sync support at launch?
Auto-post is a workspace-level admin toggle, so a recruiter doesn't switch it on or off per interview. The live list of supported connectors lives on our integrations page and is the source of truth as new ATSes ship. At launch in July 2025, the toggle excluded Recruitee and SmartRecruiters. Both have since landed on related paths. If your ATS isn't on the list yet, ask your Metaview contact about the roadmap rather than waiting for an announcement post.
Can a hiring manager edit notes before they auto-push?
No. Notes auto-post in the form they're in when the conversation wraps, with no pre-push edit step. That's the trade-off the workspace-level setting makes: automation only works if the handoff is deterministic. If you need a human review step for compliance flows or regulated industries, leave the toggle off and use the manual push from inside the note view instead.
How many sources can a multi-source summary combine?
The summary works across the candidate's full interview corpus plus any text documents uploaded as additional context, like a JD or rubric. There isn't a hard cap on the number of conversations or documents; the limit is whatever the LLM can hold in context for one synthesis. Where two sources disagree, we surface both signals rather than collapsing them to a single answer.
Which AI column types can be plotted as charts?
Yes/No (boolean), numerical, and currency AI columns can be charted directly in Reports. Date-range options match the rest of the view, and N/A values are excluded by default so the chart shows what's actually been scored. The prefab Compensation Expectation column joined the chartable set on July 1, 2025, alongside the other numerical prefabs.
Does markdown formatting work on AI-generated notes, or only Custom Templates?
Adding use markdown to a Custom Template tells our AI summaries to come back formatted at generation time. The popup formatting menu (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, bullets, nested bullets) also works on any summary after the fact, so an existing summary can be cleaned up in-place. Some ATSes need markdown converted to HTML at push time. The integration handles that where supported.
