Release Notes

v1.40 (2026.01.22)

🚀 GigHQ.ai v1.40 — A Massive Leap Forward!

2. Connect to the Role Highlight 2–3 critical job requirements and back them up with concrete examples from your experience.
3. Connect to the Future Close with enthusiasm and a forward-looking statement about your potential impact.

The result: cover letters that feel intentional, thoughtful, and human.

---

💬 User Feedback = Real Improvements

To give you even more context, we’ve added a calendar view—so you can track interviews, follow-ups, and key dates at a glance.

⚡ Bulk Processing for Notifications – You told us that handling notifications one at a time was frustrating, so we fixed it. Now, bulk process your notifications and clear the clutter in just a few clicks.

🪄 And Just One More Thing… – We’re introducing our Chrome Extension! Now, while browsing job descriptions, you can instantly get company and job insights without jumping back to app.gighq.ai or www.gighq.ai. It’s like having the power of GigHQ.ai right in your browser.

We’re building a smarter, more intuitive job search platform that adapts to the needs of real job seekers. Give it a spin and let us know what you think! 🚀

v1.4 (2025.04.01)

With v1.4, we’re helping job seekers focus their energy on what matters most—interviews and opportunities worth pursuing—while increasing transparency across the platform.

What’s New in v1.4?

🎯 Interview Tracking & Reminders – Your Active job applications now clearly display scheduled interviews, with reminders sent the day before to help you stay prepared and confident.

🚫 Mark Jobs as “No Longer Interested” – Not every opportunity is the right one—and that’s okay. You can now click “I’m no longer interested in this job” to move it from Active to Archived. Stay focused on the jobs you’re truly excited about.

📈 More Transparency on Companies & Jobs – We’ve enhanced our Companies and Company Details pages with anonymous, aggregate totals showing how many applications each company is receiving via GigHQ.ai.

🆕 New Job Details Page – Want to see how a specific role is performing? The new Job Details page shows application volume and stage breakdowns—all aggregated and anonymous—so you can gauge competition and hiring activity.

We’re building a job search platform that’s data-driven, transparent, and human-centered. We’d love your feedback as we keep improving!
