Hire: Feature Requests

With multiple interviewers involved in any given position, it would be extremely helpful to implement color coding based on the interviewer. This would allow for quick identification of who is conducting each interview without needing to click into individual calendar entries.

We love that Breezy allows external recruiters to track candidates through the hiring process via the recruiter portal. However, we've run into a challenge with how stage names are displayed externally. Current Challenge: Internally, we use hiring stage names not just for process tracking, but as teaching cues for our hiring managers (e.g., a stage labeled “Intro to [Hiring Manager] (Auto)” indicates an automated invite is triggered). This helps our team stay aligned on process expectations, but that same instructional language is visible to external recruiters in the portal, which creates confusion and unintentionally exposes internal workflow details. We’ve explored the “Only visible to hiring managers” setting, but that hides the entire stage from recruiters — in this case, we do want recruiters to see candidate stage movement, just not the internal instructional details in the stage name. Feature Request: We’d love to see the ability to: ✔ Assign separate internal and external stage names, or ✔ Control what stage names appear to external recruiters, without hiding the stage entirely Why This Matters: Keeps the recruiter experience clean and professional Protects internal workflow details Allows hiring managers to continue using stage names as process guidance Preserves transparency for recruiters on candidate progress Happy to provide additional examples or use cases if helpful — thanks for considering!

We appreciate the automated stage actions feature, especially the ability to delay messages — it’s been helpful for managing candidate communication. However, we've noticed a visibility gap in how queued messages are handled. Current Challenge: When a candidate is moved into a stage with an automated action (e.g., disqualification), there’s no visible alert or indicator that a message has been triggered. Our team often works from the Board view and occasionally a candidate is accidentally dropped into the wrong stage, briefly triggering the automated message, before being quickly moved to the correct stage. Even though the candidate isn’t intended to be disqualified, the system still sends the queued message after the delay window. Feature Request: We’d love to see a visible “Message Queued” indicator or confirmation prompt within the candidate record or Board view that clearly shows when a message has been triggered but is still within the delay window. This would allow teams to catch mistakes quickly and cancel unintended communications before they go out. Why This Matters: Reduces accidental candidate rejection or miscommunication Provides peace of mind when using automated stage actions Makes the delay window feel actionable, rather than purely time-based Happy to provide more context or examples if helpful. Thanks for considering!

to allow configurations on which email address automated stage actioned emails are sent from and which email address replies go to. For example, I have a stage action set up to send an email requesting the candidate schedule an interview with me. I want hiring managers to be able to move people to that stage and the email automatically be sent out, but not showing their email address, as they are not conducting the interview. It would be nice to be able to configure it to always come from a specific sender for each stage and job.

Remove the option for candidates to provide personal references. As an employer we only accept professional reference checks.

A candidate might have been disqualified for multiple reasons. For reporting purposes, it would be nice to select any reasons that apply as to why the candidate might not have been selected. Ex: remote/hybrid flexibility required + they require sponsorship - when the company doesn't accommodate either. Reports on this information would be helpful to share with executives when they are establishing limitations on hiring.

auto highlights candidates resume with key words from the job description to visually see how many times it was used.

It would be very helpful if there was a report available in Breezy that would list all interviews that happened in the account, including the candidates and users who attended these interviews.

We’d like to start tracking more detailed data on background screenings, assessments, and reference checks. Specifically, we’re hoping to report on the following: Who initiated the request Date the request was sent Date it was completed How many days from sent to completion it took. Status (e.g. sent, waiting on candidate, completed, failed) A direct link to the candidate card that opens to the relevant tab (e.g. if I’m viewing background checks, the link should go straight to that section of the candidate card without needing additional clicks) Ideally, this would be presented in a table format similar to the Open Positions report, with the ability to export to Excel for further analysis.

We have a standard application questionnaire that goes to all applicants. We have some positions that require additional screening questions upon application. It would be nice to add the standard one that already contains the mandatory company-wide screening questions, create role-specific ones separately, and add multiple when needed.
