Your interviews, reviewed
Latest25 August 2026After an interview is transcribed, you now get a written review of it: what you were asked, what you said, what either side promised, and what to do next.
- ·Every question you were asked is listed with the time it came up, so you can jump straight to that moment in the recording.
- ·Your answers are scored against the same criteria the Rehearsal Studio uses, so practice and the real thing are directly comparable.
- ·Anything you did not really answer is called out — and those questions are added to your future practice sets, so you get another go at them.
- ·Commitments are recorded: what they said they would send you, and what you said you would do.
- ·A follow-up note is drafted for you, referencing something you actually discussed. It is a draft — nothing is ever sent for you.
- ·You can record how each interview turned out, which is what lets your dashboard show which kinds of interview actually convert.
- ·Phone interviews are supported properly: choose "a phone call" and you will not be asked to share a screen there is no point sharing.
- ·You can upload an interview you recorded somewhere else — a voice memo, a Zoom export — and it goes through exactly the same steps.
- ·We do not predict whether you will be hired, rate you as a candidate, or assess your personality. The review records what was said; it does not judge who said it.
Delete your account, and everything in it
25 August 2026You can now delete your account yourself, from Settings. It removes your files first and then every record we hold about you — and you have a week to change your mind.
- ·Settings → Account has a Delete your account section. You confirm by typing your own email address rather than clicking a dialog, because the mistake worth preventing is being on the wrong account, not clicking too fast.
- ·Deletion runs 7 days after you confirm, and you can cancel at any point during those 7 days. Until then nothing is removed.
- ·When it runs it removes your uploaded résumés, generated documents, employer messages and attachments, interview and practice recordings, and transcripts — the stored files first, then every record.
- ·Billing records are kept for 7 years because tax law requires it. That was already in the Privacy Policy; it is now also stated on the deletion screen itself, where it is actually read.
- ·Only the account owner can start or cancel a deletion.
Matches from the whole market, not just startup job boards
25 August 2026Roles now come from employers well beyond the tech company boards — universities, banks, healthcare systems, government contractors — and each one is tailored from the full job posting.
- ·A broad job-market source that had been quietly returning nothing is now live. In its first hours it brought in over a thousand roles, from employers the company-by-company boards were never going to cover.
- ·Résumés and cover letters are written from the complete job posting. Previously, roles from that source arrived as a short preview — a few hundred words — and everything was tailored from that. The full text is now pulled in first, averaging roughly five times more to work from.
- ·Where only a short posting is available, the résumé review page says so plainly, so you know why a draft reads more generally than usual instead of guessing.
- ·A source that fails once mid-run no longer throws away everything it had already found.
Interview recording
25 August 2026Record an interview and get a transcript — with permission handled properly, because the other person on the call did not sign up for anything.
- ·Recording is per interview, never a setting you leave on. Permission expires after four hours and you can withdraw it mid-call.
- ·Before your first recording you are told the part that catches people out: in much of the world, recording a conversation is only lawful if everyone on it has agreed. You confirm you will tell them.
- ·A recording indicator stays visible the whole time, including in the browser tab title when you are looking at the call instead of us.
- ·Audio is transcribed on ApplyStorm’s own servers by default and deleted after 30 days. The transcript is kept for a year. You can delete either yourself at any time.
- ·Audio by default, with screen video as a separate opt-in that is off unless you tick it. You pick which tab carries the call and tick “Also share tab audio”; while you record, the panel shows which sources are actually live so you cannot end up with only your own half of the conversation.
- ·Audio recordings have no player and no download link — they exist to become a transcript, then they go. Where you recorded the screen, the video is playable on the transcript page, because a screen recording cannot be read as text.
Messages, rebuilt
25 August 2026Talk to the specialist working your applications, and read employer mail as conversations instead of a wall of messages.
- ·Messages is now two places: a private conversation with your specialist, and your employer mail. They are kept apart on purpose — a note to your specialist should never be one keystroke away from a reply to a hiring manager.
- ·When your specialist needs something before they can submit an application, the question now appears where the notification sends you, and you can answer it there. Answering it releases the application.
- ·Your specialist can see when you have replied, so a question you have answered stops holding things up.
- ·Your email is grouped into conversations, so a reply sits with the message it answers rather than somewhere else in the list. It covers everything that arrives at your application address — employers, recruiters, agencies and job boards — not employers alone.
- ·If more than one specialist works your account, every message says who wrote it, in one shared conversation rather than several you would have to keep track of.
- ·Unread mail is marked as unread, with a filter for it and a count on the tab. Opening a conversation marks only that one read.
Rehearsal
24 August 2026Practise interview questions written from the job you actually applied to, answer them out loud, and get scored on what an interviewer would be listening for.
- ·Questions are generated from the job description, the résumé that was actually submitted for it, and your own match-score rationale — not from a generic question bank.
- ·Every question traces to a specific line in the posting or your résumé. Anything the system cannot trace is discarded rather than shown.
- ·Answer out loud. Recordings are transcribed on ApplyStorm’s own servers by default; audio is never sent to a third party unless you are explicitly moved to one.
- ·Each answer is scored against a rubric built for that question type — behavioural, technical, system design, case, and role-specific each get different criteria.
- ·Feedback cites its evidence. Every "what was missing" point quotes the phrase from your own answer that prompted it, so you can check it rather than take our word.
- ·Answers you are happy with can be saved to your Answer Bank and reused when filling out real applications.
- ·Practice mode allows unlimited retries per question; full mock gives you one attempt each, the way a real interview does.
Employer replies land in ApplyStorm
20 August 2026Mail from employers now arrives in the product, is matched to the application it belongs to, and can be replied to without leaving the dashboard.
- ·Each account gets its own address for applications, so replies come back somewhere the product can see them.
- ·Incoming mail is classified — confirmations, rejections, interview invitations — and linked to the right application.
- ·Reply to an employer directly from Messages, with proper threading so it lands in the same conversation on their side.
- ·Attachments employers send are stored and downloadable, never opened or rendered in the browser.
- ·Correspondence is kept for 365 days and then deleted automatically.
Done-for-you applications
13 August 2026A managed service line where a trained rep works your application backlog on your behalf — with your explicit consent, and a full audit trail.
- ·Nothing happens without you opting in first. Consent is required before any rep can see your material, and revoking it closes their access immediately.
- ·Every action a rep takes on your account is recorded and visible to you.
- ·Reps never see your EEO information; it stays encrypted and out of their view entirely.
Plans and billing
15 May 2026Free, Pro and Premium tiers, with usage caps enforced in the pipeline itself.
- ·Monthly caps on applications, auto-submissions and résumé tailoring, applied where the work happens rather than only in the interface.
- ·Trial codes for early access.
