Recruitment Marketing Release Notes

Recruitment Marketing Public

The following items are changes and enhancements to the PageUp Recruitment Marketing product.

For other product releases, you can view the latest changes under Upgrades.

Currently being worked on

Embedded Apply experience

We are working closely with a number of partners to deliver an enhanced apply experience for candidates submitting their initial applications for job opportunities. 

This unified experience delivers an embedded application form, which is presented to the candidate directly on the job description page on your career site. Removing the need for the candidate to be redirected to the ATS's native apply portal for the initial application means that the risk of candidates dropping off during the completion of their initial application is significantly reduced.

Once submitted, the application is automatically created within the ATS, and the candidate's progress through the recruitment process is managed in the ATS from that point on as normal.

This capability will be available for customers of Dayforce and Workday in early 2026, with customers of the PageUp ATS to follow during CY2026 H1.

Answer Engine & Generative Engine optimisation

Whilst the powerful search engine optimisation capabilities of the Recruitment Marketing solution are still vitally important to your candidate engagement strategy, the way that people source information is quickly changing, and we are working to ensure that you can represent your employer brands effectively on new generative AI solutions such as ChatGPT, Gemini etc.

The great news is that the Recruitment Marketing solution is already well placed in terms of generating content which is optimised to be injested by Large Language Models.

We're working to add additional optimisations to LLM friendly content such as FAQs to ensure that they are easily accessible to these evolving techologies.

Greenhouse: Upgrade to v3 of Harvest API

To ensure that our integration with Greenhouse continues to utilize the most up to date version of the Greenhouse API, we are currently working to update the integration to use v3 of the Harvest API. Greenhouse has advised that previous versions of the API will be deprecated from 1 Aug 2026.

As part of the upgrade, Greenhouse customers will be required to reauthenticate their integration via OAuth, and we will share details of how to do this once the development has been completed.

Due to low usage, as part of this upgrade, the functionality to allow Recruitment Marketing customers to push the candidate's interaction score into Greenhouse will be deprecated. Once you have migrated to the latest (v3) version of the integration, this functionality will no longer be available to you.

Leverage Employee Connections to deliver authentic employee generated content

We are excited to announce a significant upgrade to the Employee Connections module.

Our team have been working to fully integrate the Employee Connections product - including the always on question and answer capability, and the complimentary Live Chat solution - directly into the core Recruitment Marketing product.

Directly integrating the employee generated content solution into the career site offers many benefits, including:

  • Ability to host the Employee Connections product on your main career site domain.
  • SEO friendly traffic driven to your career site via the discussions on the Q&A platform.
  • Content is able to be branded via the Recruitment Marketing content management system.
  • Answer engine (AEO) and generative engine (GEO) friendly content.

The upgraded offering also allows you to utilise the Employee Connections content extensively throughout your career site. For example, you could add a carousel of employee amabassador profiles from a particular part of your organisation to a relevant landing page, or maybe add relevant discussions from candidates to a particular job description template.

You can also embed Employee Connections content, such as discussions or ambassador profiles directly into your nurture emails, helping to provide that authentic element to your candidate outreach and engagement.

For more information on the Employee Connections module, refer to Employee Connections, or discuss with the PageUp Customer Success team.

February 2026

Hirebridge ATS integration: Enhanced support for salary and workplace type data

We've recently made some enhancements to the integration with the Hirebridge ATS to provide additional control over the job requisition data, which is synchronized into Recruitment Marketing.

You now have more flexibility over configuring how Recruitment Marketing identifies the workplace type (e.g., remote, hybrid, or on-site) of a particular job, and the integration will also automatically pull in the salary information for a job using the standard salary-related data fields in the Hirebridge RSS feed.

For more information on configuring the integration, refer to Hirebridge.

Greenhouse ATS Integration: Support for candidate location field

Following requests from a number of customers, we've enhanced the Greenhouse direct apply capability to provide customers with the ability to capture the candidate's location when they are completing the application form embedded directly into your Recruitment Marketing powered career site.

Whilst now supported by Recruitment Marketing as part of the integration with Greenhouse, the location fields themselves are not enabled by default within Greenhouse, so you will need to speak to the Greenhouse team to arrange for the functionality to be enabled in that system before the question can be configured to be shown to candidates via Recruitment Marketing.

For information on how to configure this functionality, refer to Greenhouse - Set up candidate location field.

Accessibility: Career site heading levels

As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that career site content can be configured to be accessible to all visitors, including those who utilize assistive technologies such as screen readers to interact with the pages, we've made changes to the way that Headings are managed with a number of standard content blocks within the Recruitment Marketing content management system.

A number of content blocks, such as the FAQ block, include headings as part of the HTML markup generated when the block is rendered on a page on your career site. Prior to these enhancements, the specific Heading level was hard-coded, meaning that the hierarchy of heading levels on your page could be incorrect, with levels potentially being skipped or duplicated - neither of which is desirable for assistive technologies.

To ensure that the heading levels on your page can follow a logical hierarchy when these blocks are utilized, a number of blocks now provide you with the option to specify the appropriate heading level to be used for that particular implementation of the content block.

For more information, refer to Content accessibility in Recruitment Marketing - Heading levels.

New Content Block: Tile Layout

An engaging, informative, and authentic careers site is a key part of an effective Talent Acquisition strategy, and Recruitment Marketing's content management system makes it easy for you to produce visually appealing content without the need for in-depth HTML and CSS knowledge.

To ensure that we continue to provide you with innovative ways to engage your potential candidates, we are excited to announce the launch of a new, highly configurable content block - the Tile Layout.

As can be seen from the animation below, the Tile Layout allows you to easily create a series of image based tiles, which can be used to link out to other pages within your career site. In this example, the tiles related to job families within this organisation display the number of jobs currently advertised on the career site for that job family. Clicking the tile links the candidate through to a pre-filtered search of advertised roles for that job family. It could also be configured to link out to another page, such as a dedicated landing page for that job family.

Tile Layout Example Animation

Without the need for any HTML or CSS changes, the layout of the tiles can easily be configured to deliver different visual approaches, such as a uniform layout:

Tiles Layout Example Regular

Alternatively, the same tiles can be laid out in a more mosaic style approach, such as:

Tiles Layout Example Mosaic

The possible layouts are virtually limitless, and it is extremely simple to experiment to find a layout that works well for your needs.

For information on how to add and configure a Tile Layout block, refer to Creating and managing Tile layout content blocks.

Accessibility: Career site image block settings

As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that career site content can be configured to be accessible to all visitors, including those who utilize assistive technologies such as screen readers to interact with the pages, we've made an update to the settings available to you when adding or editing image blocks.

Whilst configuring the block, you can now specify the intended purpose of the image as being either decorative, informative, or functional. The selected setting influences the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) tags assigned to the image when it is rendered on the career site page, helping to ensure it is presented appropriately to assistive technologies.
